On "Evermore," Julia Albert's sassy vocal quickly becomes the focal point, soaring over the lazy-but-funky rhythmic section and gritty rhythm guitar that opens the tune. Over the sparse verse, Albert takes over, using her voice to push the tune into the chorus. You'll be reminded of melodic '80s rock, à la 'Til Tuesday -- only with more attitude. On other tunes, the band pares itself down for acoustic-based songs that feature Albert sharing vocal chores with singer/guitarist Roger LaPlant.

Maxfield Rabbit doesn't cater to trends, so don't expect to hear any hip-hop drum loops, samples or trendy production tricks. But download "Evermore" and you will hear rock 'n' roll, the way the good lord intended it.
