TRAGIK- "Crescendo"
Phil Vincent is back with TRAGIK this time and the inspiration is still burning
bright.
Countrified AOR at the BTO cover at "Givin it all away", Big 80s
hook AOR at "Ungrateful" with blazing guitars, Phil Vincent brings the
best of bands like DOKKEN, RAINBOW, TOTO in one compact package. He has
this excellent taste for melody and i wish there was still rock radio
that plays new music cause songs like "Ungrateful",'Living', Beyond the
moonlight" deserves airplay and recognition. He also possess the lost art
of mid tempo ballad, check "Beyond the moonlight' and think of the
BOSTON in their 'heavier' moments.If he was a Scandinavian musician like
Tommy Denander he would be asked for songwriting and participation
but he goes his own prolific way,without mainstream acknowledgment.
Listen
to the emotionally charged "It all comes down to this" and I could name
more than a dozen of modern rock bands that don't have the catchy chorus
and bridge this band has. TRAGIK is tragic they don't get the
recognition they should."Scoop"has a mesmerizing multi layer chorus and a
single beat body, modern AOR with a twist , a truly memorable song
echoing DRIVE SHE SAID ,TOUCH riff based magic. With an astonishing
guitar solo Phil Vincent is more than a prolific musician he has the
gift to create memorable, simple but not simplistic music and Crescendo"
their album number 13 is the living proof of his and his band's talent
and abilities.
Along with him we find Dirk Phillips - Drums,
Percussion, Damian D’Ercole - bass and Vince O’Regan- Lead Guitars. His
BEATLES love is easily detected at "Living', while "Killbox" has a
sharper more guitar driven hard rock style, echoing his 80s metal
influences, especially JUDAS PRIEST, in the same vein of Heavy metal
riffing is "Burn it down'. You also find "Human" a piano led ballad ,
because as we said Vincent knows how to pen a tune, rocking or not .
"All i have is you" is another in your face heavy rock song as it is
"Judas' and at the end of listening you have a modern heavy rock album
with AOR touches that has personality and songs.
Check it out and see
for yourself what this crescendo is all about
