The Name consists since the millennium change and with this third album, they prove that they are here to stay by creating a style of their own. A style, that is a mix of pop, rock and metal with female and male vocals. Some really exciting moments are coming your way during these nine songs. Death grunts, rap parts, loud riffs, and catchy chorusses constantly change and ask for your attention. The Name consists of Hadassa Kosten on vocals, Silas on guitar and background vocals, Fabio on guitar (he’s new in the band), Mike on bass and Salvador on drums. What’s in a name, I hear you say. As long as these five people know how to play excentric songs like "Lies", it’s fine by me. "Lies" is just one example of the enormous variation of styles, you will find back in only one song. There are speed changes all over the place, which makes this album even more enjoyable to listen to. There’s never a dull moment around and I think, that this band will be able to create a great party when playing live. The only thing, that they need now is to get some recognition. Well, with this great album, they definitely get that from me. To give this album the full score is perhaps a bit too early, but they’re just a fraction away from it. Great music from four well-talented musicians, who don’t care about hypes, trends or hitsingles. They just want to give their music some dimension and vision and there is nothing wrong with that. Give them a chance and buy their album, they surely deserve it. Website: http://www.thename.nl
