Public Eye is what happens when members of Portland’s Autistic Youth switch instruments and decide to start a new band. The band’s demo, “Mood Change Party”, comes with five songs that reek of post-punk with a bit of kraut-y demeanor. If that makes you think of Spacemen 3 or Ceremony, then you’re actually not too far off the mark.

While tracks like “The Hours” and “Soft Strain” won’t exactly put a smile on your face, Public Eye throws in enough melody to make things a little less bleak and manage to only lose me once during the title track. There’s definitely something there, they just need to spend some more time cultivating it.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
