Calgary based country/ rock/ pop trio Brocade have an interesting sound on their new CD “Like You Were Here.”
The eight track CD is alt country tinged rock music which sounds like a combination of an electrified Elliott Brood a touch of Wilco and early ’70s David Bowie.
There are also tinges of the Clash as well as the Strokes with a little bit of late ’90s pop-rock along the lines of the Gin Blossoms and Soul Asylum.
The eight tracks are a solid effort of country tinged rock music with understated vocal harmonies, and simple but effective guitar, plus subdued steel guitar and even a piano on “Every Single Day.”
The more Elliott Brood sounding tracks — the very catchy “ Hungry” and the last track “So Far Away,” are a couple major highlights of the CD.
As is the upbeat number “Riot, Riot.”
On “Like You Were Here,” Brocade have blended a variety of different influences and sounds to create a very appealing listen of catchy songs.
