Lead Mule
\nParts & Labour
\n<\/i>(Independent)
\n4\/5<\/p>\n

Yarmouth, Nova Scotia\u2019s Lead Mule has put a modern twist on early \u201990s rock with Parts & Labour<\/i>, their second LP. The album combines intricate three-part harmonies, snappy riffs, and choruses that the listener can\u2019t help but sing along with.<\/p>\n

Vocalist\/guitarist Mat Bridgeo brings something to the table with his singing that can best be described as the metaphorical lovechild of Bush\u2019s Gavin Rossdale and Panic! at the Disco\u2019s Brendon Urie; it may seem like an incompatible pairing, but Parts & Labour<\/i>\u2019s title track and \u201cSemi Automatic\u201d brilliantly showcase this hybrid of styles.<\/p>\n

Throughout the LP, Bridgeo\u2019s vocals float effortlessly across meticulously crafted and melody-laden tracks, each one offering up something different than the last. This album starts out strong and ends off on a softer note, leaving the listener with a strong sense of contentment and satisfaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
