Music Review: Driftless Pony Club: Expert

Driftless Pony Club is a small indie rock band from Chicago consisting of: lead singer and guitar: Craig Benzine, guitar and keyboard: Matt Weber, bass: Sam Grant, and drums: Nate Bartley. Craig Benzine is also known as the popular YouTube personality wheezywaiter and the channel follows the band as they go on tours and sometimes a music video or two is put on.

 According to iTunes, Expert is Driftless Pony Club’s most popular EP.   It starts off with the most popular of the songs: Legends of Archery (the EP title comes from one of the lines in this song) which I have to admit is my favorite. That song flows into Pluto Vs Neptune which seems like a comedic title because it is but, when listening to the song there can be many serious interpretations to the lyrics. After that is Imaginary Blood which, although good, is my least favorite. Next up is Bike and this intensely fast paced song is one of my favorites. And Thanks, Earthquake is the next song which is also one of my favorites and like Pluto Vs Neptune despite the comedic title the lyrics make you think: what is this song really about; this is the one that gets stuck in my head. And finally Maps of Low Fidelity which really leaves you wanting to listen to the EP over and over again. I highly recommend this 2009 EP: Expert by Driftless Pony Club.
