On my mission to support local music, I found that SpokesBUZZ is an amazing music program that fosters the talent of growing Denver musicians. Eldren and Red Fox Run have both been part of that program. As has Shatterproof. I got some surprises while getting all of my ducks in a row for this review, but I think you'll find a happy place with at least one of these bands. This is some great underground music, regardless of the surprises.
Eldren:
Hippy
They classify themselves as “Psychadelic Space Pop” and I couldn’t agree more. This music is very free-spirited and it feels good for the soul. They have some trippy intros, but they go well with the rest of the song they belong to. It isn’t something I could listen to just any time, but when in the right mood, this music can really leave me feeling light and carefree, and maybe even a little more lovable. Some of their tracks are even what I would describe as super pop, that nods to a different decade.
Red Fox Run:
There’s something about denver vocalists that tug at my heart. The way they form their words has a similarity to it, just like speech from any area. Within the first five seconds of listening to “Didn’t see you there” My mind morphed to Isaac Slade of The Fray and his ability to touch my soul with simple delivery of an everyday word. Daniel has that power within him as well. However, I’ve heard him sound like a few different artists that hold a beloved spot in my heart. For instance, at some point, I thought to myself… this guys voice really sounds like the lead vocalist of NEEDTOBREATHE and at some points, the music reminds me of band of horses. I’m not trying to box this band up into how they sound like so many other artists. Because as a whole, their sound is something unique and beautiful. I’m simply telling you where my brain went while falling for this band. I think if you like The Fray, Taking Back Sunday, Constantines, bands that have strength in being mellow, you’re really going to love this band also.
They list their genre as Rock, indie, alternative, which is fitting. And I like that they didn’t try to get too specific with classifying themselves because throughout their discography, the sound does vary a bit. So this generalized classification fits them well.
I found both of these bands on the SpokesBUZZ website, which is a GREAT place to find amazing Colorado music. I really want to thank this organization for promoting their local music and I actually found it through a band I reviewed in the past, Shatterproof.
