Rising from the Manhattan club scene that gave birth to the Strokes and the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, White Light Motorcade embraces the same `60s garage and '70s punk ethos worshipped by those bands. While they obviously took part of their name from a Velvet Underground classic ("My Way" kicks off an awful lot like one of Lou Reed's earliest tunes, or at least a Strokes track), White Light Motorcade seem less the one-trick pony many of their peers. There's an almost U2-worthy anthemic quality to a great many of the 12 tracks on the band's debut. The boys also borrow heavily from '70s glam-rock and '90s Britpop, making their sound all that more palatable and complex. "Open Your Eyes," the opening track, wouldn't sound out at all of place on Oasis's earlier albums. And the terrific "It's Happening," after beginning a lot like the Vines' "Get Free," is centered by Mark Lewis's melodic guitar hook, producing a sound that Supergrass would be absolutely thrilled to reproduce. The band doesn't quite hit a home run when they take on two ballads, but when they rock, which is most of the time, this is about as good as post-millennium rock gets. <I>--Bill Holdship</I>

5 out of 5 stars rock'nRoll returns.......2004-09-01

about a year ago i happen to be attending a show in atlanta to see a band called Breakheart Beat. they opened up for White Light Motorcade whom at the time i had not heard of. as soon as they walked onto stage i know they had something special. the bass player played this little ryth that sounded like a f'in helicopter was comin down on us and i swear i really thought it for a second. but god it was more then that. they started and i knew these guys could save music. rock'n roll has returned with bands like these guys, white stripes, kings of leon, and the strokes. i promise this record will not let you down. if you like rock and enjoy rock'nRoll then buy this. it deserves 10 out of 5!

5 out of 5 stars Open your eyes.......2004-06-28

WLM is a GREAT band~ would definitely recommend the CD

5 out of 5 stars The best band you never heard of........2004-05-14

I hadn't heard of these guys until by sheer coincidence they happened to be opening for another band I went to see. In the space of the 45 minutes that they played, they not only won me over but also the entire crowd. Everyone there obviously had no idea who they were when they first got on stage, but were blown away by time they got off. Pure attitude and energy.

I picked up their EP "It's Happening" at the show that night, and bought this CD as soon as it was released. (Sorry, I'm just getting around to writing this now.) It did not disappoint. These guys just exhude attitude, grit, and plain ol' balls out rock and roll. They have all the attitude of the current garage movement and more, but display it with more energy than any of the other ones I've heard. Better than the Strokes, White Stripes, Vines, all of them.

4 out of 5 stars alittle more work n they'd be amazing.......2003-07-22

After my first quick listen I didn't think I really liked this album. But after listening to the songs a second time they began to grow on me. The band shows alot of resemblance to Rooney, who i think are a great rock band. They are slightly heavier though, and i think thats good.. if you are looking for a record that has everything from melody and great vocals to garage rock power chords then this is for you.... if your gonna be technical and look for complicated solos n such, then go for sometyhing else, possibly Rooney.
