UNDISCOVERED GEM- DYNAMITE PYE- DYNAMITE PYE ( ALBUM REVIEW

-



French retro rockers Dynamite Pye explode onto the music scene with their self-titled debut album. They decided to form with a group of fellow musicians and songwriters to create a rare experience in the studio. This was achieved by recording a live rendition at Kerwax studios in Brittany, France through the old analogue technologies of the 50's 60's and 70's. The band's brand of funk/pop/ rock and R'n'B exhibits a new perspective on the approach to music.

We're Gon' Have A Party kicks things off with this entrancing trip to 50's love of garage rock and boogie numbers. Lead singer Lari Lucien delivers a joyful track over vibrato guitar licks and cries of the contagious chorusWe're gon' have a party/we are gon' have a ball/we're going to boogie until the break of dawn/play that rock 'n' roll.

The soulful love ballad Rosy is next. The piano-driven track is about the one that got away. An emotional atmosphere created by bass, drums, and bluesy guitar breaks. Lucien sounds like a lost soul through emotive outpourings that add a sprinkle of reminiscent charm towards the end.

Fuel For Love is a folk song I believe is about a secret rendezvous, shall we say. Lucien once again writes an engaging song with humorous lyrics. His sorrowful tones are equally matched by simply strummed chordal patterns.

The Perry Leopard -written Somethings Depend on a Glance is a love ballad that isn't difficult to pull on the heartstrings. The string arrangement adds that depth of yearning to this beautiful track. 

She Doesn't Give  A F#@k  is a lighthearted track that shares a similar sound to Eric Burdon in a reflective mood. The dynamic changes drastically from a slow and sombre blues song to an uptempo, energetic rock 'n ' roller.

And Finally, Melissa Cox completes the album for Dynamite Pye with the enchanting Tend Me Like A Fire. Cox's attentive vocals soar over the mellow piano keys to wrap up an entertaining outing for the band.

Dynamite Pye will take you through a wondrous journey of forgotten sounds and original songs to leave listeners feeling enlightened.

  Words from Anselm Anderson Nu-Metal is making a return with a bang. The latest band to embrace the genre that mixed down-tuned guitars with mixing desks and aggressive vocals about personal struggles and social anxieties is Virginia-based sextet,  Saint Diablo. Today, the Latin Americans release their latest four-track EP 'The Reckoning' via Eclipse Records.  The band consists of lead vocalist Tito Quinones, guitarist Justin Adams, bassist Zach San Pietro, drummer Anthony San Pietro, and percussionist Awesome Ray Ray. It has released two full releases to date, including 2015's critically -acclaimed Devils, Horns and Halos. The Reckoning  is no exception as the band delivers four sizzling tracks of apoplectic rage, thunderous riffs and catchy choruses to set themselves loose on the metal world.

  Words by Anselm Anderson Metalcore act Paradis released their hotly-anticipated self-titled debut EP last week, The quintet combines the raw ferocity of the genre's vocals with the dark atmospheric music of black metal, which is a unique approach to the revived genre, once maligned by metalheads all over. Formed in London, England, the multicultural group consists of vocalist Johnny Weaver, guitarists Pedro Silva and Federico Di Biase, bassist Mark Kuchmenko and drummer Flynn Everard. The band commented on how this was a team effort, reflected over five intense, headbanging tracks. Photo Credit: Michael Williams One notable aspect of this EP is the diversity of the tracks. Paradis delivers powerful and ominous metal with impactful orchestration and bone-shaking breakdowns. The band's creative ideas allow the music to take on a life of its own, showcasing a contrast between aggressive, angst-filled vocals paired with heavy riffs, and melodic vocals set against gothic underton...
