Buzzworthy??? Or Not???

Who: Saint Bernadette
Location: Bridgeport, CT

Thoughts: I'm listening to Saint Bernadette, but I'm not hearing much of anything. Musically this is very strong, 60's-like vocal melodies, mesh with turn of the century alternative, but lyrically there isn't much beneath the surface and with an act that relies heavily on vocals the lyrics are vital. According to the press blurb on the CD I Wanna Tell You Something "pays homage to an illusory, impossible love affair", but to me it sounds like it's a retread on topics that have been poured over for decades already. It's almost like the songs are just Magnetic Poetry set to some fairly rocking music. But after a few listens even the strength of the music evaporates and begins to sound like a derivative of countless other acts.
Verdict: Not Buzzworthy!!!
Listen: Saint Bernadette - "Love is a Stranger"
Saint Bernadette - "Hard to Believe"
