EP Review: The Eiffels - The Eiffels

Combining the best elements of bands like Duran Duran, Erasure, and Level 42, The Eiffels have released an exceptional self titled EP. The Eiffles are a synth-rock group with serious talent. They have a sound rooted in 80s synth rock with a modern lyrical twist. And while the band would have fared very well in the 80s, they are poised for greatness in this decade as well.

Toe tapping, head bobbing, plain old fun music is what the Eiffels produce on lead track, “I’m Ready.” This song is guaranteed to get feet moving right out of the gate. “I’m Ready,” is a synth filled fun song with a great beat and high quality. While it is short and sweet (clocking in at 2:42), the song packs a solid punch. Quality over quantity---the way every song should be.

“City All Night,” is a fantastical ode to the youthful. Partying in the city all night with no curfew and no real agenda is the theme of this song---a fun theme to say the least. To be young and exuberant, with no cares in the world as the city is stormed all night, bar to bar, and place to place, is a feeling of ecstasy. The Eiffels capture that feeling in a three minute ode to happiness and youthful freedom. “City All Night” is undoubtedly my favorite song on this EP. It’s just a song that reminds us how to have fun and enjoy life once in awhile without being so uptight.

The grand music continues on the third track, “More.” Another pumped up, synth-pop anthem destined to be enjoyed by thousands upon thousands of ears. “More” builds on the music from the previous two songs and ups the ante just a bit. A faster paced enjoyable explosion of music captivates the listener and solidifies The Eiffels as a terrific band.

“I Did It Now” is the final track of the EP and it rounds out the collection nicely. Filled with several catchy synth hooks, solid vocals, and a groove that sticks in your head, “I Did It Now” is a great closer to an exceptional EP. The fast paced, dance beat is a lot of fun and The Eiffels close out their EP in style with this tune.

Although short and sweet, The Eiffels is a grand EP worthy of multiple listens, especially on a hot summer night when the partying atmosphere is at its finest.  The Eiffels have an exceptional sound and quality. I have a feeling that we are going to be hearing a lot of great things about this band in the coming months.

The Vantage - Place In The Water

Here’s a rocking/pop/indie song from The Vantage: “Place In The Water.” This band has an Imagine Dragons sound and feel, and this single is highly enjoyable. Check it out for yourself.

Hannah Gill - I Feel Awake

Here is an excellent song from Hannah Gill. “I Feel Awake” sounds like a blend of Adele, Nora Jones, and Florence and the Machine. This addictive single is one that you are bound to listen to over and over again.

Hannah Gill…you rock!

Down With Webster Announces US Tour With Johnny Craig

Toronto, ON - Toronto-based pop-rock-rap group, Down With Webster, is thrilled to announce their upcoming U.S. tour with Jonny Craig, Kyle Lucas, and Captain Midnite! The band is currently finishing up their current tour with Timeflies and will be heading out on the road with Jonny Craig starting on January 14th in West Hollywood, CA. See below for the full list of dates. Down With Webster have recently been in the studio working on new music with Matt Squire (Ariana Grande, Panic! At The Disco, 3OH!3) to follow up their latest album Party For Your Life. For more information on Down With Webster, please visit: www.downwithwebster.com

From their first performance at a high school talent show, Down With Webster have created their own flavor of genre-bending sounds, and blown away audiences ever since.  After winning the "Best Unsigned Band" recognition from Rogers Mobile, DWW attracted attention from record labels, and musical heavyweights including Sir Richard Branson, Timbaland, and KISS front man Gene Simmons. Today, the group is built of two emcees (Cam Hunter & Bucky), a DJ (Diggy), a charismatic lead singer (Pat Gillett), and one of the most talented rhythm sections in the game (Andrew "Marty" Martino on drums, Tyler Armes on bass/keys). One might describe their sound as hip-hop with a hint of electro-alternative, delivered by a kick ass rock band.

In the few years since practicing in their parents garage, Down With Webster's songs have charted at Top40 Radio, amassed more than 500,000 Facebook likes, sold 900,000 downloads and 100,000 albums. Their videos have been streamed over 15 million times, and they've rocked hundreds of shows. It's their tireless pursuit of creating the greatest party on stage that has won them loyal believers coast to coast, and earned them this description from UPVENUE Magazine: "It's like taking a handful of fireworks, lighting them, then throwing them in to a barrel of fireworks."  

Because their music defies classification, and they've been called "the second coming of The Beastie Boys," Down With Webster has earned the respect of, and both shared the stage with, and performed with, LMFAO, Timbaland, Ludacris, Lil Jon, 3OH!3 and even KISS.

Down With Webster's new album Party For Your Life debuted as the #1 digital album in Canada (#2 overall on the charts), and enlisted collaborators Ludvin (Childish Gambino), Boi-1da (Drake, Eminem), and have reunited with production duo The Maven Boys (Meek Mill, Childish Gambino) to help them continue their twist of conventional music genres.  Songs from the album have already been licensed by NBC's hit show "The Voice," as well as CBC for the 2014 Winter Olympics. The band also recently wrapped up a U.S. tour with Hoodie Allen this past spring.
