Description:
BLUE MOON HAREM plays a form of modern rock that runs the gamut from hard rock to well-crafted pop. The driving beat of the first track, "Addiction," (think a modern Deep Purple) is impossible to resist, as are the blasting guitars on "Girl On A Wire" (which brings to mind Rage Against the Machine). On the other hand, tracks, such as "Ride," "Willow," and "Dog's Life" provide sonic relief in the form of funky, slinky fare with a touch of R&B. Tracks like "Eight" and "I Am A Wall" remind me of Collective Soul. Although Blue Moon Harem don't play progressive rock, and you won't find a lot of virtuoso noodling here, their interesting songs and expert arrangements lift them above typical power-pop radio fare. The album is beautifully recorded and the songs are addictive. Some label should snap these folks up now. I think they could sell a lot of records.
