Synged is one of those bands that you know they remind you of a band but your not sure who. Well I figured it out. Sounding like the love child of Alice In Chains and Stone Temple Pilots, they are actually pretty original. Imagine 90's grunge on stoner rock steroids. I am completely enjoying what I am hearing even though I hate 90's era music.
Synged found a way to take the old, tired ass rock of the 90's and make it listenable, and better yet, enjoyable. You know what? Forget everything I have said, it's better to listen to this with an open mind, because you wouldn't want the diluted, uninspired actions of old grunge to taint your perspective of this truly original band. Synged is the 90's reincarnated into something great.

The music is so hard to describe that, according to Culbert; Ferrell has coined his own genre of “Modified Rock.” “It’s a little influenced by everything” Culbert explained. "There’s heaver rock, emo, 70’s rock. We wanted to keep it heavy but also keep it melodic so people can sing along.” Which they do. Songs like “Graduation”, while saturated with distorted guitar, draws the audience into sing along to its catchy chorus. The songs on the album are driving and fun, full of energy and sexual innuendo, some obvious and some not so. - Reading Eagle, By; Jim Speese
This local 5 piece band mixes metal, hard rock (and a couple doses robust machismo) into a blend of modern rock music. Synged's brand new disc is called Devil Woman, which may or may not be derogatory (the verdict is still out). But who really cares? Most of the songs on Devil Woman are about women, or one woman who is possibly a devil woman. (That would make sense, wouldn't it?) The crowning moment on this record is when lead singer James Culbert Jr. does a solo vocal in the beginning of Experience and then follows by saying "But I just want to f--k." That clinched it for me. (Check out their video on myspace.com/synged, if you can figure out what’s going on, it'll earn SYNGED 1 more star.
