This is the latest CD from the late, great Estobahn offering up 3 fine tunes of melodic masterpieces. The tracks ‘lucid,’ ‘summer, I found…’ and ‘blue skies’ are all extremely cool tunes featuring some strong guitar lines, awesomely melodic vocals, a good drum beat, and some terrific bass lines. The atmosphere on this CD is extremely chilled out and mellow – if you were listening to this when you were depressed you probably wouldn’t get it, but it is great for when you are happy as you can just drift away and lose yourself in the melody of the music – its fantastic!
All of the three tracks on display here are equally as interesting and as exciting as each other with some seriously chilled out beats that will make any worries you have just disappear for the duration of the 11 minutes that the CD lasts for. This band do not need to rush into hardcore every 5 seconds to keep their music interesting, they are good enough musicians to make it absolutely astounding with every note being hit by the vocalist as mellow as it possibly could. Many of the bands that I hear have driving guitars, fast vocals, and lightning drumming to try and keep the attention of the listener but this band do not need to venture into any of the said actions. I really love what this band are doing here as it is so different to the norm for what most Rock bands are doing right now and shows that they are not afraid of trying out things and this is always a great quality in a band. Up until recently when the band contacted me and sent me this CD I had not heard of them, but with tracks like these there is no reason why this band should remain an underground outfit for too long!
I absolutely loved this little Demo from the band as it gave me my first insight in to their music and I have to say that I was impressed with what I heard and will definitely be checking these guys out in the future. Originality is a rarity in the modern UK Rock scene, but Estobahn are a prime example of one of the few bands that aren’t afraid to venture in to new and unexplored territory. Check them out if you are looking for a band who are a bit different, as they are sure to impress and put a massive smile on your face!
