The guys in Vs. Antelope aren’t exactly new to the scene, having previously spent time in outfits such as Jets To Brazil, Texas Is The Reason, J. Majesty and Big Collapse among others. Having been around in the music scene for so long can make a grown man tired. After all, rocking out is hard work. It would explain why Vs. Antelope’s debut full-length is kinda boring.

The guitars are buzzing along nicely enough though with a Dinosaur Jr vibe, the rhytm section is laidback and it all sounds okay thanks to producer Ian Love. But the vocals are unimpressive and you’d be hard-pressed to find a memorable hook on the album. It all just floats by without leaving much of an impression. And frankly, that just isn’t good enough.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
