"...easy comparisons to old Nirvana and Subpop bands from back in the day. With their feel for the current alternative music scene and the ability to take the mundane sound and push it out of the mix, Song of the Siren is definitely a band to keep your eye on in 2008."
-- Guestlist Magazine
"...tunes that sway from chaotic to calm, topped with a voice that bounces from siren sweet to punk rough...a unique alternative rock experience."
-- Campus Circle
"...an elastic, expressive voice..."

ABOUT SOS
SOS frontwoman, Isul Kim, just might be the first major female rockstar of Korean descent. Infused with the grit of her New York City upbringing, armed with a Harvard degree, and raised on classical piano, Isul brings a unique perspective to Song of the Siren's brand of alternative rock.
After a two years as a touring solo artist, Isul partnered up with young drummer Anthony Petrocchi in July 2007 to create Song of the Siren. Just after finishing up their first recording in 2008 (bass tracks by Eric Alonzo), Song of the Siren incorporated Steve Muscatell on lead guitar and Tim Guandalini on bass, who helped with regional tours to promote the debut album. Now, Isul and Anthony forge ahead together with newly inspired musical vision.
SOS's story is just beginning...
DEBUT ALBUM, "City Lights Are Blinding You" OUT NOW!
Song of the Siren's upcoming debut, City Lights Are Blinding You, is a no-frills showcase of the band's ever-growing abilities. Their unique sound unraveled before their very ears as their fresh, catchy songs were warmed to a timeless glow by vintage sensibility. Recorded live to 2” tape at John Vanderslice's Tiny Telephone studio in San Francisco in fall 2007, Song of the Siren and producer Garry Ventura were fortunate to be assigned to work with engineer Justin Phelps (Cake, Mars Volta). Phelps invited the band to finish their record at his own studio, Hyde Street Studio C, which had hosted bands like CCR and Jefferson Airplane. Finally, their record was mastered at the renowned The Plant Studios by recording guru John Cuniberti (Satriani, Neville Brothers). The album is currently out -- CD's available for purchase online, and at select Northern, CA record stores: Rasputin, Amoeba and Streetlight Records (at select locations).
