It’s common to say that maturity comes late in a band’s life and that evolution goes with the experience a band gained through the years, or with a new peception of life linked to each band member’s nth divorce. It also sometimes comes with a clear spring water vision after rehab…
Considering the age of The ADJUSTERS members, I doubt that one of those things contributed to this new single orientation, so I can just deduce that this band has this little something that makes the difference.
I’m not talking about a total change but our young British guys obviously have slowed down the cadence and put their efforts on the melody in these two new songs.
Following the example of some of RANCID’s songs, “Wrong Place, Wrong Time” (I can’t get enough of this one!) easily could have been featured on between “Death Or Glory” and “Kola Kola” whereas “You Gotta Say” and its piano, backing vocals and Stones-ish guitars would deserve more than being a B-Side that is all but filling.
There can be no mistake about it, The ADJUSTERS didn’t sell their soul in order to get the first position in the charts, they just let their precocious talent express itself and they just stay who they are in the end.
