This California quintet swims in the Smithereens end of the pool, with hard-charging songs that keep the melodic quotient high. The band\u2019s rockabilly character is kept hidden on the winning opener \u201cIt\u2019s for Fun (That\u2019s All We\u2019re Living For),\u201d but stick around and you\u2019ll find it in ample supply.<\/p>\n<p>And the band\u2019s garage-rock bonafides are stellar as well, thanks to the participation of The Standells\u2019 Tony Valentino. The song itself is a bit ordinary, and Valentino\u2019s participation is, um, odd, but it\u2019s nonstop fun. And that dissonant guitar break is a welcome surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the songs \u201cWe\u2019re Going to Las Vegas,\u201d \u201cGo Little GTO\u201d) veer into overly-derivative territory, but adjust your expectations only slightly and they\u2019re still quite enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>The production aesthetic is spot-on here: no reverb, no production filigrees. The overall vibe suggests that were you to hear these guys play live, it\u2019d sound just like this, only A. Lot. Louder. My guess is that as enjoyable as The Forty Nineteens are on disc, they\u2019re probably best experienced live on stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re in the mood for unassuming, rocking, silly and un-self-conscious rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, The Forty Nineteens might have just the thing for you.
