Wild Sweet Orange: We Have Cause to Be Uneasy

Wild Sweet Orange showed a lot of promise with their The Whale EP in 2007. Their full length We Have Cause to Be Uneasy lives up to the expectations. The band have drifted into Americana without losing their college rock attitude. It took them a couple of years with a busy touring schedule to get them were they are today: a solid band with a singer who is not afraid to get personal in his lyrics. Listen closely when you are playing this for your friends, sharing a nice supply of six-packs.

HCTF review of The Whale EP.

Wild Sweet Orange: The Whale EP

Anything good coming out of Birmingham, Alabama? If you are familiar with the Randy Newman song you might think that this is city filled with backward rednecks, but the gene pool has been expanded and Wild Sweet Orange is one of those bands that can break out of the mold. The five songs on The Whale EP serve as the forerunner for a full length next year.

Wild Sweet Orange could be easily mistaken for an Athens band. Yup, it's college rock with a jumpy back beat that starts and stops every now and then.

The Whale EP is released on Canvasback Music.

Tracks:

1. Wrestle with God
2. Tilt (Acoustic)
3. Be Careful (What You Want)
4. Land of No Return
5. I'm Coming Home
