Buffalo-based rock group Timothy Alice & The Dead Star Band released their sophomore record, Used Cars, on November 3. The 8-track album is a follow up to their 2019 debut release, Spacestation AM500.
Timothy Alice & The Dead Star Band formed in 2018 in Buffalo, with a collaboration of longtime friends. The band consists of Timothy Patrick Henderson, Matt DiStasio (drums), and Bub Crumlish on bass.
The first track on Used Cars, a title track, is a strong start to the record. With resonant guitars, crooning vocals, and a tempo that urges the listener to sway back and forth, “Used Cars” is a easy yet captivating first track on the group’s sophomore album
The fifth track on the record, “North of the Border,” stands out energetically against the rest of the record. This song picks up the pace significantly, and shapes a tangible story throughout the track. The only drawback is the shorter run time of only 2:18, as it is certainly a notable favorite on the album.
“Winning Number,” the sixth track on Used Cars, slows back down just slightly, but not to any disadvantage. “Winning Number” evokes more personality from the vocal intonations, with Henderson’s speak-singing throughout the verses. The track has a captivating outro sequence of guitars and other indecipherable instruments, reminiscent of U2’s “Bad.”
Used Cars is the sophomore album from Timothy Alice & The Dead Star Band, available on all streaming platforms on November 3. Timothy Alice & The Dead Star Band is Timothy Patrick Henderson, Matt DiStasio, and Bub Crumlish.
