Today for New Music Sunday I'm featuring the band Alpha Rev. I had never heard of this band before having them pop up on a Pandora station several months ago.
From their Facebook page:
"While [frontman Casey] McPherson’s songwriting and rock-inspired vocals form the core of Alpha Rev’s music, he is supported by a unique cast of musicians that fill Alpha Rev’s songs with as much classical beauty as American rock. In addition to the typical guitar, keyboard, bass, and drums, Alpha Rev boasts a violin and cello that add brilliantly to the band’s sound. Together, Alpha Rev offers up layered, orchestral, melody-driven masterpieces able to turn strangers to super fans in a single listen."
For me, this album is the type I'd play on a weekend morning or while at work. It's melodic, mellow rock that's catchy but doesn't require that you pay too much attention to it. But after a few listens, the songs stick and you realize there is some good craftsmanship throughout.
My favorite tracks are Track 1 - "New Morning", and Track 6 - "Get Out", which sounds a lot like Keane. For a album review, check out All Music Guide.
