Smith Point - "All In All"
(Independent, 2003) * * *
This seven-song EP from Northern California four-piece Smith Point is something fans of Phantom Planet and The Calling will love. Blending a competent indie rock sound with radio-friendly lyrics, "All In All" is a quick sample of what is certain to eventually send this band to alt pop stardom. Is it formulaic? Sure. But this is one of those cases where the band plays conventional alt pop that just comes out sounding like so much more. This is for everyone who can't get Phantom Planet's "California" out of their head … and don't find a damned thing wrong with singing along.
