Band Review: Kerbera

Kerbera is an alternative rock band from Stockholm, Sweden.

Listing influences like Muse and Avenged Sevenfold, and having toured with Falling in Reverse, that could give an idea of the likely fan base. It would be reasonable. I want to suggest two other factors.

One is that visually the band gives me strong glam vibes. They don't necessarily look more like glam rockers than other types of rockers (that could be hard to define anyway), but there is a creativity - sometimes playful - and a toying with identity. It reminds me of Gerard Way's Hesitant Alien videos without looking anything like them.

In addition, without being dominant there is an element of ornamentation via keyboards and synthesizer that at times reminds me of Linkin Park. It provides contrast to the harder edges of the music, increasing texture and interest.

The band is wrapping up some West Coast dates, playing in Los Angeles tonight.

They are worth checking out.
