The sophomore CD from New York's Coppersonic meshes a tried and true archetypal sound that has a sound of funky rock from the past. The band also stuck true to musical roots by opting to record the CD entirely on analog equipment to truly capture their sound. A funky backbeat, blues guitar and soulful vocals make the basis of the sound on this CD.

The self-titled debut from the New Jersey (sic) duo/trio finds 'em squarely in modern rock territory. Their blues-fused pop stays pretty focused across the nine tunes. The tunes ride the line between well-crafted singer-songwriter pop (the plot-driven "Memories of Hollywood")...

Coppersonic Coppersonic (Self-released) It's always refreshing to come across a band that is unafraid to simply play the music they enjoy without apparent concern about the commercial impact it may have. Coppersonic delivers a brand of rock music that may be labeled as "southern rock" though one wonders whether that phrase has any more resonance in this day and age. Nevertheless, the passion and verve must be recognized - check it out! www.coppersonic.com

There's no doubt the 80's were a period in which a lot of artificial bands had success and only kick-ass bands like Guns 'n' Roses or Metallica could emerge from that mess of kitsch and taken for granted songs, images and so on. The 90's brought more depression and stagnation and of course the worst has no bottom, so now those bands have disappeared in a way or another and the fear of risking and labels' blackmails reduce most bands to performers rather than artists.

From this asphyxiated view bands like Coppersonic are fighting to stand out and I'd say their resumes are fit for this aim. Besides boring and futile distinctions about what is really alt rock, I'd just like to tell you that if you're chasing a band which can skillfully mix US Rock, Blues and an ounce of Country without losing their integrity, then you should contact NY-based Coppersonic a.s.a.p.!

Just enjoy the highs and lows in "On and On" or the ones in the dynamic single "Tomorrow Girl", by the way gifted with a great chorus and then hit your stride with this superb self-released debut album.
