During CMJ I didn't get to go to many concerts, and the one night I did get to go see some shows, I had a really terrible night, which made it hard for me to really get into any of the bands that I saw perform. Zerobridge was one of those bands who I saw but couldn't get into because I was just plain crabby. Luckily, they saw my post and contacted me, offering me a second chance to listen to their music (when I was not in such an awful mood).
I'm not entirely sure why but the first thing that came to mind when I listened to their 5-song EP, "Havre De Grace," was: Snow Patrol meets Collective Soul meets Remy Zero. There are hints of a few other bands in there. Like maybe The Strokes? I dunno. They have a nice harmonious rock sound, most of their songs are relatively upbeat and something about them reminds me of 90s rock (hence the Collective Soul comparison). Saying that the remind me of 90s rock is a huge compliment coming from me because the 90s is my favorite musical decade. My one complaint would be that their song The Shake, with lyrics that say "get on the dance floor" could be a little more danceable. It's almost dance-able and I think they could of added a few more layers and maybe picked up the tempo just the tiniest bit to make it a very catchy dance-rock tune.
All in all, I quite enjoyed their EP and I'm glad they got in touch with me so I could give them a second (and more fair) listen. You can listen to their entire EP on their myspace or buy it on iTunes. And here's one freebie for you to take home:
