Sometimes you hear new songs that sound like old songs. Somehow, you’ve heard these songs before – in a good way. They’ve been part of your rock and roll lexicon for eons and you just don’t know how they got there, which radio station you first heard them on, or even which year they first emitted from. That’s what Detroit-based singer-writer Nick Piunti does best, and almost better than anybody. Nick’s new album, Downtime, continues his sonic assault with his new band, the Complicated Men. It finds the gravel voiced Piunti in a mood - a loud mood. The band barrels through timeless break up anthems and the occasional grateful ballad to deliver this year’s audiophile self-questioning critique; “How did I miss this guy’s records?”
