b1end

a good friend Edric Chan of mine and his new band b1end, I figure i'd give you my take on B1end's music as a self declared music mongrel(isnt that a animal? i mean monger).
(if you dont like me reviewing things then your outta luck because your not my mom!)

They are having their CD release party this August 15th 2008
B1end is more Acoustic R&B and Pop group more so than a rock group.
their music and lyrics are original yet very much unrefined and confused at times. when they play tracks that move nearer towards smooth acoustic jason mrazy songs it gets its message across exceptionally well, but when i hear the more r&b tracks i begin to wonder why they would need a "group" to accomplish end product, case and point "make babies" is trying way to hard on the r&b end. "to do list" and "perfect sky" are the tracks I'd recommend listening to
to do list's riff sounds a little too familiar to the guitar riff at 23 seconds into red hot chili peppers "soul to squeeze"
leave a note on their myspace and definately encourage their work or check out their first concerts at the national.

I'm sticking to my alternative rock genre.
the cd release party?
maybe i'll go to..err...."make babies"
much support edric chan!
