Not To Be Missed!
Its hard to believe, on hearing Marty Casey & Lovehammers, that Marty
Casey is the Bo Bice of Rock Star: INXS--that is, the guy who didnt win,
but put his chops on display so fiercely night after night that he deserved a
cushy consolation prize. So steeped are Casey and his backing players in
pushing the surly, hard-charging agenda of modern rock that they come
across as Nickelbacks likable kid brothers--a fully realized band too
farsighted to get sucked into a cred-shattering TV show. Where that leaves
this disc is in a strange place: fans of Lovehammers, the band Marty
Casey fronted before putting his name out front seemed a smart publicity
move, will love the bulk of these 11 songs, especially the pained and
furious Clinic and the hot-headed The Tunnel. Fans of the show, on the
other hand--pleased as theyll be with the infectiousness of Trees and The
Riddle, both of which creep in a vaguely Kelly Clarkson-ish direction--will
wish Casey could find another vehicle for exploring his versatility. -Tammy

Personal Review: Marty Casey & Lovehammers by Marty Casey
& Lovehammers
I liked this CD the very first time I listened to it, which is unusual for me. If
you liked Marty Casey from the TV show INXS, you will really enjoy this
CD, which shows his many sides. Trees and Clouds are on the more
serene side, while The Tunnel brings you the "real" Marty Casey and gives
you an idea what he can really do with an unusual song. I am only hoping
he will continue with his music and give us more to listen to.
