Maremil Music artist: Alex Lopez - Retro Revival - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Retro Revival, from Alex Lopez and it's a solid blues rocker. Opening with One More Time, Alex Lopez on guitar and vocal leads an updated blues number with acoustic rhythm and fiery electric lead by Lightning of Memphis Lightning. Vocal harmonies and with the backing of Steve Roberts on bass and Kana Leimbach on drums make this a solid opener. Soulful vocals by Lopez make When I Sing The Blues a standout track with simple arpeggiated rhythm guitar and basic drum and bass backing. R&B track, What The World Needs Now has a super beat and Lopez's vocals saturated with keyboard backing and an electrifying guitar solo by Lopez works great. Cranking up the rock edge a bit with a solid rock riff and heavy bottom and kick drum, Angry has real attitude. Wrapping the release is Keep On Living with ringing acoustic guitar and subtle vocals. Settling into an easy rock rhythm George Harris adds to B Bender guitar work giving the track a nice balance.

The Outernet - The Light & The Fury - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, The Light & The Fury, from The Outernet and it's electrifying. Opening with The Fury, Phil Turcio on keys and Emilio Kormanic on guitars lead a high paced fusion track with an excellent presentation. Romping bass lines by Pete Mollica and tight drum work by Pete Drummond leave you breathless. Excellent opener. The Crossing is a super composition with an aggressive bottom. Mollica and Drummond are anything but subdued with excellent rhythm work and Turcio splashes in a bright piano solo to cap this one off. Menacing Images has a driving bottom and Drummond plays intense drum lead paired closely with Mollica and Turcio, Kormanic rips on guitar again and takes things down in tempo but without losing the enthusiasm with thought provoking piano work. Another strong track. Running From The Aliens (Pt I) has a great lead guitar rhythm melody synched with Turcio on keys and  Mollica and Drummond reinforcing the rhythm. An energetic, clean bass lead by Mollica is exceptional making this one of my favorites on the release.  Wrapping the release is beautiful, The Light, led elegantly by Kormanic on guitar caressed by Turcio on keys . This is an excellent release and a great fusion performance.
