Every once in a while you come across some music you just have to share with your friends that you just know will impress the hell out of them. In my humble opinion it’s not easy sifting through the masses of independent bands to arrive at that one clique that just stands apart from the rest. With that said I would have to recomend a hard listen to a band from Finland that cools the tediousness of that long search.

“I’m Holding,” from Siberian Jay is a fast paced hard hitting pillar of rockitude that gives way to a level of coolness that eagerly shakes the scale of awesome. The drive and rythm that builds this anthem of rock pours from a contribution of solid guitar and wicked drums.

Interludes of well placed breakdowns add to the wealth of musicality that seems to just easily erupt from this band and holds enough change for any attention deficit rockster to hit repeat on a consistent basis that would burn wholes through the compact disc.

“Colorblind” is another song that has an immense amount of coolness as it rides that edgy line of rock while flowing from verse to chorus. One can’t seem to get enough of the wealth of rythm and change as your carried on your virtual chariot of sound weaving across the landscape of a pleasure islnad in a vast ocean of change. While largely different from “I’m Holding”, Siberian Jay has hit the proverbial nail on the head with these two songs.
