Now for something a little bit more mainstream then the stuff we usually review here. Maine’s Rocktopus have been mentioned more then once in the same breath as Barenaked Ladies and from my perspective I think this is a little bit unfair to Rocktopus. Sure they draw from the same well of inspiration as BNL (The Beatles and Beach Boys) but infuses much more of a rock energy giving Rocktopus a sound full of youthful vigor and an Oomph to their music that BNL never had.
