From the upbeat, instantly-infectious "Blue Tip" and "It's Only" to the emotive ballad "Soon" and evocative "Too Late," The Cars forthcoming release Move Like This is a true return to form for the New Wave-era pioneers.
"Keep on Knocking" has a driving, guitar-anchored feel showcasing Elliot Easton's outstanding fret work, and across the disc singer Ric Ocasek sings the material with power and style. Original keyboardist Greg Hawkes and drummer David Robinson round out the music making (original bassist-singer Benjamin Orr passed away 2000) quartet. The arrangements are tight and celebrate the unique sound the Boston outfit introduced to the world in the late 1970s.
