A NEW SHADE a band worth discovering
Back in the 70’s there was about a handful of styles. Some evolved in the 80’s but still we could get around saying we liked Rock/Metal/Classic/Pop, .. I think you get the drift. Nowadays there are as many styles as there are artist.. Ok not that much but still, styles defined themselves in various ways. Just think about Metal, we have the good old Heavy Metal. Now we have new adjectives like power, speed, black, death, …
Though it is a good thing in itself for the industry, we sometimes end up with a multitude of artist that despite a few differences sounds about the same.
Rarely can we really come across a band that we can say just by the 1st stroke of a guitar, the 1st drum beat how they are.
More and more artists are becoming icon’s for the wrong reasons. Because they look good and because they will sell. That’s marketting all right.
Thankfully, I came across a band that have all it takes. They have the will, they have an amazing sound and something that seems to be so often forgotten, THEY HAVE TALENT.
This band is A NEW SHADE. Band members, Carrie Davidson – Vocals, Tyler Eisenhart – Guitar, Tommy O’Brien – Drums and Aj Abdulshafi-Bass, are in their early 20’s and already they have acheived a sound and style that so may will want to reach but never will. They all come from different music background and uses those influences as an asset. This allows them to really have their own style, their own sound.
Musically speaking, they are really great but another aspect so often minimized by other’s makes them truely unique. They really value their fans. Yes everyone says that but seldom really do.
Too often bands will rely on marketting firm to dictate the public what we should and shouldn’t listen to. Telling us what is good or not. Well they don’t.
They really value their fans and have a vision of music that seemed lost till now.
Metal is still going stong and with bands like A NEW SHADE, there really is hope for all of us Head Bangner.
Take a look for yourself, make your own opinion and be the juge.
For my part I am trhilled I got to discover the band and hope you’ll share my interest in them.
