Review: The American Professionals "The Specialist"

Band lead by singer/guitarist Chuck Lindo, guitar player Mike Corcoran, drummer Steve Moriarty and bass player Cheryl Hendrickson produce
an EP full of large loud guitars and catchy melodies that are sure to please any fan of power pop. This release rocks a lot harder than "Faking It", which was
kinda lame in this humble listener's opinion. This EP is a very welcomed change. The fast pace kinda reminds me a little bit of Paul Cook and Steve Jones' post Sex Pistols band The Professionals....just a bit.

No two tracks are similar and the harmonies are just right. "Jump This Train" has a bouncy beat unlike anything else on the EP although
the title track, The Specialist, is exceptional. Probably my fave on the EP is "Down Low", a reminder that it can always get worse.
This EP will leave you wanting for the full length (which is hopefully in the works).

Check these guys out or buy there EP at CdBaby.
