Arts & Entertainment Connexions

Let me tell you about a group that spend the last 3 years overseas giving fans a real treat; Edison. This group has a sound that, at times, made me think I was listening to Rage Against the Machine then 30 Seconds to Mars then something different, yet effective due to their superb use of effects. I mean, it was like they packed a stadium sized concert experience in the single room of Phoenix Hill Tavern which was a wise decision based on the number of show goers that packed the place.

Ethan, the lead vocalist, sets himself up for giving his all which is clear by the way he visually soaks into the music. Jonathan and Joey, the guitarists play well together and separately at a rhythm and lead tug of war that works beautifully. Anton fires away nicely on his bass and I give props to drummer Todd. Todd can multitask between drumming and working some audio effects for the other instruments, finding a way to keep rhythm by doing it simultaneously. It was cool to watch them come together flawlessly.
I would have liked to have spent more time with the band members after the show but don’t worry, I’ll get a full fledged article of them for you soon. You just need to check out their site at EdisonRock.com. Well done guys. When you get a break from your extensive tour come through here again. I’d like to see you play alongside 650 North if I had a request.
