"Christie Front Drive was an alternative rock/2nd wave emo band formed in Denver in 1993. Citing as influences Superchunk, Sunny Day Real Estate, Buffalo Tom and Drive Like Jehu, the lineup consisted of Ron Marschall (drums), Jason Begin (guitar), Kerry McDonald (bass) and Eric Richter (guitar and vocals)."
Anthology is a collection of Christie Front Drive's earliest material - their first 12" and 7" releases. Despite lacking much variation (once you've heard one song you'll know the format for the ones that follow) Christie Front Drive have one trick that repeatedly works well. Their music has a cathartic and nostalgic feel to it, invoking an emotional response you can't quite put your finger on. Overall, it's an engaging listen which will stir the senses even if the formula for each song starts to wear a little thin by the end. 3.5/5
