The Procession @ The Echo, 1/16In a coincidence too coincidental to be anything but cosmically preordained, the two founding members of the Beatles-worshiping indie-poppers the Procession are named John and Paul. Sure, sure, anyone can slap a sunny melody on an upbeat rhythm and claim the Fab Four as primary inspiration, but I'''ll be damned if ''"Don'''t Hesitate''"(from the Procession'''s aptly titled, upcoming debut, Musique Magnifique) isn'''t the missing link between Help! and Revolver; elsewhere on the album, ''"MTV Song''" is the least annoying song to be based on the Pachelbel Canon chord progression in recent memory, and ''"Major and Minor''" proves that the Procession'''s got the key to Cheap Trick'''s safety deposit box. It doesn'''t hurt that member number three is an honest-to-goodness Englishman, which keeps the Britpop lineage intact, even if he ruins the eerie Beatles/Procession name convergence (his name'''s Greg).(ER)"
