I haven’t had the chance to see Churchyard yet but have heard good things; so I was excited to finally see some songs posted. The pop-driven four track demo is an eclectic mix of sounds, ranging from the happy-go-lucky “Pumpin’ Gas in the Rain” to the eerie, surf-rock “Desert.” As diverse as this demo is, Churchyard quickly establishes their own identity with their glossy harmonies and polished vocals, but if it wasn’t for the fluid, distinct singing, I’m not sure that I could pick these songs out from other “diet-punk” acts around town. -Michael Perry
