AM Conspiracy CD Review

BURNHILL UNION RECORDS
BY: STEPHANIE STEVENS
RATE: 4/5
AM CONSPIRACY is downright rock n roll to the core. Fronting this new band is Jason “Gong” Jones a name that might be familiar with you since he fronted Drowning Pool for a bit. That stint with them really brought forth his talent as a singer and it shines even more brightly with these new songs on the debut. His voice brings in a gritty, heavy and raspy tone. Then spread over a musical ambiance and melody driven beat you get something like if you would intertwine Soil and Alice InChains. Each song brings a new element and sounds to make your ears perk up and makes the album a start to finish record without the mundane same ol’ same ol’ bullshit a lot of records are. The bands first single PICTURES shows the commercial avenue sound of the band. I love the great melody though and driven verses, with subtle intro and the punch factor when you get to the chorus. MYSELF is ballsy gritty and has a heavy rock twist. AWAY is a keeper with a brassy, elegant intro which elevates to a rock chorus and slides back to the elegant rock element. ABSENCE has harmony and dark elements like AIC. DEAD AND GONE brings the ballad-esque sound out of the band
If you want solid rock with diversity and grit AM CONSPIRACY is where it’s at!
