THE SOUND MAGAZINE #1: The rise of The Band!
In Yorkshire, UK grew a sound that is quickly beginning to be heard around the world. That sound is a mixture
of Alternative Rock, Post Punk Revival, meshed wonderfully with Jazz-Fusion. The owners of this sound are
The Band. The Band consists of four young guns: Kim Black on bass/lead vocals. John York on lead guitar. Ian Black on Rhythm
and Edmund Pitt on drums. All our multitalented.
It was not long ago that The Band released their debut, double album,
England's Latest Attraction, a debut that smashed
it's way to the top 100 in the UK. The album went silver within weeks. The critics seemed taken aback by these young, talented,
and smilingly cocky group of musicians. I mean releasing a double album as your debut is a very bold move. But this gamble was
smart, well calculated and ultimately the right move because The Band has quickly become hot property.
Now The Band has released their sophomore album (cleverly entitled),
The Bands Second Album . Now this album sets in
stone that The Band is here to stay. Not only do they do something new but they do it in a style that only The Band could do it. The raw power
punk/jazz n rock will wow you.
Don't Let Me Down, Bloody Disgrace, The House Of Lords are simply outstanding. Bands with experience
and a few records under their belts can't even do what The Band has done on their sophomore album, and that is to expand the creative process,
and construct something entirely new, yet familiar. The Beatles did it in the 60's with their surreal deal, and Dylan did in the 70's with his country sound.
Now The Band have done it. 4/4
The User JOHN: I've been following John for sometime. His RP's are solid. I really like that he keeps him mostly texted based.
Though an album cover wouldn't hurt. He breathes life into his RP by giving his act a distinctive voice. 4/4
Final Thoughts+All I can say is I cannot wait to see what The Band does next.
- I fear that their egos will develop into a monster. Can they control it?
