What People Are Saying:

“…what is most striking and makes this album hang around long after the lights are turned off is that Stephens knows his way around a song, taking his cues equally from McCartney, Lennon and Harrison and, principally, writing on piano. This songs would hold up if it they were just voice and piano, even though they are full embellished with instrumental attention. Delicious, slow yet soaring, yet simple melodies all over.” – Bruce Brodeen – Not Lame Recordings

"Stories For Copper" is a melodic and lyrically uplifting release that many Power Pop lovers will absolutely devour.” – Whitsbrain.com

“Dave Stephens doesn't just play music, he pours it through your speakers into your head. Each track tells a beautiful story, and it literally embraces you.” - Radio Arizona

“First-rate songs, heavenly harmonies, and an uncomplicated delivery make this one another winner!” – KoolKatMusik.com

“His writing style rivals that of big named musicians while still being able to hold his own and showcase a unique blend of raw emotion. If you're looking for something with a soft, classic vibe with that feel of musicians such as Billy Joel/Elton John/James Taylor/Paul McCartney then your going to like this material.”
– Shipwreck Island Studios

New Stories For Copper Review!!

Read latest review at www.powerofpop.com

"With the kind of melodic prowess that the likes of Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Emitt Rhodes, Badfinger, Queen, Styx and 10cc would be dead chuffed to possess, Stephens throws out strapping tunes and pleasing arrangements with deftness and intelligence that belies his relative anonymity...." read more...

"Dave Stephens is just the kind of artist that fits perfectly into our radio show. He would fit nicely on anyone's stereo. This Canadian artist struck as as an artist who falls into the Emitt Rhodes school of pop. We dont.. like to compare one artist to another and although he doesn..t actually sound like Rhodes or Paul McCartney or Ali Thomson for that matter - either way - Dave Stephens is the real deal. His songs are infectous.""His melodies are chock full of hooks, yet the easy use of rubato, syncopation and other musical devices reveal his high level of musicianship."-The Time Machine Radio Show. Very Highly Recommended!!

* Group must have an outstanding lead vocalist.

Thanks a lot for the add ! EletriKa 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 EletriKa out!

Hugs from Brazil,
