LV KIX Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 What a great live show they put on about a month ago in New York City. They will be back in The States in May... Make sure you catch a show if it is in your area. Looking forward to the new release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Man those two new songs completely run rings around the stuff off their already very nice debut. I absolutely love the heavier and more modern sound/style. One of the best blends of "hair metal" and modern metal I've heard. Cannot wait for this album to drop. Oh, and my my those boys are pretty. On a purely superficial level, nice to see a cool looking band when half the musicians we listen to look like they should be making enquiries into availability at their local retirement village.

Nightrain Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 on the contrary, I wish they stick to the 80s sound and drop the modern touch, sounds gonna be a good album but probably not too great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLPRocks Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Those songs rocked and kicked ass in any era........not sure what crack people are smokin' calling them 'modern'....other than they were produced recently. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it's definitely there. @ Nightrain, they could have been safe and released another version of their debut, but as good as that was there was something missing there. Nothing stood out and their sound was very good without being amazing. I feel like this much heavier new sound, which seems to have come with a huge anthemic approach too... it all sounds very very nice to me.

Stefan Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I might be thick but what does EPK stand for?? Yep, you're thick... Electronic Press Kit. From wikipedia: An electronic press kit (EPK) is a press kit equivalent in electronic form. An EPK usually takes the form of a website or e-mail, though they are also known to exist in CD and DVD form. The first known EPK, as we know it today, premiered live on the web on January 8, 1995 and was invented and given the exact name electronic press kit or EPK by Andre Gray, the inventor of online music sales certifications and winner of The Johannes Gutenberg Inventor Prize. Gray's EPK featured a bio, audio clips, videos, photos, press, set list, basic technical requirements, and a calendar and featured R&B singer and songwriter Aaron Hall as the first artist ever to have an EPK created on their behalf.

I think heavy and modern are two different things, the riffs pattern probably defines it, but Santa Cruz' new songs are probably 80% classic and 20% modern, I don't mind them at all, it's just that I'm afraid it's gonna be decent for me as I kinda hate modern metal but no judgement until the full product arrives and at least 3 spins sink in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure Goeff is suggesting that 'heavy' and 'modern' go hand-in-hand, rather that this falls on the heavier side of the Modern Rock sound.

Heavy metal was around well before modern metal arrived. It just has that style - being a huge fan of modern hard rock / metal - that I hear all over my modern collection, and nowhere in my "traditional" hard rock collection. I can't explain it to a T as I'm not a musician, but for me it's very obvious. Let's just say that typically 80's sounding bands like Vega or HEAT do not sound like Santa Cruz at all.

DaHun72 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 What, like 80s Kiss vs Stanley's solo album Live To Win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 What, like 80s Kiss vs Stanley's solo album Live To Win? To an extent, but I didn't think 'Live to win' was that "modern" at all. That was like Loverboy's early discography compared to 'Just getting started.' I wouldn't call them overly "modern" discs. They still well and truly, 100% sounded like the artists involved, but they were just "updated," for lack of a better word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEAT is 80s sounding....but Vega? Wow not even close. They are far more modern sounding than Santa Cruz imo. Thats what sets them (Vega) apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 But I get what you say in that the new Santa Cruz has a modern element to the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Vega, modern? Really? I'd never really even considered that. I guess maybe. I guess I'm just looking at it from the heavier end of the spectrum with regard to Santa Cruz. That kind of hard hitting wall of metal sound is far more modern to me than the brand of heavy metal you'd hear from an 80's heavy metal band. I'll put it this way. Santa Cruz sound a lot more like Bullet For My Valentine than Megadeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I think the new Vega album is very modern sounding. And Im glad of it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightrain Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 hm funny I didn't hear any modern arrangement in VEGA at all, modern sound in terms of production touch maybe Glen ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Planet Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Sounds good even if there is a little modern touch......I'll get it when it comes out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
