Released this month to rave reviews and already being heralded as a modern classic, All in Good Time by Blues Lawyer marks the arrival of one of Oakland’s most tweetastic bands on one of the city’s best and most consistent record labels, Dark entries. 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.
Hear Rob and Ellen of Blues Lawyer perform live on Lower Grand Radio at 8:30 PM PT on Thursday, March 2.
