Here is a truly distinct voice in today&#8217;s rock scene.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Acclaim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eurovox&#8217;s debut CD &#8220;This is &#8230; Eurovox&#8221; was declared one of 2005&#8217;s top releases in a vote by Get Out Magazine\/Tribue newspapers. The print and online media were effusive in their support of the music &#8211; in fact, Mod Radio UK lavished praise via a track-by-track analysis. (The band has this point to make: &#8220;Let the music speak for itself!&#8221;) Eurovox has opened for such leading artists as Supergrass, Shiny Toy Guns and The Vacations and also put in an appearance at the 2005 Freedom Festival in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Work<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eurovox is always putting its sweat and labor into the band&#8217;s music. The group recently completed its much-anticipated sophomore effort, &#8220;Now! Here! This!&#8221; . The new disc features ten new handcrafted eurovox songs and a surprise cover track. Prior to the official release tracks one and two, Underground sound\/Victoria, started recieving airplay with several additional songs getting attention soon after. Every cut on the CD provides the listener with another audio window into the world of Eurovox.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Return to Roots<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There has been a sweep of sound on the radio lately looking back to classic sounds; paramount among purveyors is Eurovox. &#8220;This is a return to roots, back to when I was a kid growing up in the streets of London and the Southeast England,&#8221; says band member Mat Hammond. Bandmate Jiv Tellez also exudes such enthusiasm. &#8220;Basically, I&#8217;m an Anglophile. I love the 70s Brit movement and, of course, the original Mod scene.&#8221; Eurovox member Stiv Flores shares the nostalgia. &#8220;Music brings back memories of the good and bad times, giving me a direction for the future.&#8221; And while Eurovox&#8217;s music is a hearkening back to rock glory days, it&#8217;s music reflects that future-thinking drive; the band has captured a classic flavor and reinterpreted it in a fresh, new way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fuel for Passion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This nostalgic power and hope for music&#8217;s future provides ample fuel for Eurovox&#8217;s songwriting force. &#8220;Music lets me express myself no holds barred,&#8221; says Tellez. &#8220;A Eurovox song gives people three minutes to get into our lives and return the favor.&#8221; Beyond the strength of love and memory, Hammond says he and his bandmates find muse food in the beyond that is existence. &#8220;I&#8217;m inspired by everything and anything and even nothing.&#8221; Flores puts it simply: &#8220;Be true to yourself and play what you believe in and enjoy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Review<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;In the recent wave of bands recapturing the glory days of the modern era of rock, Eurovox stands among the best and brightest.&#8221; &#8211; A&amp;R Select<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BEN-CD-014 &#8211; September 8, 2007 Tracks: 1.
