...group, Wareham is hardly a tyrant. This is two-guitar music, and both guitarists, Wareham and Sean Eden, were given plentiful opportunity to shine throughout the set. Eden even stepped to the microphone for “Broken Chair,” revealing himself as a more than able vocalist while giving Wareham a chance to rest his uniquely nasal voice...

The restaurant’s patrons hail mainly from nearby Boston University, and both students and professors tend to make a lot of good-natured noise as they support their friends.

Although Pollock sometimes affects (whether consciously or unconsciously) Nina Persson of the Cardigans, and although she is by no means an amazing vocalist, it’s comforting to note that she doesn’t try too hard in extending her voice or her credibility...
