The problem with Gomez, the British band with the Spanish name, has always been identity. They have been labeled by critics since their inception as a blues band, even though they are about as much about the blues as Beyonce is about metal. They’ve never quite hit it big on either side of the Atlantic, despite being heaped with acclaim on both sides. And they are blessed with three lead singers, although one of them (Ben Ottewell) sounds so different from the other two that he almost sounds out of place. Despite these obstacles, Gomez has soldiered on, showing that they do indeed have the stuff it takes, and that they have the ability to pull some great songs out of their collective hats. Bring It On is their debut album, and despite winning the 1998 Mercury Music Prize for best new album over a collection of much bigger discs, it remains something of an unknown entity.

The strength of Bring It On is in a trio of excellent songs. “78 Stone Wobble”, “Whippin’ Piccadilly”, and “Get Myself Arrested” are as good as anything that was a hit in 1998. Also exceptional is the 9 minute workout of the underrated “Rie’s Wagon”. This quartet of songs exhibit loads of promise for Gomez, proving that they can not only write good, catchy material, but that they also have the chops to stretch out and play extended tracks. After these four, however, things settle quickly into below average. The band plays well, sings well, but just didn’t have this much great material at their disposal. Not even a song title like “Love Is Better Than A Warm Trombone” can lift it above being nothing more than filler. In all, the album has great highs and puzzling lows, a decent but unspectacular debut from a band looking for an identity. Still, Gomez is highly interesting and adventurous, so any of their albums are pretty worthwhile.

1999-VIRGIN
Produced By GOMEZ

1. Hangover
2. Revolutionary Kind
3. Bring It On
4. Blue Moon Rising
5. Las Vegas Dealer
6. We Haven't Turned Around
7. Fill My Cup
8. Rhythm & Blues Alibi
9. Rosalita
10. California
11. Devil Will Ride

Will someone please tell me why America didn't love this? The 2nd album from Gomez was a hit just about everywhere in the world except for the US. It's loaded with great hooks, from "Hangover" and "Bring It On" to "Rhythm & Blues Alibi" and "Fill My Cup". I remember sitting in traffic on the 405 listening to this thinking, "Why?". Great songs, great vocals, and they make it sound easy. Gomez should be one of the biggest bands today, but they're not. Which, I guess is okay because it's still cool to like them.
