And I’m no lazy journo either – forget the comparisons to Dashboard Confessional because the only similarities are men playing acoustic guitars. Notice I said ’emotional’ and not ’emo’ – let’s not tarnish Mr Rocky with any kind of fad or fashionable trend. The result is ‘Suicide Medicine’ a record that is warm, tender and emotional. Rocky is probably best known for his work in Seattle band Waxwing, but opted to go down the solo route after his brother went full-time in a band called The Blood Brothers. It’s wrought with emotion, full of extremely clever songwriting and features a man that will surely go on to forge a highly successful career for himself. Rocky Votolato is a real talent and ‘Suicide Medicine’ is a really, really great record. But when a record is as good as this, no matter how late we are giving our thoughts, it’s imperative we give them. We’re so up-to-date here at Punktastic than we’re only at least 18 months late in reviewing this record.
