Paul Alan (Nouveaux singer) - Drive it home.

[Guest rtz]

the other big suprise was Elektrik which just by chance was another christian band.

They're a christian band? Really? Is this the same band who released 'Love Buzz Harmony' or something like that? A few fillers, but overall a great band and great disc with a few outright killers. I wouldn't have picked they were a christian band, though...

 

I believe Tracie Farrie (stryper) was the bass player at time for Electrik. Yes they were a Christian band

I used to have Elektrik "Love Buzz Harmony." While they weren't over the top with their message, they were definitely a Christian band. A pretty good indie one at that. I remember there being a killer ballad on it but can't remember the song title for the life of me.

I still have Elektrik: "Love Buzz Harmony" (the reissue w/bonus tracks). As others have said, they were definitely a Christian band, though honestly, not much in their lyrics would give them away. The killer ballad Chris (hardrockhaven) was referring to is called "Never Too Much" and it is easily one of the best ballads ever to emerge from the Christian rock/metal scene.

I must say, i was a little dissappointed by this when i got it... just didnt seem to live up to the debut... but at least im still listening to it unlike other 08 releases... and im really enjoying it.

This guy's Christian and I just don't deal with Christians. Unless they're Matt. Or Mark. And handsome. And they like to stroke my hair.

Yep, and so are Stryper and Holy Soldier. And a million other clueless clowns I listen to (including every modern hard rock band in existence).

Geoff, buddy, did you just refer to Christians as "clueless clowns"? Are you trying to piss me off, or do you just enjoy seeing me launch into one of my pro-faith rants? I swear, I would kick you right in the chin, but then Matt would have nowhere to rest his balls.

This was a grower but now to me it's just as good as his first solo cd.

 

Hard to describe his music its a mixture of modern sounding pop/rock/aor, If I like Paul Alan who else might I like?

 

I really enjoyed enjoyed Noveaux and though I primarily like guitar based music I didnt really miss it from his solo stuff (well there is guitar there its just not as prominent).

He's a nice guy. Lives in Queensland somewhere. I really should get this album. Its really nice catchy melodic pop rock in the Paul Alan vibe... just dont expect him to have any influences form our genre... cos he doesnt!

Yeah Matt I got in touch with Simon last year after you told me about his music and he sent me a CD a few days later. Nothing at all heavy, just some really nice pop/rock songs. And yes, recommended to fans of Paul Alan.

Thanks for the recommendation, on initial listen I thought the music was ok so I'll keep revisitng his myspace page and see if it grows on me.

 

Cheers.
