“Otherside of Clearview” is a extraordinary band up and coming band, out of Fort Collins Colorado. A group of wildly talened young men who are not strangers to writing great music or working hard at their craft, giving up nothing to create their own unique sound of music. I am blown away by the songs here in their debut album they bring us the best of what is out in the music scene today!

The first track, “Space Flight of the Troubadours” … you are barely able to hear the first few tinkling bars of music… the music build here is slow folks, moving onto a drum beat that has your head bopping, toe tapping, you can’t help but want to get up and dance with anyone who is handy … Spectacularly strong vox by Matt Luizza, throughout the album, this kid has a set of lungs on him… proven over and over again in later tracks.
The title track “Sweet Release” starts out strong and then explodes into Rock/Pop music fest, the lyrics only are made better by once again Matt Luizza’s voice… can’t say enough about the talent here…being backed by a well qualified talented band…
“Suicide Polictico” is a beat driven song that changes tempo, but still pushing the beat … love this song, reminiscent of ‘war song’ lyric’s speaking of dissatisfaction or warning lyrics to what is going on in the world… but with better written music than what we heard in past era’s.
“One for the Road” is another one of my favorite tracks on the album, the music and the lyrics swirl around in your head, can’t quite hear enough… with a surprise at the end of the song that will make you put this song and hit replay again and again.

Otherside of Clearview “Sweet Release is a “Outstanding, Stellar ” First Effort! Not a bad song in the bunch!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! “Sweet Release is in my Top Ten for 2009~ These boys are definitely On the Road to success! … listen to the sample below
