Persmededeling

Do you think one can write one's own bio without either sounding too swanky or too modest Not sure really, it's furious balancing, so why even bother. We'll just give it a go anyway.

We're Soon.
Soon has energy. Soon has an edge. Well at least that's what we're trying to pursue.
Founded somewhere in '96, our band hads gone through quite a few changes. Different band members have been replaced. Different styles have been played. Gradually evolving, things have become more serious. You know, the usual stuff, music taking shape ... The current line-up was defined about a year and a half ago. This marked the beginning of a process that brought us to where we find ourselves now, being an ambitious band determined to make headway with our songs.

Our ingredients to so are: roaring, explosive guitars dipped in a melodic structure, a careful mix of fragile and solid fragments to prepare a powerful sound, a spoonful of frenzy and a fair amount of passion and drive. Spiced up with some Fugazi, Kashmir, Reiziger, Sonic Youth, ...

Some people who've appreciated our menu so far are: a jury for the contest called "Rockvonk", which we finished third last spring, a few enthusiasts at Studio Brussels who were so kind to give us airplay in "De Bom", and the "Radar" demo poll just recently ...

Rather than to bore you with eleborate yet vague descriptions of style and influence, we'd sugget you let the demo do the talking. If you can enjoy our music and want to sign, book or support us in any way, or you just want to air your opinion, you can always reach us at sooncontact@hotmail.com.

Mijn Mening

"Wow", was zowat mijn eerste reactie bij het beluisteren op deze demo. En ook na een pak draaibeurten is de reactie nog steeds "Amai".
Soon zit immers weliswaar in de branche "breien met gitaren", maar doet dat met een power, enthousiasme en overtuigingskracht die echt wel naar de keel grijpt. "Emorock" zal het genre wel zijn, maar dan wel emorock met ballen. Reiziger, Sonic Youth & Fugazi, hun zelfgeciteerde voorbeelden zijn echt wel van toepassing, want als je die drie zou kruisen kom je recht uit bij het groepsgeluid en de energie van Soon.
Ik ga "Insidious" nog vaak opzetten, denk ik, met die fantastische explosie in het middenstuk en de dramatische terugschakeling naar een lage versnelling daar vlak achter. "Cold" en "We go down under fire" hebben iets meer moeite om de spanning op te bouwen, maar beiden bezitten voldoende melodie en power om te boeien. Hope to year more from them, soon ...
