The East Coast Romper

by: Stephanie Stevens

MARI ZEN-FIELD
These Chicago based rockers have elements of power pop and bar band rock with easy to feel grooves lead by a female singer who's octaves dance in between Pat Benatar and Ann or Nancy Wilson of HEART fame. Their no frills approach serves as a template for rock and roll that is plain and somewhat bland but not deficient in the enjoyment category. A few of the tracks have serious commercial appeal like "Field" and "All I can Give" but they didn't and probably won't break the mold with the entire effort. The saving grace of the album will be found in the lyrical development that was heartfelt and honest without sounding cliché or too syrupy. This CD would no doubt allure fans of good times rock and roll with a passionate foundation. It won't knock your socks off but it will keep them on when you want to feel warm and cozy.
