Maybe I’m just in a bad mood or something, but I feel yet another scathing review coming on. Fallen Penny‘s website asks the question ‘What happens when two contrary english guys form a band with two outgoing german guys?’ My answer is ‘the epitome of bland’. This quartet sound like a mix of Semisonic and The Dave Matthews Band, which, let’s face it, isn’t the most apetising of concoctions. I mean Fallen Penny aren’t bad by any stretch of the imagination, hence the average score, they’re just safe, bland and dull. They don’t take any risks, merely plodding out 12 mid-tempo songs that sound a bit weak. I dunno, maybe it’s me but there just feels like a big something missing. Answers on a postcard…
