The Rocket Summer
''Calendar Days"
The Militia Group
It seems like the thing to do these days: go
into a studio, make an amateur recording, start
off small and hope someone notices you and you
make it big. Dashboard Confessional did it. Jack
Johnson did it, even Abandoned Pools did it.
For Bryce Avary and his project The Rocket
Summer, the idea couldn't have been any worse.
The result is his album “Calendar Days.” In this
bad move with unforgivable results, “Calendar
Days” presents the listener with 10 tracks which
are essentially the same song rewritten enough to
pass as something different. The lack of musical
range is also amplified by trite lyrics that make a
typical emo garage band look like Bob Dylan
and off-key singing that makes Bob Dylan sound
like Freddie Mercury, not to mention the incredi
bly mediocre instrumental accompaniment. And
just in case you haven’t figured out you were in a
musical black hole yet, the track “What We Hate,
We Make “ features a sixth grade girls choir. In
all fairness, the choir isn't that bad. However,
Avary's vocals, along with the choir, creates a
sonic dissonance that would make even Homer’s
sirens gnash their teeth.
Perhaps the biggest atrocity associated with
this album is that Bryce Avary expects listeners
to pay their hard-earned money, only to be tor
tured by his musical ineptness. After this deba
cle, Avary should consider another career path
and leave his rock and roll fantasies at home.
