The band takes from the finest movements in rock, the artsy moments in classic rock, and MICHAEL PATRICK BAND's memorable melodies shine throughout. The guitar and drum teamwork is absolutely incredible throughout on both a unique and stylistic level. This album just really makes you feel good, pulls your hearts strings, and lets you live within the music. Mike Patrick(your awesome Mike)? lead vocals and guitar has great vocals that got me to notice his band with the first song that got my attention. "WELCOME TO MY LIFE" gives the vibe of a classic song, and shows the classic rock giants in MICHAEL PATRICK BAND at their most memorable and most likely my favorite, though it’s hard to say because this whole record is pretty darn memorable. The distortion really hits hard, and the band transitions into such shimmering melody that pulls the hearts strings in every which way. The drumming is jammin, moving, and well, perfect. "The tracks "DOLL OF THE MALL","DO WHAT YOU WANT","AINT THAT A SHAME","WHEN IT'S OVER","LOVE THAT LASTS", "BAD BAD GIRL" and "MINUTE TO MIDNITE" unleashes the more classic side of the band, and they really know how to kick some beats! The band really picks up the pace and the heaviness on "VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE", and the rythym is coming at you with something to say! Other stunners like " SO HE RUNS" and "DEVIL IN THE NIGHT" unleash both upbeat and ferocious riffs that move oh so swiftly,and emotionally with fully charged guitar riffs,drums and other great sounds! It seems like whatever genre the band puts into their formula, it all goes hand and hand for a great song, and ultimately an album full of quality songs from start to finish. MICHAEL PATRICK BAND unleashes just as much intensity as the music puts in. They play the music they want to hear, play it heavy, and get the masses involved in the mix. THE MICHAEL PATRICK BAND has risen to the next level.Check them out on MySpace at: http://www.myspace.com/themichaelpatrickband BY Juanita aka SHYGIRL RAPIDBEAT PROMOTIONS http://www.rapidbeatpromotions.com/forum/showthrea d.php?t=5106
