AOR LAND

Just every now and then you get introduced to a band that brings a fresh spirit and a new and unknown dimension to the music you love, making you smile and realizing that you are in front of something really special. Californians Sedona are that special. Their combination of hard rock with classy melodies and 90's vibe makes this, their first full album, that brilliant piece of work that redefines the concept of Melodic Rock for the upcoming millennium. Yes, it might sound really biased but I really love this band.

"Dragonfly" not only has the songs but also a great multimedia content made by the band themselves, with some 360 degree landscapes and a couple of videos. Mike Fox's vocals are like Eddy Vedder singing AOR with spirit...but don't stop reading because this not a bandwagon jumping grunge-like band... quite possibly the opposite.

"Filling up the holes" proves this band has what it takes: power and melody all in one. "Highest Star In Heaven" is also on the same league adding great rhythm acoustic guitars. This song is also in video format in the multimedia content of the cd. Tunes like "My Sacred Garden", the AORish "Crazy" or "Run Wild Horses" will please Melodic fans all over.

Those of you who have been reading this site for some time now will know that I am constantly supporting the bands that make tasty melodic rock with 80's foundations (they have gigged with Rick Springfield, REO, Foreigner or Night Ranger to name a few) but definitely making a bet on the times to come. Sedona are one of these bands. like I have said something special...visit them and end their stocks, they deserve it:
