This is an incredible CD. It's rare to find such original music and
complexity of sound on a debut release. "Pet Your Friends" is
definitely one of the pleasant surprises of 1996. Dishwalla combines
powerful harmonic vocals (at times Pearl Jam-esque), driving rythms,
and new-formed layers of guitar and synth into a highly acclaimed CD
and a cult following. Best tracks include "Haze" (alluring,
inventive), "Give" (simply the the most diverse track on the CD), and
"Moisture" (driving). They are really starting toget a lot of
"alternative" rock airplay (ironic, that in playing Dishwalla, the
radio stations are actually living up to their "alternative" label), so
it's likely that you've heard this band. No matter what, it's time to
get more familiar with a band that's bound to be around for a long time
to come.
