Syrym - Babylon AD

Just came across the website for a new band from Ron Freschi. They have some songs recorded, but no official release yet. I'll be looking forward to this.

Oakland, California—May 16, 2008—Bay Area rock band Syrym, winners of eight awards on Garageband.com, have had their song, “Foul Mouth Blues,” selected as the indie music website’s Hard Rock Track of the Day for May 17, 2008. Track of the Day winners are selected based on reviews by musicians and music fans, with the best-reviewed song on a particular day receiving the nod. The band and song are then featured on a subsequent day.

The band also received honors in the Hard Rock category for Best Male Vocals, Best Guitars, Best Drums, Best Bass, Best Production, Best Lyrics, Best Beat, and Most Rocking Track.

“Foul Mouth Blues” is a slithering, angst-ridden, defiant declaration of the end of an abusive relationship. Musically, the song is a throwback to the sound of the heavy melodic rock groups of the late 1980s and early 1990s—bands like Lynch Mob, Ratt, Mötley Crüe, and fellow Bay Area rock stalwarts Babylon A.D.

Formed at the end of 2007 by vocalist Jeffrey Winslow and Babylon A.D. founding member/guitarist Ron Freschi, Syrym combines elements of the modern hard rock sound with the melody and bombast of hard rock’s heyday.

I discovered their website last night. Pretty good stuff. I'll be sure to pick up the CD.

Right on! Man, where were these riffs on the last Babylon AD album? The singer is a bit weak, though. Derek Davis KO1!

The vocal melodies on Bring It On - Go Down Fighting are really odd. I don't like that song as much, but otherwise, I'm really digging this.

"The Sky Is Falling" pales next to the Babylon AD version.

Just ordered this one. $10 from CD Baby. The samples on CD Baby sound good. I didn't find the vocals lacking like I did in the past. Maybe MySpace had demos? I don't know. The guy definitely isn't as good as Davis, though, but he does sound good.

I like'em, I actually exchanged a few emails with 'em because they found my music blog talking about Babylon AD.

I've been meaning to pick this one up.

Man, nobody reads my blog. What the hell? I'm so sad.

Not many read either of mine! And those that do, surely don't comment.
