Nashville-based Swag is a five-piece power-pop outfit built around Wilco, Mavericks, and Cheap Trick members on a busman's holiday. While Catch-All's dozen pastiches never hit the classic pitch of the Beatles, Kinks, and Todd Rundgren numbers that are among the group's most obvious touchstones, most of them are catchy enough to appeal to devotees of the style. What's missing are the darker shades that might lift the album to the level of Revolver, Big Star's Radio City, or more recent discs like the Mayflies USA's Summertown and the Figgs' Sucking in Stereo. If the notion of Trick-style guitars vying with the opening lines of the Sesame Street theme appeals ("Ride") though, this is your record. --Rickey Wright
