来自加拿大的英式乐队，RedUmbrella，海滩伞。名字很有意思，很有趣。首张专辑《WishingForBoardwalk》很不错。新乐团，音乐风格全部受到英伦的影响，才出道，又来拿来与Coldplay一起谈论。当然主唱JeremyMichaelis并没有ChrisMartin那样细腻。这个乐团新到什么程度，音乐风格居然会受到Keane的影响，够新吧。而他们对英伦的运用也很理性，有很多英伦大牌的影子。细听的话，有些歌曲还颇有些熟悉的感觉。像我选取试听StraightJacket，你会想到那个英伦乐队的风格呢？(Beatles，Coldplay，Oasis，Travis，Keane，Radiohead)选一选。专辑共13首歌曲，开篇的StormWarning到让我觉得像是美国Train的风格。专辑中也有些流行摇滚，如AlreadyWon，Slide。有些民谣风格的算是TradeYourDreams，更独立些的是SavingGrace。专辑的结尾同样是一首7分多的歌曲Tonight(WasMeantforaReason)，俩首合并。Elevator体现则是英国的传统摇滚，像是英国入侵类的歌曲。很上耳。你会从Run的开始看到Oasis那样的气势。专辑的多样化还算可以。：With'90spowerpopinfluencesintow,CanadianrockersRedUmbrellahaveconcoctedawinningformulaofcrunchynewwavesplendor.FansofthePosies,Semisonic,andFountainsofWaynenowhaveareasontoliveagain,thankstothedelightfulmelodicpoponWishingforBoardwalk.TheboyshavebeencomparedtoColdplay,butalltheBritpopsoundalikesintheuniversecouldnotmusterthepeppyconfidencethatleadvocalist/guitaristJeremyMichaelisevokeswitheachnote.Forinstance,thehookfilled"Home"soundslikeitcouldhavebeenliftedstraightfromOasis'hitcollectionStoptheClocks,completewithapianohookbiggerthanNoelGallagher'sego.Butratherthansportarevivalistsound,RedUmbrellacomeoffwithatriumphantlynewsonicmixthatputstheminthesameballparkastheKillers.Crunchyguitarsleadthefirstsingle,"Straitjacket"anopenendedqueryastothemeaningoflife.Otherwinningtracksinclude"Run,""WhatAboutMe?,"and"Slide."ThegrungypowerpopoflatecareerPosiesmakesBoardwalkacharmingeffortthroughandthrough.ParticularlyheardduringtheiTuneserawhenagenerationoflistenerscanpickandchoosesinglesongswithouteverreallydigestingafullalbum'sworthofmusicfromthesameartist,Boardwalkisanachievementofconsistent—andsometimesevenbrilliant—rock&roll.
