Them Fantasies serve a rich blend of styles in debut record “Caffeine Queen”

Spiffed up and ready to take on the world are Boston’s Them Fantasies, a well-polished group with a brand spanking new debut record. The band’s Caffeine Queen is an alt-rock treat with an unquestionable aroma of jazz and hints of pop. "Hook-Up Culture" amps up the groove factor with a slithery-entrancing bassline while "Melatonin" lets the guitar solos and anthemic choruses fly for a double shot of alt-rock goodness. In "Acid Anna," the band shines as the jazz influences take over and provide comforting escapism from reality. From the speedy "Plastic Heart" to the reggae-soaked "Them Fantasies," it all comes together sumptuously. Having returned from an East Coast tour, Them Fantasies are sure to let the album’s steam propel them to the next set of gigs.
