	Reviewed by: Jan-Mikael Erakare, January 2006 Evaluation: City Weezle's eponymous EP is an exercise in musical schizophrenia … blending funk, rock, and a jam-band ethos with a humorous lyrical viewpoint into a unique sound… Analysis: City Weezle have blended their influences into a surprisingly cohesive sound. The musicianship is excellent, and the songs are well crafted … no surprises in structure or form to be found, but the acerbic lyrics ("Vampire Boy" in particular stands out) and the combination of soulfully gritty clean vocals with deathly rasps adds a snidely humorous touch to City Weezle. The instrumentation and sound from song to song is almost identical, resulting in a one dimensional sound … for a demo though the production is quite clean and professional. Rating: 3.5-/5 (the minus is for the brevity of the disc…4 songs are too few to adequately review…) Summary: City Weezle are capable musicians, and if they add to their palette of sounds and continue to deliver blackly humorous lyrics, they will find a niche for themselves… More about City Weezle: Track Listing: City Weezle / Vampire Boy / Storm / Way Out West Musicians: Simon Fleury - vocals, guitar Sylvain (Cloux) Ducloux - guitar Eric Carrère - drums Maxim (Max) Gibson - bass Contact: Website: cityweezle.free.fr Note: will open new browser window Discography City Weezle (2005)
