The Sights

The Sights (Eddie Baranek - Guitar / Vocals), Robert Emmett - Piano/Bass and new drummer Mike Trombley) release their brand new self titled third album on Sweet Nothing and promises to be a superb slice of pop music that stomps and swaggers with a real style and could easily be likened to Nazz/Todd Rundgren and badfinger or material from the classic Nuggets box set, all with a modern twist.

While singer/guitarist Eddie remains the only original member of the Sights, it doesn't seem to stop them from establishing a strong, identifiable wallop of songwriting, stage presence and well rounded comfort that seems so rare in a rock and roll band these day. With their self titled third album, the Sights will be a force to be reckoned with. The addition of Robert Emmet on Piano (think Terry Reid not Ray Manzarek !) and hammond organ gives the band a colour-splattering spectrum to draw from, and don't forget Jim Diamond (Andre Williams) at the production helm, he makes what could have been just another sloppy lo-fi garage wankfest into the poptatstic promised land the likes of which Mickey Most and Joe meek have been proud of.
