Many bands submit their latest releases for review with the claim that they are ‘gonna be the next big thing’, that they ‘rock more than everyone else’….so on and so on…to be honest, who the fuck are we not to agree? Serpentone, on the other hand, make no such claim…no false promise awaits as I place the CD onto the deck…what I know is that if you like your music played from the heart, no bells or whistles, overproduction or self-indulgent musicianship, then you’ve come to the right place.
Erika Meyer knocks out tune after tune, in her unique vocal style, backed by a ‘Wall of Sound’ grungy attack by the rest of the band….it’s not all loud and aggressive though…there are quiet tender moments too….but gladly, the songs have been so well written that the underlying angst isn’t lost.
This is a great disc, you should check it out!!
