Review - The Passenger - A Dog Named Bear

    A Dog Named Bear is the latest release from the Orlando, Florida based band The Passenger. Describing a band's sound is always a hard thing to do when they have their own style, but for reference purposes just mix some Green Day, Weezer, Oasis, and The Barenaked Ladies together with a splash of originality and you might be somewhere close.

    The seven track album starts off with the upbeat track "Pile Of Bones". This is sure to be a favorite off the album as well as a crowd pleaser at live shows due to its high energy nature. Things slow down a bit on "Down and Out", but it gives the band
a chance to showcase their songwriting ability. This song is full of great lines that will stick in your head long after it's over.

    The album features plenty of variety with songs like "Gift Horse" and the current state of rock hating song "Killer Fashion". Overall it's a solid release with plenty of catchy songs to hold your interest and encourage repeat listens. A nice blend of old school grunge with good instrumentals make this worthy of checking out. Catch up with The Passenger on Facebook and check out the lyric video below for "Pile Of Bones".
