Any band that starts off an album with backwards guitars and does it well has got my attention. Huddle consists of Nick Dean on guitar and backing vocals, Bryon Rossi on bass, keys, lead and backing vocals and kazoo, Danny Rossi on drums and percussion and Nolan Rossi on lead and backing vocals, guitars, harmonica and kazoo. This Michigan based group has a pleasant mid-western rock feel to the album that carries the listener along on a wave of good tunes. Since the group seems to be largely a family ensemble, I can only hope that they stick around to put out a second, third and fourth album. Maybe in a year or two we'll be seeing them on the main stage at Cornerstone. Check out their web site at www.inthehuddle.net.
