Combining
late-’70s New York energy with ’90s Brit-Pop drama, Waterloo ON’s Death
Party Playground make serious rock ‘n roll. Fronted by
singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kyle Taylor, DPP’s
full-length debut album Little Joy finds Taylor’s visionary
power pop coalescing around a true group effort for the first time, with
bassist Dylan Bravener and drummer Sam Kargus providing the rhythmic
backbone. Songs like “Love & Fidelity” and “Rubber Man” literally
jump out of the speakers, displaying Taylor’s undeniable lyrical and
melodic skills.
