John Crosby, a 22 year old kid from California. He's got some damn good music. He uses a number of different recording techniques with some interesting samples. The melodies are dark and rich. The lyrics haunting, unforgettable. This music hits me on another level completely. I listen to the albums, either one, I'm consumed. My mind takes me on a journey into itself. Feeling the music as I relive experiences and feelings that I once had,. Every since I started playing I have always been looking for music like this. A music that knows what life is really like. A music that is influenced from just about all genre's, from classical to Rock 'N' Roll. The intensity used in this music shows the truth behind the melodies and lyrics, and if you listen hard enough even life.
As far as live goes that's a different story. At least when I saw him. I saw him in Columbus Oh, at the newport. I enjoyed the show a lot and they are a fun band to watch, but his music doesn't reach you on the same level. Doesn't mean I won't go see him again. He is still a kid. His music is still gonna grow and so will he. The big thing is that he needs to not scream the words that need to be sung. He needs to let his voice sing the music. John Crosby is a great musician and performer and will become an even better one as he grows. I see him Twenty or Thirty years from now putting on shows equivalent to a Pink Floyd concert. After all, this is the future of music.
