Something must be said of a guitar’s captivating grip that only comes with the courtesy of electric riffs. Played loudly enough and with the intention to inspire, it can be quite riveting. The Louisiana-based Seratones do just that with their opening track, “Choking On Your Spit.” Initially, I would take this invitation doused in soulful rock n’ roll as an excuse to shimmy and shimmy. Unfortunately, even with their abundance of talent, the Seratones might best be heard on the stage or via select radio play. It is with no doubt that passion rules the Seratones’ style and live performances. However, listening to this record from start to finish, through countless cycles, does not produce the devotion one would hope to have for such a band.
