confirmation the new Bass 305 Comeback album is legit

The album isn’t really “new”. It was apparently released in October of 2011, but I’m just now finding out about it, so I emailed Bass 305; Mark Watson and David Watson; to confirm whether or not it’s legit.

me :

Is this new Bass 305 Comeback album legit?

I’m trying to get confirmation that it’s a real Bass 305 album made by you guys and not an imposter because I can’t find it on the DM Records site or really anywhere but iTunes.

David Watson :

yes, this is the real Bass 305. I hope you enjoy the album. Thank you for your email

me :

Thank you for your reply! I’ve been a fan since 1993.

audio review : That’s Why God Made The Radio ( album ) … The Beach Boys

That's Why God Made The Radio

The Beach Boys sound like they did decades ago. It’s as if they’re stuck in the past, not even aware that; with the invention of the internet, iPods and such; AM-FM radio is a dying medium. That’s not a bad thing. The point of this album is to take rock and roll lovers on a trip down memory lane where they’d cruise the streets in a relatively recent creation now known as the classic car.

The harmonies are nice and the concepts are fitting. Titles include words like Spring, Ocean and Coast. Brian Wilson’s soundscape is there, but the Boys sang better melodies in the past. As serene as these songs are, there isn’t a gem in the sand. It’s also debatable whether or not “God” made the radio as opposed to hard-working people who’d probably take umbrage with such a claim.
