Dirty Kluger & Oscar Bell Band Reviews (TBMYDKYWM 2)

Dirty Kluger

With funky guitars, all of the right drum beats and wailing vocals, Dirty Kluger has all of the tools to rock your world. Their sound makes me think of The Doors, and actually makes me feel the need to throw them on a playlist with The Doors. What they have is beautifully different and refreshing in this time where so many bands just sound the same. I love having a different sound to go with my different moods. I'd also like to add that the beginning of "Don't Kill Your Own Buzz" takes me back to Johnny Cash. It really sounds to me like this band has looked to the past for inspirations from many different types of greats and combined them to create something wonderful. When I listen to them, it takes me back to a time when music was pure and beautiful. When musicians weren't afraid to let music be music; a time where guitar and drum solos were frequent. These guys know that their instruments are just as strong a tool as their vocal chords. And, at least by me, this element and bravery in music has been greatly missed. The vocals also differ from the current stereotypical "Rock" lead vocal in a gorgeous fashion. The lead singer has a voice like the sex and butter. Laugh at me, but go on and listen to it and tell me it doesn't give you one of the best feelings in the world (sex) and isn't one of the most unbelievably smooth voices you've heard today (butter). I got you there, didn't I? You're welcome.

Oscar Bell

I found this guy completely by accident when I was voting for a local artist in an online contest. Let me just go ahead and tell you it was one amazingly happy accident. Every time he posts, I get blown away by the magnitude and variety of his talents. I could probably talk about Oscar Bell for days, but I'll try to keep this on the short end. The first thing that got me was his outstanding ability and ease of which he handles a guitar. Let me just go ahead and recommend you watch THIS VIDEO to see what I saw upon first introduction. On top of his great vocals and mind-blowing guitar skills, this guy has a writing talent that I feel even surpasses some of the greats in our recent history. I'm always happy to hear him perform anything, but I much prefer his originals to anything. I'm definitely rooting in his corner, just call me super-fan. His acoustic stuff is my favorite, but he also happens to be pretty talented in the electronic production department, and a lot of his new music reflects that. Don't shoot me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure he's in university now for that very thing. I was recently granted the gift of a golden key pass at a few of his new songs (one cover and one original). And I can tell you that without a doubt, he is continuing to grow as an artist, though I wasn't even sure there was room for growth there. Watching his progression has really been a beautiful thing to experience, and I just can't stress enough that if you haven't heard him, you're missing something truly magnificent. Deprive yourself no longer.
