Edito de Don't You Get It?Winner of the Best Male Singer/Songwriter in the Classic Rock Category at the 16th Annual Los Angeles Music Awards for Sugar In My Veins: Neville K By Melody Geear: When first hearing this band, one instant vocal recognition came to mind ? Jakob Dylan, lead singer of The Wallflowers and son of Bob Dylan. It?s good to be compared with talented and successful musicians, but Neville has a range all their own. This raspy and old soulful sound draws you in and keeps you wanting more. Mixed with beautiful rhythmic lines and compelling lyrics, Neville is a soulful, eclectic band with a definite present and future in the music world. Originating from South Africa , Neville Klotz formed Neville with talented musicians, Brad Ackland on bass and Peter Guidera on drums. The fusion of rock and folk that is brought by each member of the band creates a genuine combination. There is an underlying theme that runs throughout Neville?s catalog ? belief that honesty can break down all barriers and truth can reveal beauty, although sometimes scarred. ?Hope? shows the rawness of reality with a vocal track, voicing a compelling political and social commentary. Keeping with the same vein, ?Sugar in My Veins? eludes to the same reality with a beautiful melodic sweetness. The band switches gears by cranking up the momentum on ?Hide your Disappointment.? Unlike the previous two, this track is more lively and rock driven. This band shows that you can vary your stylistic range but keep a lyrically symbiotic relationship strong. With such influences as Dave Matthews Band, Harry Connick, Jr. and Counting Crows, one can see how this band has a great collection of artists to strive from and create a following all their own. ---- North East In-Tune FEB '06 Lire la suite
