Columbia
Join Our Ride
by Jade Sperry
(Major)
SOUNDS LIKE: Oasis meets Radiohead while shaking hands with Blur and drinking tea with The Beatles.
Columbia is a band who are heavily influenced by the British sound of the mid- to late-'90s, but one important difference is that they make this sound their own. Hailing from Vancouver BC, Join Our Ride was released in May 2009, but the CD is now picking up steam as far as having a following. Lyrically solid, the music is high energy, positive and fun, with heavy, full guitars and killer vocals in every song. The songs contain messages of time passing, about making mistakes, the past shaping who you are now, human contact, relationships, and how meeting certain people in life can take you to the next level. At the end of the day, all current band members of Columbia are heading in a direction that only the lucky and the brave venture to. The CD is very promising, and I can only say one thing: The new British sound movement is in Canada and it sounds amazingly fresh and alive.
