 The AgencyTurn Release Date 2007 02 06 Label Perch Records Rating:  Featuring members of Seville and Dashboard Confessional, the Agency don't stray too far from the emo-tinged, power punk pop/rock that the aforementioned bands are known for. At least that's the first impression the listener gets. A song like the opening &"Walking Disaster" is strong and brimming with catchy riffs, but it's not exactly a memorable or jaw-dropping song. Led by the tandem of Mike Marsh and Chris Drueke, the group falls somewhere in between bands like My Chemical Romance and Taking Back Sunday. However, &"Found" shows a lighter, more melodic arrangement that doesn't quite work as well. This is refined with much better results during the angular, dance-rock ditty &"I'm Innocent" which is closely similar in parts to ¡Forward Russia!. This is returned to somewhat during the pretty &"Mary Mourn" which could have been picked from XTC singer Andy Partridge's pocket. However, the band seems to truly hit their stride with the radio-friendly and extremely tight &"Picture" that has the huge, dramatic chorus to boot. Perhaps the sleeper pick on Turn is a very decent pop song titled &"Chasing" that has a great melody and just as fine guitar work. The Agency takes things down a few notches with the piano-fueled &"Clean Water" that sounds like a distant cousin of Tears for Fears. Jason MacNeil, Rovi |
