When I first saw their MySpace page, I expected something completely different from what I heard. I was expecting head thrashing, paint your nails black death metal. What I got was a pleasant surprise, an alternative sound with a hint of today’s modern grunge. It goes to show you, don’t judge a book (or MySpace) by its cover.
Her Revenge will appeal to those into everything from grunge to metal to pop. I love their sound, they don’t incorporate that “breathy” sound many grunge singers like American Idol winner, David Cook brings. Instead Her Revenge has more of a Bo Bice sound that is energetic, poetic and raw. They will persuade you to stomp your feet rocking out with them, chill with their poetic ballads that will take you back to the 80’s, and get you up and dancing with their song Super Star. Her Revenge successfully combines these very different genres into one album without loosing their own identity for one second.
Their singer has a great voice; powerful, soothing and crisp all at the same time. Most importantly he demonstrates excellent vocal control, which is key to leading a good rock band. The songs have upbeat guitar riffs that will send engergy staight through your spine.
I would definately add this CD to my collection, or if you are “hip” you will get the album on MP3. Check Her Revenge out on their MySpace page at www.myspace.com/herrevengeband
When I read the Bo Bice comment I figured that you knew I was a baratone and didn’t know much more about music and singing like all the other people that do reviews. After I read the powerful and control comments I came to the conclusion that you are either a singer yourself or just an all around pro. It is very refreshing to get a review from someone that knows what they are talking about. If you ever want to check out a live show I will personally show off some serious technique and I promise you will be impressed. My goal is to invent technique that everyone from average Joe and the best opera singers can relate to. I have already done it and the only way to see it is live. It is impossible for a self produced band to capture this on cd. Just when I thought I was wasting my time for all these years I get this pleasant review. Words can not thank you enough.
Thanks,
