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.

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.

In terms of social networking, they’re holding their own. They have over 4,500 registered fans, who happen to be spread out across the entire U.S. They’re biggest mistake in that department is that half of them are on MySpace, but they seem to be converting fans into a serious Email and Facebook fan list. Keep up the excellent work in the promo dept!
