New Jersey Americana-tinged pop-rock band Water Street are, according to brilliant track “People,” just trying to be people. They can consider that task accomplished, because there’s a wonderful “regular folk” vibe to Water Street’s music that is reminiscent of Billy Joel and, more recently, Bleachers. It’s a subtle “anti-rock star” thing; these guys probably found each other on a street, presumably Water Street, and just started making music on a porch. If that’s not true, it feels like it is. More importantly, the hooks and performances are fantastic. “Summer Rose” is a sweet ballad, but they let loose a little on “People” and “Collateral,” to their immense benefit.
