Posted by on Apr 24, 2011 in Contests | Comments

The following artist is one of the participants of the Evolvor Crowdsourced Rock Compilation Contest This review is a very quick, first impression of what we thought of their submission and the data presented in their electronic press kit.

For a band that’s been around since 1990, I expected something more solid. The music isn’t bad, it’s loud, funky and Cult-like, I’m talking about the quality of the production. Overall, this London based duo has over 5,000 fans and plays quite a bit of live shows, which is always a plus.

Submission: Operation Moon Freedom

For a three-piece band, JoeSixPack is insanely good. They’re a straight forward hardcore band with disgusting guitars, thunderous drums and smooth bass-lines. It’s hard to stand out in the Austin art scene, but these guys definitely can.

Submission: “Down Down”

This London band has a lot to offer music fans, and I mean a lot. For starters, they music is fresh and very well produced. They’re almost Muse-like, but dare I say more enjoyable at this point. They’re also self-assured (but not TOO arrogant), which is always great for a rock band. Finally, there’s seven members. Yes. I did say seven. This means that there’s a lot of different instruments to be heard.

Submission: “49 Years”

I knew that I was in for something different with a band called Infinite Monkey Orchestra. I don’t know why, but that name is just awesome. Apparently, they record their music in a basement in Chelmsford, MA, which I’m surprised about since the quality sounds superior to so many other bands who do the same. The music itself reminds my of a more crunchier Blood Hound Gang, which isn’t horrible, but not exactly my cup of tea.

Contest Submission: The Taken – 4 Stars (Out of 5)

One of the biggest perks of The Taken is their name. It’s simple, easy to remember and pretty much sums up the band’s melodic sound. I also like that they’re willing to jam with fellow Toledo, OH musicians, in addition to their core group of members. Their recorded music isn’t bad sounding for being self-produced, which makes me believe, that they’re serious about their music career.
