I didn’t really know what to expect when this little CD arrived so anything could come out of the speakers when I put this baby in the Hi-Fi. It is a 2 track demo and although it is only a bit of a sampler of the band, it is a CD with great skill shown by the band as they have their own, highly individual sound as they blend genres and form what it is that they have. The first track here, ‘Soma Riot Wave Machine’ has and Indie thing going but it is Indie in a way I have never heard it before so this is obviously the bands own take on Indie and I think that the sound they have created here in this song is amazing. It is Indie with a difference as there are some extremely strong guitar riffs. So you get the nice, chilled out melodic vocals and couple them with some amazingly strong guitar riffs and the outcome is awesome. The second track, ‘Time Against The Tower’ is another strong track – this time no storming guitar riffs though with a very chilled out and relaxing feel about the whole thing. Not only are the vocals in this one mellow but the guitar playing also is and the drumming is also soft to make it a terrific track as it really chills you out and is the sort of track that you would love to listen to on the way home from work after a really stressful day. It is the most chilling of songs you could possibly listen to and this is what makes it so good. Sometimes, on relaxed tracks like this one it can get really boring for you as the listener but this one is far from boring and the band create their own unique sound perfectly in order to carry out this masterpiece of a track. So although this is only a two track demo CD, it leaves you gagging for more. They have their own very distinct sound and no other band around at the moment is creating music quite like this. If they keep up the good work then there is no reason why they shouldn’t break the mainstream in the next few years.
