When one of the notes I received with this track was that one of the similar artists was one of my personal favorites (The Strokes) I was pretty floored, yet hesitant. A Strokes clone? C’mon, what is this, 2005?
Well, The Coordinators are certainly not a Strokes clone but I can hear the inspiration and “Enough About Me” is a certified buffaBLOG banger. A duo based out of Philly, The Coordinators (Robert Pino and Tim W. Smith), had this track mastered at some place called Abbey Road Studios and the extra polish shows. The guitars are layered *just so* but that isn’t to take away from the hard work the band obviously put in; as a buddy in the business so aptly put: “You can’t make crap sound good.”
Funky bass and synth… riffs? parts? (not sure what to call it) fill out the rest quite nicely. Fans of the aforementioned Strokes and Arctic Monkeys would find a lot to enjoy here not just for the similarities but some of the risks an up and coming band is willing to take. You can hear “Enough About Me” on Spotify or down below embedded from their Bandcamp.
