"Kill the Carrier Review"

Ekoflo’s “To Be a Matador” is purely brilliant. Every song is in its own, a poem. The starting track, “Missing in Atlantis” sets the mood for the album as highly invigorating yet absolutely calm and soothing. The lyrics alone are powerful and truly thought out, but with the instrumentals that accent those lyrics and play off every word you’ll be easily surprised this is the bands debut. The band itself is incredibly tight; it’s not some garage band trying to mash each member’s instrument together. It all fits together in its entirety; every word and each chord and note emotionally touches you in some way or another. Each song will hold its own emotional value to you every time you listen to it. No song will ever bore or tire you. Few bands can create an album like this one; even less can do it as well. If one word could in any way describe “To Be a Matador” it would be “Amazing”.

Bio

Beginning as 3 college roommates and a little brother, Ekoflo began writing and composing original music upon their inception. Having no preconceived notions of what to do, or how to do it, the group simply began. Now three years later, this simple fact has become the strong point of the band, lending its hand to a sometimes schizophrenic sound, but always retaining the qualities that compose the group.

In the summer of 2004, Ekoflo entered Pachyderm Studios, where both Nirvana and Live recorded their respective platinum albums “In Eutero” and “Throwing Copper”. The group emerged with their debut EP “Mojave Aster”, immediately receiving notice from the music community, earning the following opportunities and honors:

*Being selected to showcase their music at the New York International Music Festival, taking home the Top Artist Award Honors among a pool of international talent.

*Alternative Addiction (www.alternativeaddiction.com) selected Ekoflo to their coveted “Top 10 Unsigned” bands in the nation, peeking as high as #6 with the hit “C’est la vie”.

*Recording a new version of the Third Eye Blind song “London”, to be released by Latham Records as a tribute to the platinum selling group.

Now, after two hard years of busting their musical chops, playing gigs across the Twin Cities, Midwest, and traveling as far as Florida, the group has made a name for themselves. In late 2005, the group again entered the studio for their first full-length release entitled “To Be A Matador”.

This album marks a very large change in sound, with a mix of songs ranging from the heavy straight ahead rock sound of the title track, to the delayed guitars, thumping beats and laid back vocals featured on "Missing in Atlantis".

*The song “Piloting Dark Skies” will be featured on X-Box, Play Station 2, and PC, serving as the opening track to “Pro Bass Fishing 2006”.

Ekoflo includes: Justin Steen, Kyle Steen, Peter Aslanidis, Tom Zimborski, and Eric Heggerness.
