Album Review
Graze –
Graze are a pop-rock band based in the Netherlands. While the music is primarily rock, the soulful voice of lead singer Liane Hoogeveen gives their music a whole new dimension. “Forgive Me” would be an average rock track but her voice gives it a passion that makes it work.
Luckily there is more to the band that just a strong lead singer. The compositions are put together well and take inspiration from other musical styles in a way that works, like the jazzy riff in “Hesitation”. The lyrics also have a refreshing honesty to them which comes across well with a female lead.
Graze are an exciting band with great potential, with styles harking back to big acts of the 80s and 90s like The Cure and Skunk Anansie, there is nothing else quite like them out there just now.
