"ACOUSTIKA IN REVIEW"

Friday, February 02, 2007

If you like Green Day, this band is the revival with a twist of rock. According to their myspace, AcoustikA are notorious for rock parties which double as their gigs. If you’re looking for a good time, this band will not let you down!

AcoustikA are a five piece band from Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Australia. Made up solidly of really, really cool guys with a hell of a lot of passion and talent. Just one listen to their full-length album which is soon to be released or even a single attendance at one of their gig/parties, because it’s always a party, and you’ll be hooked!

AcoustikA has a stage presence that cannot be matched by other local bands. They keep the energy afloat no matter how many people are in the room – with a passion and enthusiasm that other local bands gigging around Sydney lack.

If you head to their myspace page, make sure you've got time on your hands!! There's SO much to see. There are videos of the band, rocking out in rehearsal, which takes you directly backstage and makes you FEEL like you are sitting in on a jam session. There is also a thoroughly entertaining film clip, to one of their first released songs – First Timer, that is not for G-rated audiences... thanks to Brian's butt! This clip has received a lot of attention and positive feedback.

Their rock parties (or gigs), are often described as a live music video that regularly feature cage dancers, pole dancers and fire breathers. AcoustikA is a band not to be missed – they know how to entertain!

While the boys are busy planning their trip away in March, they have also finished their debut album "For Sale". The album has been recorded and mastered and I was lucky enough to get a sneak preview of it.

The album is due for release in 2007 after the boys sift through the hundreds of myspace entrants for their perfect ROCK CINDERELLA cover girl – meaning, her picture is their cover! That's rock!

During 2006, the band signed licensing deals for two of their tracks that were released in the U.S. "Cyber Idol" was released in October 2006 for No Cover Magazine - a music and action sports lifestyle publication, featuring on the rock compilation CD "GROUPIES SUCK VOL 8". You have to love the band that gets on a Groupie compilation CD!

Cyber Idol is definitely a song for the Internet. The lyrics are really entertaining and pull together in a pop-punk style. The message behind the song is also important as the band explain how the Internet can let you be anyone.

The other single due for release by Tin Records, in January 2007, is called "Can't Hold On". This track will be featured on their NEW MUSIC SERIES 2007 ROCK compilation CD.

The band has also had several tracks featured on various sports DVDs including the soundtrack for Layne Beachley's (World no 1 female surfer's) HAVAIANAS BEACHLEY CLASSIC SURFING EVENT, A MOTO X DVD and another local Northern Beaches production surfing DVD.

2007 is already shaping up to be massive year for the boys, with the band planning a Spring Break Tour to the U.S.A, after being invited to perform for the infamous Spring Break parties and at the NMS 2007 Festival, held in South Padre Island, Texas.

Not many local bands could compete with this achievement. It’s impressive, but these guys earned it. Their passion and drive isn't easily matched by other local bands around Sydney.

Be sure to catch them before they go overseas – put them at the top of your gig list!

To quote a review of AcoustikA's music that was recently featured in Sydney street press? "The music they create is unpredictable. What seemingly starts out as fairly straight heavy rock in one song jumps to frenetic punk in the next followed by stoner rock grooves or an anthem seventies sound."
