Eden Star: Kiss & Tell
Best music is often found while in the bathtub and
Eden Star is no exception. The group, best described
as early punk with David Bowie vocals, is Intense in
every regard. There’s a hard edge that is enlivened
by the earnest lyrics and energy put forth by the
band. The whole album plays like a jolt of electricity
flowing through the veins. “ Come Tomorrow” Is a
beautiful loud start to a truly hard rocking album.
This band draws their roots from Glam Rock and you can
hear it, it’s not false advertising.
Another local (read: New Jersey based) band, Eden Star
harvests the best of the 70s rock movement with a
modern edge. The lyrics are classic with backup in all
the right spaces blending with the instrumental
seamlessly. You won’t find any screaming or screaching
feedback on this album.
The only real downside to the album is that it’s just
an EP. After six songs, you’re just left wanting more.
Daniel, Eden Star’s lead vocalist, puts enough heart
and soul into the lyrics to paint pictures remniscient
of a more hard rock Tom Petty. Murad, Nielsen, Kat,
and Joe breathe greater life into the music by working
with the vocals. Together, two give birth to something
greater than the parts, which is hard to find in
today’s music. “Lucky One” is my pick for hit single
if I ever heard one. Daniel’s vocals are awe inspiring
and uplifting.
