EP Review - Trapper Keeper (EP) by The Legal Matters (2017) (Future Man Records)


For those who are uninitiated to the sweet janglepop brilliance of this band, The Legal Matters are something of a powerpop / janglepop 'super-group' formed from members of the following bands:

Keith Klingensmith - Hippodrome / Phenomenal Cats

Chris Richards - a band mate of Klingensmith's in the aforementioned bands and latterly involved in a highly recommended solo project Chris Richards & The Subtractions.

Andy Reed - An American Underdog 

Their previous two releases, 2014's self titled album on Klingensmiths own Futureman Records and more specifically the brilliant 2016 Omnivore Recordings released Conrad, received widespread critical acclaim for their melodic harmonies and stripped back powerpop / janglepop sound and aroused immediate references to bands such as The Raspberries and Big Star.
