Too Much Guitar

Memphis-based rockers crank out their third full-to-bursting LP of jarring garage-rock that transcends the genre through its deep knowledge of local and national pop and soul.

Greg Cartwright sums up his approach on the third album from the Reigning Sound with the title, Too Much Guitar -- here, Cartwright moves the old-school soul influences that were in the forefront on Break Up Break Down and Time Bomb High School to the back burner in favor of a hip-shakin' set of loud and primal guitar-based rock & roll.
