daho: “Drive It” (Virgin/Quigley Records)

Melodic, buzzy, fuzzy melancholic and mournful grunge-slacker rock which drifts, inexorably it seems, ever onwards towards the abyss-like heartlands of America. Some exciting guitar playing and chord changes accompany ‘Drive It’ on its journey, though whether it has that essential vitality necessary to distinguish it from other traffickers of the same stylistic highways and byways

remains open to question. Nevertheless, an interesting trip.
