Four Trips Ahead

4FOUR TRIPS AHEAD ‘THE MEMORIES’ (505 RECORDS/USA IMPORT)

The NYC based band 4FOUR TRIPS AHEAD already released quite a few mini-CDs and a full-length record in the past, but this is the first time I experience their music with listening and likewise reviewing their new mini-CD ‘The memories’. Musically speaking the band is playing a modern somewhat groovy Hardrock style with pretty strong melodies. There’s a clear Classic Rock influence to be heard and also some light Post-Grunge influences as well. It’s different than for example a NICKELBACK or ALTER BRIDGE and is actually sounding like a mix between ALICE IN CHAINS/SOUNDGARDEN, BLACK CROWES and a typical 1970s Classic Rockband. I do feel that the band can even do better, so who knows a future full-length CD might see an even better band, although for now ‘The memories’ shows a very interesting and professional sounding band.
