PACIFICTION REVIEW:

DOING LIFE’s first recording attempt is a rough but determined trial run that gives us a glimpse at their roots. "Tommy Got His Gun," a nifty nod to THE CLASH, remains staple for the group while the biting guitars on "Whisky River" establish their definitive sound. The punked up ditty "No Time" is a MEGA CITY FOUR cover and "Bright Lights, Big City" is a catchy rock 'n' roll tune that will get you on your feet. Not only does this album serve as a great intro to DOING LIFE, it is also an enhanced CD that brings up a menu for live footage, interview, photo album and more when you pop it into your computer!
