Accidental Superhero
"Full Circle"
Independent
I have to say that there are few bands that claim to have "x" amount of MP3 downloads that would even get me to look twice at them. The fine folks at Ariel Publicity though, send us good stuff. So, I popped in Accidental Superheroes upon their recommendation. Their CD is not available in stores but you can find them at www.MP3.com . Why did I just tell you where to find their music? The answer is simple, they have done the unthinkable in my world. Accidental Superheroes has become (in a span of about 1 day) one of my favorite albums of this year.
Musically, these guys just play great pop rock. It's creative, guitar and vocal driven, and tremendously strong. Their guitar pop sound is rounded out by a very creative use of samples and loops that completely enhance the songs. This is just good rock music. Bands like Dishwalla, Remy Zero, New Found Glory, and The Newsboys are just now arriving on the evolutionary step that Accidental Superheroes currently lives on. The music is intense, just aggressive enough, just musical enough, and it makes you feel good. How many bands in 2002 make you feel good? Very few!
All in all, I can't recommend this release enough! You can fins out more about the band at www.accidentalsuperhero.com This album is not available in stores but I guarantee you that if you seek it out you will not be disappointed. It's a can't miss. Any label that is not interested in these guys is missing out on a gold mine. Accidental Superhero is the future and the future is right now.
