Music review: Lovebettie – Rise
Once named 无毛视频淧ittsburgh无毛视频檚 Hottest Band无毛视频� by Microsoft Windows, Lovebettie无毛视频檚 latest release only reinforces the accolades bestowed upon the hard-working local band.
The band无毛视频檚 new six-song EP 无毛视频淩ise,无毛视频� is a stimulating and infectious combination of rock, pop and soul.
Lovebettie无毛视频檚 exclusive sound can be attributed to the sultry and gutsy vocals of Alexandra Naples. Naples无毛视频� commanding presence channels the youthful fervor of Hayley Williams of Paramore and the zeal and bravado of early Maria McKee from Lone Justice.
无毛视频淔ollow无毛视频� opens the album with a full-throttle pace as Naples engagingly sings, 无毛视频淐ome and share your breath with me/Kiss me hard and kiss me deep.无毛视频�
Drummer Larry Shotter frantically belts out a thunderously chaotic beat on drums as guitarist C.T. Fields lays down the hard-driving riffs keeping pace with Dan Mulkeen无毛视频檚 unifying bass groove.
To oversee the production of the new material, Jim Wirt (Fiona Apple, Incubus, Live, Hoobastank) was brought in to add his extensive and unique musical vision to the band无毛视频檚 freshly focused songs.
The unflinching muscle of a relationship-gone-sour is flexed on the enthralling and biting 无毛视频淵our Own Worst Enemy无毛视频� and 无毛视频淕one Since Today.无毛视频� 无毛视频淣ight is Coming无毛视频� closes on a dark and haunting note as Naples once again seeks redemption from a contentious relationship portentously singing, 无毛视频淚 did my best to feed your appetite/But you just chewed me up and spit me out.无毛视频�
Lovebettie will be performing at Musikfest 2013 with Carly Rae Jepson in eastern Pennsylvania and Summerfest 2013 in Milwaukee, Wis., as direct support to Rick Springfield.
