Guitar-driven rock with a strong melodic sense, No. 2's sophomore effort is a prime example that rock isn't dead. In music we trust. 2004.Reviews:
When Heatmiser, the Northwest's great pop/punk hope, disbanded five yearsago, Elliott Smith's already-established solo career attracted the lion'sshare of the subsequent attention, leaving the remaining ‘misers in somethingof a vacuum. Guitarist Neil Gust has had little time to notice since the 1998formation of his punky bop rock trio No. 2. The band's ‘99 debut,No Memory, led to opening gigs for Smith, Quasi, Stephen Malkmus andSleater-Kinney, and in their minimal spare time, they've assembled theirinfectious sophomore album, What Does Good Luck Bring? No Memorywas peppered with songs that Gust had brought from his Heatmiser days, soGood Luck plays like the first real No. 2 effort, as the trio continuesto mix Stonesy rock ("More, More"), arty Television punk ("IsIt True?"), Matthew Sweet-and-low power pop ("A Little Confusion,""Traveling"), and buttshaking soul ("Good Intentions") withgreat results.
