Music Review: Salazar

	Sounds Like: Guitars played over drums that have bass underneath and piano lilting in between with voices soaring above.

This next review that I am doing is on the music group/band, Salazar. The band certainly has craved a nice sound for them. In fact, one of the band’s appeal is that I belive they have perfected a nice blend of rock, alternative, and Indie flair to their music. One of the coolest aspects of the band is their vocals/lyrics. The fact is Salazar has something to say. It is not just words put together to make sentences with no real reason and rhyme. When I am listening to their music, I really want to hear more. That is good to hear.

In fact, two of the band’s song’s “Shake It Off” and “Mountain Song” have a more ballard feel to them without being too sappy. It is two of my favorite pieces from their CD, CINEMATOCRACY. The band, whose influences include Radiohead, David Bowie, and The Beatles, consists of Drums & Vocals - John Federico, Bass & Vocals - Jesse Greendyk, Guitar & Vocals - Ryan Cooney, Vocals & Guitar - Nate Gowtham, and Piano & Keys - Michael Kester.

When I tell you that when you are listening to Salazar’s Cinematocracy CD, you are treated to a variety of styles that really highlights the band’s diverse range. Don’t believe me; pick up their album yourself to see what I am ranting about. I give their CD a Solid A-.
