"All Things Small Produce a Spark," The Westside
Daredevils (Lynn Point)
Some of the best bands rely on a chemistry
between songwriters. That's the best reason to keep an
eye on Knoxville's Westside Daredevils. Featuring lead
songwriters Brett Cassidy and Jeff Caudill, the Westside
Daredevils have produced a fine debut with "All Small
Things Produce a Spark."
Cassidy's British Invasion-ish "London Forces" sides
up against Caudill's "Miner's Shortwave," a moody number
that could've been created for Wilco's "Yankee Hotel
Foxtrot." Elsewhere the band churns out some lovable
rock and pop that leaves you hoping that the Daredevils
continue the artistic collaboration and create even
better work.
Keep an ear out. Grade: B
