The Tor - Burned Ashes Blues, Blues Rock, Rock and Roll New Jersey, United States Overall Impression: The Tor sends shockwaves through the air with the release of Burned Ashes. This new Blues-Rock tune brings heavy doses of ripping guitars, keys, and an in-your-face attitude to make an impact on all who are near. The crunchy groove moves with a quick tempo and rolling feel. Burning like embers, it is a solid foundation for the solos and vocals. When the first guitar solo hits, the listener is taken by its red-hot tone. It sears across the horizon with emotive licks and an edgy attitude. This is also evident in the final solo which ends the tune on a high note. Breaking up this guitarist's paradise is an explorative keyboard solo that places the tune in a completely new light. It adds an essential character that will bring in more fans than guitars can do by themselves. Overall, Burned Ashes by The Tor is an in-your-face Blues Rock tune that makes its statement with some killer solos. Strongest Point(s): The instrumental work definitely shines the brightest in Burned Ashes, but the vocals and lyrics deserve their own attention. The straight-ahead vocals make their point with shortened lyrical phrasing typically found in Blues Rock. They allow focus to be given to the instrumental work, where the emotive qualities really stand out. Target Audience Appeal: Fans of Rock, Classic Rock, and Blues Rock will dig Burned Ashes by The Tor. Artist target suggestions: Eric Clapton, Cream, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Byrds, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, AC/DC, The Silvers, Morris Moon Taylor Interested in having your Song Reviewed by our Professional Staff?

Atrium - That's The Day Rock, Folk Rock, Blues Rock Montreal, Canada Overall Impression: Lyrically chronicling an emergence from despair into sonorous livelihood, Atrium's original and optimistic Rock ballad, That's the Day, artfully employs classic tones and timeless musicality to transport listeners into a sonic space of reflection and revelry! Electric and acoustic guitars support soaring lead vocals in an empowering anthem of discovery and determination - allowing all who listen into That's the Day an opportunity of nostalgia-coated catharsis! Strongest Point(s): Atrium's overall sound is impressive - nearly belonging to a bygone era of Rock, but retaining a modernity that easily allows for contemporary engagement. The lead vocal tones are, easily, the defining feature of the group's style - displaying a fullness of energy and strength of skill that really grab listener attentions immediately. The harmonies that join occasionally are equally as engaging, and heighten the song's emotional draw nicely. The lyrics are really resonant - seeming to come from a place of authenticity and availability that stands to connect with a wide range of listeners. Wonderful sounds! Target Audience Appeal: Atrium's sound and style fall well into the realm of Classic Rock - while the emotional artistry and lyrical vulnerability in That's the Day transcend genre and speak more openly to the human experience. Listeners with an ear for tastefully overdriven guitar beneath stellar female vocal work will be drawn headlong into Atrium's work, though all who have a heart for well-conceived and passionately performed original music stand to benefit from listening into That's the Day! - Jon W.
