The automatic genre generator on iTunes may say Blues, but there is nothing sad about Philadelphia based Victor Victor Band.

If taking chances and living on the edge is what being in a band is all about, then "Chatterbox," the duo's debut album, is as ripped and raw as any studio album can possibly get.

With very little polished production, Victor Victor Band bares its soul on 13 tracks of fun beats and sing-a-long lyrics. Recorded in their native Philadelphia at local legendary studios, The Fire and The Record Lounge, it is in sessions like these that the true heart of rock and roll lies. Others might criticize Victor Victor Band for releasing such a stripped down album, but I personally think it's just what the world of music needs!

Add one part Oasis, two parts Southern Biker Bar and a dash of The White Stripes and you've got the style of Victor Victor Band. The swirling black and white mass that is the art of "Chatterbox" coincides with what you hear as soon as that laser hits the CD. It is, fittingly, a limited edition; only 400 were pressed.

Ranging from pure instrumentals like "Hillbilly" or a track solely devoted to tuning up, as is the case with "I Just Got Ready to do Hillbilly," the brain child of Jamie and Danielle Victor is an endearing conglomeration that showcases the ability of Victor Victor Band to be eclectic.

"Lost & Found," the second track from "Chatterbox," is radio play ready with its soulful sounds and pseudo-vengeful, emoting lyrics that can usually be heard coming through the airwaves today.

The opening lines of "Lady of the Night" seem to pay homage to Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" in words, sound and attitude.

You can't help but laugh and bob your head when Victor Victor Band showcases its humor with the 30 second "Raj Peter Bhakta" which is about...who knows and who cares! You'll be singing it with your buds in no more than five minutes.

With the lighthearted silliness of "Same," another instance of when the tape was left running during rehearsal, it is easy to see that the Victors have a real partnership and a genuine friendship only strengthened by the music they make.

My favorite moments from "Chatterbox" are also some of the shortest. Clocking in at a mere 37 seconds, “Saw It In The Lounge," had me smiling from the moment Danielle Victor played the first keys until they cut short to make way for the 80s-like ballad of "East Is The Wind," which is heart melting in its own right.

"Saw it in the Sky" is the most gritty and serious of this album's potential hits. Both playful in tempo and tune, Jamie Victor plays his solos with such love that the chords will still be vibrating through your mind for hours.

Unique, yet classic, the music of Victor Victor Band has the potential to inspire the most skeptical teenager or even make the toes of the grumpiest old-timer tap enthusiastically.

To hear more Victor Victor Band see them live during the Sunoco Welcome America Festival on July 2.
