Duff: 400 Miles EP
[self-released]

Harmless, if not a little bratty, Duff peddles light, rootsy pop, and it works most of the time here on this five-song EP.  Suddenly and Adrenaline are pleasant enough, and no doubt he has the people swaying in the aisles in a live setting, but it is what it is: fluff.

He tries tough on You Can Try, but after the first three songs, its hard to imagine him as wild.  Its about as hard as a puppy.  Lets hope hes singing about an older brother.  No, he seems much more suited to the sweet pathos of 400 Miles and Sigh.  You can believe these songs vivid portraits of a man on the verge on the verge of what? Not even he knows, but well find out in a few years.
