Luxemburg four-piece Salina will make their way into history books by having released their first CD before even having played one single concert. The strange thing is that the rhythm section consists of Schof on drums (who used to play for hardcore legend Wounded Knee) and Brego on bass (who used to play for the noise rock band BeCause), but Salina has nothing to do with the musical pasts of these two guys. It's hard to describe the music, but alternative emo pop would be a good attempt at first, although if you have seen the band already live, you could as well use the expression 'shoegazer'. Salina may be the brainchild of singer guitar player Thierry, who does not look like your typical rock star, but he sure knows how to write great tunes. His sad and slightly high-pitched vocals together with the distorted, melancholic music sometimes give you the creeps. You can check the band's page on MP3.com where they offer their two best songs 'White & Hot' and 'Over' for free, and if you like these, you shouldn't hesitate to buy this EP-CD, as the band sells it for a really low price. 9 points for one of Luxemburg's most original and refreshingly sad bands of all times. |
