I was very confused when I logged onto Twitter and experienced the new layout for the first time. All I really wanted to see was who this new follower was that I had gained in the night. Luckily for me, this new follower was WELL worth braving the latest Twitter change. Who was this follower you ask? Alan Reitman, singer of the band Cold For June.
Of course the first thing I did was click the link to his band's Facebook and BOY was I glad I did. This pop/rock group from Detroit is making some great stuff. Not in the same way as your usual rock band (though they do have the crashing guitars, smashing drums and various amazing vocals down) but in a whole new way. Amongst the typical pop/rock instrumentation, there are synths and orchestral instruments that bleed through and take center stage.
I love the way it sounds and how it all comes together and it reminds me of what Set It Off is going for (orchestral pop) only I think Cold For June might be achieving it better. (Sorry SIO. I freaking adore you boys nonetheless.) Anyway, I'm truly digging what their doing. Alan Reitman, along with guitarist/vocalist Matthew Sykora, lead guitarist Nick Reitman, bassist Ace Fowler and drummer Chad *Insert Last Name Here* are like a match made in music heaven.
I very much look forward to what these boys have in store, and you should too. Consider them added to my list of bands that need to get to Austin ASAP.
