I’m one of the biggest fans of the garage rock revival, but it’s a canvas concerned near-exclusively with primary colors. That being said, Zeus plays seamlessly right alongside groups like The Hives or The Libertines. I would add, though, that the low-fi grit of the guitar and vocals – everything, really — from Zeus doesn’t break any new ground. The cover of Phil Collins’ “That’s All” is wildly amusing and enjoyable, but you won’t find Jack White sort of inspiration or subtle innovation anywhere else on this EP. Ultimately, it’s fun but disposable. In the same way that you really don’t need more than one album from The Vines.
