I did an aural double-take the first time I heard the tracks off San Francisco-based Callow’s self-titled EP because the vocals were so intensely committed to a certain style that you don’t hear attempted often these days in pop music. A gravelly, high-pitched delivery you hear sometimes in that nebulous region between hard rock, heavy blues, and hair metal. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it proposition, and I found myself really digging it after several listens, so give it a spin.

The self-titled EP from Callow is four tracks of slow, white-knuckle intense, rock balladeering commanded by a one of the most ennervating rock vocals I’ve heard since Shoney Lamar. Download the album for free at Bandcamp and soak it in. Space the My here, Book the Face here, and stream some tracks below. Cheers!
