Monday mornings? Don't you just love them? Here's the latest in a long line of American independent rock bands who have signed a deal with a Nashville-based company and unleashed a "debut" album. Unfortunately Monday Morning follow in the footsteps of bands like Radialangel and Stereo Motion in creating an album which fizzes loudly but never really explodes into anything memorable. Everything is in place as you'd expect. The big guitars, great vocals and expert production of a label release but none of the songs sound like anything you haven't heard already a hundred times. This is a Monday Morning where you want to pull the duvet back over your head rather than a Monday Morning that makes you leap out of bed.
