People Magazine- Into Your Head
Forget N'Sync and the Backstreet Boys - BBMak is the
best boy band around (and not just because they actually play their own instruments). The
British trio - which is comprised of Christian Burns, Stephen "Ste" McNally and
Mark Barry - follow up 2000's jolly good debut SOONER OR LATER with another collection of
shiny guitar-pop ditties that are guaranteed to stick in your head. Of the 10 tracks on
this disc - all of which Burns, McNally and Barry co-wrote -there is not one bad song in
the bunch. This is the rare CD that can be played from start to finish without hitting the
skip button. With instantly catch choruses, sunny harmonies and charmingly retro
arrangement, BBMak updates the tuneful Brit-pop tradition of the Beatles for the TRL
generation. On the 60s-inspired songs such as the psychedelic-tinged "staring in to
Space" and the symphonic "Sympathy," close your eyes and you can almost
imagine them wearing mop-tops. BOTTOM LINE: BBMak shoots a bull's eye
