One of the WNY music scene’s most promising bands Da’loris (Bob Kupczyk-guitar/vocals,
Bob Rich-guitar/vocals, Ed Badhorn-bass/vocals and Kevin Kilner-drums)
has released a new CD titled Evolution. The fourteen tracks, which were
recorded at Robbie Goo’s Chameleonwest Studios under the watchful eye of
the esteemed Marc Hunt and Geno McManus, are a mix of Cosmic American garage
rock with a Bowie-esque vocal approach. The CD bookends with the tracks
“Wake Up Little Ebi” and “Goodnight Little Ebi” that features a little
girl (Jenna Christine Rich) speaking to a snoring man, “Wake Up Little
Ebi” turns into the sonic assault of “Dry” with its crisp drum sound throughout
the song. “Take Your Medicine” is a straight out rock track with some interesting
subject matter. “Claire”, “Deloris” and the acoustic sounds of “Discouraged”
all make a lasting impression. “Divine Rite” is an outstanding track with
a dirty sounding guitar riff that’s delicious. Other tracks of mention
include “Lost Years”, “Best Days”, “Fear” which features a guitar solo
from McManus and “Life Is Now” which features Ed Hallborg on keyboards.
Keen production work and well written and played songs shows Da’loris is
on the right track. You can check out their new release Evolution and get
