I saw these guys I think for the first time at a jemo show. Then later I saw them again at… a jemo show. I do believe the first was at Lee’s Palace and the second was at Holy Joe’s. Anyways, I had a CD thrust into my unsuspecting hands at Holy Joe’s after their set, and I must say it was exciting enough to write about whether or not it’s a full EP or not. Which I don’t think this is. Well it could be, but when it’s written up to be a Promotional CD I’m no longer sure.

Who’s Army describes themselves as Alternative, Indie and Rock. Again, I’m never sure what “Indie”’s classification is so I will leave that fairly well alone. However I will agree with Alternative and Rock, because it’s enough of what I would definately call Rock. It’s pretty powerful, and keeps your attention. I’m noticing a lot of alternative, or rock bands the vocals are a lot of non-singing, either what is more spoken with little melody, or lots of screaming with no melody. I enjoy singing with my music. And the person who does vocals? Great voice.

Not a *whole* lot of songs on here, and one song has a part 1 and a part 2, but I don’t mind. The entire set-up of this CD is really cool actually. The first song is the… loudest, hardest and fastest, and they progressively slow down. I really like it. Shows the band can do a lot of different things, instead of lots of bands I’ve seen/heard who do the exact same thing over and over. I like variety in my music.

This CD would be the perfect 15 minute party CD.
That is if anyone really ever has a 15 minute party. It just winds down really nicely. I could see it driving from the gym to the yoga studio. Because I’m all amped up from the gym, and I’ll be all calm by the time I hit the yoga studio. Or actually, a 15 minute cardio work out. And I’d be cooling down by the last song getting ready to get off whatever machine I’m on, so it would make a great warm-up CD at the gym.
