"The Miskreants - Broken... But Still Beating CD Review"

These days it is easy for some bands to get lost in the shuffle. A band that has been sandwiched between my recent playlist of Jack Blades, Van Halen, Shinedown, Accept, Halestorm, and Adrenaline Mob, are The Miskreants (Los Angeles, CA).

The Miskreants will soon be releasing their debut album, Broken... But Still Beating. With the release of their recent video clip, “Someone Like You” (Adele cover), I knew I needed to check these guys out. After giving Broken... But Still Beating a few plays, I hear a variety of influences. The best way I could describe the band is a modern pop rock band with classic and vintage influences. I would describe the bands' sound as a fusion of punk, rock, 80's singles, and 50's style. With that said however the sound is somehow amazingly streamlined and it just seems to all blend together in a beautiful gravy tasting concoction!

I have read where The Miskreants have been compared to Social Distortion, and I would agree that there are some songs on Broken... But Still Beating that could easily fit on an Social D record. The songs “Ride The Sky”, “A Year's Time” definitely fit that style.

Some of my favorites on this CD are “Ride The Sky”, “Upside Down”,and “Save Yourself”. There really isn’t a bad song in the bunch.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a major label signed The Miskreants. They are far better than many of the bands you hear on FM radio today. I truly have been enjoying their CD, Broken... But Still Beating, and I think you will too.

"The Miskreants - Live @ Whisky Richard's, SB"

This is the second time I've come to see The Miskreants play at Santa Barbara's local live music watering hole Whisky Richard's. The first time was a fortunate accident, as I hadn't heard of the band before. This time my attendance was definitely planned, and the LA pop rockers didn't let me down. They played a sweaty, energetic set to a busier than usual Sunday night crowd. The show was equally as impressive as it was the first time I saw them here, as once again they managed to get the girls dancin' and the guys drinkin'! What more can one ask for from a rock 'n roll show! Great performers.. Highly recommended! - ASB Press - ASB Press


"'50's inspired Los Angeles rock band!"


Formed in Southern California in 2011, The Miskreants are an edgy, yet highly melodic, rock band. The dynamic mix of intelligently written songs cleverly infuse the Rock 'n Roll sounds of the 1950's with a punk rock grittiness, and modern day electronic synthpop elements. The high quality recordings of the soon to be released debut album, Broken... But Still Beating, are performed with passion and high energy at the band's live shows. Follow The Miskreants online, and be sure to check them out when they come to a city near you! - ASB Press

Bio

Formed in Southern California in 2011, The Miskreants are an edgy, yet highly melodic rock band. Quality songwriting, catchy three-part vocal harmonies, and a charismatic throwback image, allow the band to leave their original mark in an otherwise over-saturated market. With influences ranging from Dion to The Beach Boys, and from Social Distortion to The Killers, the band has created a fresh, relevant, and dynamic mix of pop rock songs. Tracked and mixed by Thai Long Ly at the beautiful "Bell Sound" in Hollywood, CA, and mastered at the infamous "Mastering Lab", the soon to be independently released (on vinyl) debut album "Broken... But Still Beating" cleverly infuses undertones of late 1950's Rock 'n Roll, with punk rock grittiness, and modern day synthpop elements. The songs, ranging from a piano ballad to a full-on rock anthem, are performed with passion and high energy at the band's live shows.
