As far as some bands go, there are those that are good and those that are really good. Fair, falls into the latter category without even trying.
Fair is kind of a brainchild of Aaron Sprinkle formally of Poor Old Lu. I say kind of since I’m sure he didn’t just grab a bunch of musicians to back him. If you are familar with Aaron Sprinkle’s solo work (and if you’re not, shame on you) then the overall Fair sound should not come as too much of a shock to your system. What will come as a shock is that you remember that this man’s lyrics rock over anything. While his solo work is more acoustic based, Fair is solid rock and roll. And Aaron’s simple lyrics work wonders over the melodic music that backs him. The guitar work is solid and the drums above average. Everything here keeps your attention from the get go and doesn’t let go until long after the song is done playing.
I’ve heard it said that the two things you can’t hide are melody and a good song. Fair has both of these and more. So get to your local Christian bookstore and if they don’t have it, order directly from the band or iTunes. Either way you’re not to be disappointed while you wait for more to come from Fair.
