Aloud – Observing Paul

After reviewing their 10 song CD Aloud with tracks such as “Basil Fo’Me”, “Shiver” and “Standing Still” it was clear that this NYC quartet was tight, had muscular musicianship, and came across as an Impressive rock band.

There was a bit of a dark side to them, kind of like being stuck on the dark side of the universe. Me, I prefered the hard rocking songs like Shiver and Isolated Man but most of the time the band seemed to be seeking a Zen like balance like in the song Back. Big guitars, catchy riffs, honest backbone style Rock-n-Roll
