Loudlife were the biggest surprise out of all the albums I was given to review. I typically don't read the inserts that come with the CD's - I try to guess what the album is going to sound like before I color my opinions with anyone else's. That said, I thought that Loudlife were going to be your run of the mill rock band.
Boy was I wrong.
Fronted by a woman that puts most male rock vocalists to shame and a guitarist that has clearly studied his Jimmy Page, Loudlife lulled me in with a sweet guitar riff and then blasted my face off. Almost quite literally. This CD is meant to be played at the highest volume possible.
Lead singer Lorraine Ferro boasts quite an impressive resume - she performs in Loudlife and two other bands. She's a songwriter, voice over actor and songwriting coach. She's written two multi-platinum Gospel hits in the middle of all of that!
Guitarist aka "the guitarsenal" Geoff Sobel provides the hard rocking yet melodic guitar riffs that Loudlife should be known for. It's not often that a song can be beautiful and hard rocking, which is what surprised me most about Loudlife.
Sadly, there are no upcoming tour dates for Loudlife and from their previous schedule it looks like they only tour on the East Coast. The most up-to-date information I've found was via their MySpace
Enjoy these tracks from their only album to date. I hope they come out with new music soon!
