All in Good Time by Blues Lawyer

“Bathing in the Sunday sun
Unburdened by the damage done
Suddenly I see your face
Looking slightly out of place
Could it be elusive Eden?”

Is this the least dark entry in the catalog of Dark Entries Records? At least sonically, it might be. But we can’t complain, given that All in Good Time by Blues Lawyer bridges one of the city’s best and most consistent record labels to one of Oakland’s most tweetastic bands around. Citing 90s alternative rockers like Lemonheads and Teenage Fanclub as influences—I’m hearing the Vaselines—songwriters Rob I. Miller and Elyse Schrock effortlessly exchange mellifluous lead vocals over pop punk riffs that just keep on coming, catchy and catchy every time. Since forming in 2017, the band has evolved in more ways than one, so it’s fitting that the newest album finds its muse in the passage of time, and our relationship to its passing.

Rob I. Miller and Ellen Matthews of Blues Lawyer will be joining White Crate on Lower Grand Radio on Thursday, March 2 at 8:30 PM PT. Stay tuned for more info!

See Blues Lawyer play their album release show with the Umbrellas and Hits on Saturday, March 18 at Thee Stork Club.
