InfluencesFeatured Press:
"Well these bad ass rock stars have blossomed with their newest album. They have compiled the perfect mix of lyrics and music ones ears can hear. The title track "Send Me To The End" is exhilarating, offering some wild guitar work, rambunctious drumming and an addictive chorus. Some interesting electronic techniques show up on "Soundtrack To Nothing". It's also filled with splendid drumming, spectacular lyrics and some quirky guitar work not to mention tight bass riffs. A drastic change of pace brings the soft, serene, easy going "Rain" which is brilliant and showcases their musical versatility. This is a tremendously good album jam packed with so many different musical aspects your ears will be yearning to hear it over and over again."
- Geoff Dellinger; Entertainment World

The record is powered by a strong rhythm section accompanied with strong guitars and a powerful singer to keep the melodies hanging on within your head once they have taken their first spin. A CD that will send you into orbit, around the planet and out of space.
- LionsPrideMusic.com (Denmark)

"...Whatever it is, man it rocks. Crunchy riffs and powerful vocals, at times pensive and at other times at your throat, dynamics are the name of the game. And they do it well. MISH MASH Mandate: Dynamically Emotic"
- Mish Mash Music Reviews (http://mashmusic.tripod.com/)

"Back-to-back-to-back home runs. Lyric [content] worthy of R.E.M. in its prime... Not only is this band enormously powerful, the songs have substance and depth as well, and that is a potent combination indeed. Must be something about the water in Florida..."

   About berman

Not many bands are able to produce multiple albums without the help of a record label, and even fewer can keep their musical integrity in the process. Then again, Berman just makes it look easy.

The melodic yet hard-rock act will officially release its third album, Send Me to the End, on April 14, Good Friday at Backbooth in downtown Orlando. The CD is anticipated to be their best work.

The CD is not a departure from the previous two albums, but rather the climax of five years of relentless dedication. The music intuitively strikes a near-impossible balance between quality musicianship and live feel.

Based out of a home studio in Orlando, the five members write, record, book shows, promote and perform all on their own. What makes them even more remarkable is that all the members either work and/or attend college full time, all while carving out their own niche in the rock music scene.

Berman fans can rest assured that the band is not behind the curve of distinction. On the contrary, they are merely waiting for the music industry to catch up.

Our debut CD entitled Big, Loud Drums is now available.

http://www.cafepress.com/roncollins.398338954

Tampa Taiko is a professional drumming duo that has performed their unique style for a vast array of audiences, performing at festivals, concert halls, schools, workshops, summer camps, corporate and VIP events. Using a collection of taiko drums made by themselves from discarded wine barrels, Tampa Taiko has developed a dynamic fusion of old and new styles of drumming, bringing a contemporary vibrance to an ancient martial artform.
