The Limes

Turn Your Lights Off

Deluxe

The Limes just explode immediately into head shaking, hip swaying, hook-laden pop rock of the big grin kind. You can’t help but smile (coincidentally, The Limes’ first release was titled Smile). These Dallas boys shift effortlessly through a few styles of rock, but the common thread is intensity and solidity. There’s a straight-ahead drive that keeps the songs moving. There are a few slower grooves, but the strength of the guitar, the grit of the bass, and the heart of the drums keep the dynamics flowing. I think “London” is actually a Smiths cover, but here it sounds perfectly in place with the rest of this band’s repertoire. Rockin’ out anything by
