Rantings of Eva (listen to podcast)
"With a buttery smooth, vocally-centered sound, Rantings of Eva rapidly made a name for themselves on the local music circuit in Atlanta, and has kept their reputation pristine for the past six years by delivering performances of the highest caliber every single time they hit a stage. With an emphasis on dramatic and sumptuous music, Rantings of Eva delivers the type of sound you won’t find from any other band available to you today, unsigned or not. They practice the elusive technique of variety in their music, making each song quite different from the rest, a feat not easily or readily accomplished by the majority of mediocre bands in the pool today, and that’s what sets Rantings of Eva apart from everyone else you’ve heard.
Rantings of Eva has added appeal, as they cater to the taste of music fans across genres from alternative to pop to those who love a more obscure “indie” feel – it matters not who is listening, only that they’re responding in a positive way, and for very good reason.
Rantings of Eva’s latest recording was done with Jason Elgin of Synchromesh Studios (Wayne, Haste, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster). Lowering the Curtain on Memphis boasts a collection of tunes that are tried and true. A testament to this is the fact that the track “Infrared” has been on the top of Garage Band’s Alternative Rock Chart for a number of weeks and remains there still. They’re also the only band to have not one, but two tracks (“Still Holding On”) currently listed in the top 20. The newest single, “Bright Side,” has received accolades from bloggers and Internet streamed radio, such as Break Thru Radio and Cable & Tweed.
Southeast print publications are buzzing about Rantings, as well. Their live performances were featured in the October 2006 and January 2007 issues of Southeast Performer."
In my mind, Rantings of Eva has accomplished something many bands today struggle with. Having the ability to produce songs that each have a very unique air about them. From hearing their tracks, it's evident that listeners will be able to sit through their new record (soon to be released) without sensing any redundancy of any kind.
Check out their myspace HERE and keep an eye out for the release date of their record!
