Shorties

Little King – Virus Divine
LocationEl Paso, Tejas
Initial ImpressionHow sweet is it that this CD was dedicated; actually it claims to be inspired by, one of the band member's young daughter. Unfortunately I can't tell you who because that information wasn't contained – it was simply signed "Dad". I'm going to guess its vocalist and lyricist Ryan Rosoff.
Notable Lyric"Slipping off your dancing shoes. Backed up against the wall. Sliding down your strapless gown. I'm heading for a fall." – "Second Wind"
FactoidThe Sirens spun one of this band's tunes on Episode 14 of Siren Rebellion – Cuz we're good like that! In other news, the CD was mixed by Terry Brown (Rush, Dream Theater, Fates Warning).
Serve WithA cool buzz and some tasty waves!
CommentsThere's something theatric about this CD. Not missing the Terry Brown mention earlier, I am reminded a bit of Rush with hints of a Geddy Lee vocal here and there. The press information describes the music as pop prog (I swear that a new music definition crops up every day) but I'll just call it rock that is frequently haunting, beautiful (Can I call rock beautiful?) while tipping its retro hat to old school metal (Again see Rush or maybe a bit of Queensryche). I can picture folks sitting around smokin' the dope and spinning this CD while pondering its frequently introspective lyrics. Anyone else have the munchies?
