are you Bray's sock puppet?
the dude let Google right his article, I'd bet money on.
Why? He mentions NO SONGS by name and the Beatles comparison applies to maybe the 1st song. (VT has a blog and he refers to"Badfinger" on that one)
Just check out "Permanent Plan "B" and tell me if you here the B's or the Eels(!?) by the way...WTF
VT may be unknown but that's no reason to phone in a review of someone this good.
masterpiece is a pretty strong word...but i'll tell ya..."Deep Blue" & its sister shuffler "the Suburbs" are pretty awesome.....now go check out "Dead End Street" by the Kinks.
"Bray" is an apt name for such an asinine review.
I don't know what prism Bray passed VT's music through (Dokken? Pussy Galore? The Eels??) but it's like reading a 50 Cent review of Travis Tritt.
The whole point of Vaughn Trapp is defiance of genre in deference to the SONG.
There are approximately TWO songs on "Songs Of The Great Depression" that reference the Beatles or (Badfinger as the case may be) the rest are exercises in Songwriting with a capital "S" that range from goth-country, 70's biker rock to neo-Folk!
Why do I have the feeling mr. Bray ripped through 10 reviews in one sitting? It seems he checked out the first track, googled for 2 minutes and extrapolated this waste of space review. "sub-Beatles pop-rock which sounds a bit like Eels"....Roll over Lester Bangs!
It's a shame musicians of Mr Trapp's caliber have to put up with lazy music "journalism" like Bray's.
