Oversoulss

From time to time, I check sites like garage band, sound click etc. looking for new music. Boy, do I hear a lot of stuff that is hard to listen to.

Thankfully, I have latched onto some bands that are quite telented. The one I want to mention here is Oversoulss. These guys are a four mad band that rocks. A number of their songs can be downloaded from their website. They have a hard driving altrenative/progressive sound that is very refreshing.

While I immesely enjoy the work of guitarist Troy Stetina (I am going through one of his method books), what really sets this group apart for me is the drummer, Eddie Shapankse. He not only keeps the beat and fills in accordingly, he plays the drums. I would liken it to playing rhythm or lead. He always seems to be doing something, not haphazardly a la Keith Moon, but adding things that make the music much more enjoyable. His unique style adds a fresh dimension to the music.

This band would be good with a "normal" drummer, but his style takes them to another level. He plays how a drummer should play
Check 'em out.
