Unsigned Band Review – Adam Bennett

Band Name: Adam Bennett

Review:

Cite’s his influences to include Green Day – well – from the opening bar of the opening track, that was pretty evident. The only thing is, there’s more to Green Day than ‘Good Riddance’ – but I can’t hear much more to Adam’s style than that one track.

I think there’s an obvious talent there – but sorry mate, it only extends as far as guitar playing and crafting tunes. The lyrics don’t actually do much – rather they just seem thrown together with no more of a link other than they occasionally rhyme – and the vocals? I think that was pushing things a little to far and you really needed to call in someone who could at least hold a note….

Harsh??

Well, not really, as I think there’s some real promise here – the guitar playing is obviously complex enough to show the talent that lies behind the notes. The songs are simple and pretty well arranged (hoorah for that – it’s a refreshing change to hear a song that only uses one time
signature!!!) and I’d be REALLY interested to hear how they pan out when there’s a full band playing them, with a vocalist who (let’s be honest) can sing……

They could stand to be a little more diverse – but that might happen just with the addition of some more instruments.

Overall – very much a ‘work in progress’ – but I’d be REALLY keen to see what happens in another 6 months or so – keep it up Adam – and keep submitting your stuff for review!
