An intriguing mysterious band... Its slightly dark Indie Melodic Hardcore. If you have no idea what that is, you should just listen. Whatever it is, it pays tribute to its hardcore influences in ways that we can all appreciate. But its too short. We want more." By: The Fevered Brain of RadioMike
Alabaster rained from Chicago onto Seattle in the first days of 2005 like a hail storm. The skies opened up with a flash flood of gritty female fronted punk rock. Clubs filled up with a new sound crowded with Joe's heavily pop influenced guitar riffs slashing with Kate's varying taste in metal and folk rock guitar licks.
Be under the influence of Alabaster, and you'll find yourself addicted to this melodic hardcore rock. Listen close enough, and you'll hear Taking Back Sunday shaken not stirred, with a splash of Evanescence, topped with four over-stuffed olives spilling the sounds of Atreyu, and Rise Against. This is one cocktail you'll be stumbling through a crowded room for more over and over again…
£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!
