This is a clearly a manufactured creation stitched together from the body of a Kink, the legs of a Hollie and the head of a Beatle, but it’s also classy 60s-saturated power pop. The Millwaukee trio were formed in ‘96 not ‘66 but they’ve got a fine line in Brit-invasion tunes. It might be familiar-sounding stuff but it’s still bright, harmonic and very likeable. Vocalist Mike Jarvis has a warm-sounding voice reminiscent of Alasdair MacLean from the Clientele and there are some nice harmonies from his two bandmates. ‘Dance With Me’ sounds like a male version of the Bangles while janglesome ‘Summer Rain’ could easily fit onto a tweecore playlist. In fact the songs from Cathedral Square Park wouldn’t be out of place on a Beatles/ Badfinger/ Big Star, etc power pop classic compilation.
