My Denton Music spotlight: Siren City
This is your introduction to yet another band in Denton's impressive stable of up and coming rock groups. Siren City, however, seems to have something that sets this group apart from the other emerging artists in town. With an impressive rapport with some of the area's most well respected artists, and a sound that rivals any more storied groups, Siren City is a band on the cusp of making a huge splash in DFW's music scene.
A large part of their future success is going to be riding on their debut EP, which is going to be released this Friday night at The Boiler Room, something that Mark Hutchison said they have been waiting for for a long time now. "It's a relief," said Hutchison during a special listening party held at The Boiler Room this past Sunday night.
It is an important step for any up-and-coming group to release their debut album. Understanding that the first impression is always the most important, a band's first album hopes to make a positive impression on any one who has not been exposed to that band in the past. Siren City has nothing to worry about in that regard based on what I heard on Sunday night. This is as impressive debut as I have ever heard. Their sound is crisp and clean but retains that all important edge you crave in a rock band. They carry a very versatile approach to their music that has me wondering what kind of music fans will be most responsive to their style. Right now it is hard to say. They have not pigeonholed themselves into one specific genre. They are both hard rock and melodic with enough pop influence to appeal to the general music fan. It is very, very exciting to speculate what Siren City could be capable of in the future, but as for now their debut EP should satisfy all your musical needs.
Come check out their show this Friday night at The Boiler Room off the square. Your cover will get you a copy of the album and there might be a surprise in store for you on stage. Take it from me, it is not very often you get a chance to catch a band this early in their career with as much upside and potential as Siren City. Be there on Friday night and see what I am talking about!
