HERE COMES THE FLOOD-REVIEW:
Chicago trio Voice Of Addiction is a band that gives a fuck. Their EP Re-evolution is about unhip subjects like Broken Homes and Broken Bones and the CIA The Walls.
If you want people to listen to politically charged lyrics, you better use a rhythm that makes they wantna dance pumping their fists in the air. Enter The Clash inspired punk ska and you are half way there. Too bad that singer is Ian Tomele no match for the lamented Joe Strummer. Kudos for trying so hard, though.
AR: What made you guys decide to get really political with your music?
V.O.A.: It wasn't a conscious decision; it just came out of us naturally. If we are going to be playing and performing music we think we should talk and sing about everyday issues that effect all of us, not just how my girlfriend dumped me throw a pity party for me type of music that has become so popular as of late. As a band our main goal is to provoke thought and shed light on subjects that are often ignored. There has been a major trend toward suppression of free thought as of late. We are hoping to counterbalance this to a point where free thought expression is no longer just an idea, but has manifested itself into something tangible that we can all relate to.
AR: Would you ever consider changing your music to more mainstream to gain more popularity?
V.O.A.: As a band we are constantly progressing, if you listen to our full-length it sounds completely different than our EP. If you listen to the EP to our newer material we have again progressed toward something. Also Steve joined the Band in January, since we are a three-piece this is a big change in our song writing and structuring of songs. I think progression of a band is natural and needs to keep happening in order to keep the band healthy and alive. However, I would never change our sound because a record company or so forth wanted me to. We do this because we have fun on stage, if we didn't play music that we wanted to that made us happy to play what would be the point.
AR: Where would you like to see the band at 5 years from now?
V.O.A.: We are primarily a live band; this is where we shine. I would love to take VOA beyond North America by this time and not only hit Europe but be able to play across the globe.
Since the band started in 2003, they’ve released four albums and toured up and down the East Coast and throughout the Midwest. They tour often as possible because they “live to gig.” Currently the band is searching for a new drummer to join them, so all you talented drummers in the Chicago area check the band out on MYSPACE or their official website for additional information
