Black
Sonic Revolver is an independent band out of Manchester, and they stand as good
representatives of one of my favorite music scenes. With a fairly minimalist
set-up they deliver a rich sound that evokes a lot of classic rock and British
Invasion sound.
The
guitars sometimes seem a little fuzzy, and sometimes a little more jangle, but
they always combine with the percussion and vocals in a way that gives the
right groove. It's not that it would really serve as dance music (maybe
"Play Along"), but it is good listening.
They
were up for review a few months ago, it said they were supposed to come out
with a new album on May 5th, so I put them on the back burner, checking
periodically. Monday as I was selecting this week's bands the album was
suddenly there, and had just gotten there, with a release date of June 21st, 2014. Sometimes things just work out.
B.S.R. is available via iTunes and Amazon, and can be previewed on
Spotify.
