Album Review: PAPA - Tender Madness

There's a pop sensibility and sentimentality weaving throughout Tender Madness's 12 tracks that makes it the ideal summertime soundtrack for those whose tastes lean towards the commerciality of Kings Of Leon or The Killers. The vocals of Darren Weiss (who doubles as drummer) actually smacks a little of Brandon Flowers, with a fragile mid range timbre that sounds on the verge of breaking at any given time. Put Me To Work sets the grandiose tone for an album with tracks that flow from pop-infused rock (Young Rut) to introspective ballad (If The Moon Rises) without skipping a beat.
