Sonic Orchid features strong, solid, female vocals and guitar-driven melodic rock, pop-metal. Lead singer, Christina, fuels the group with her siren-like vocals, having the ability to reach into gritty and powerful inflections to soft, sweet and sultry colors. Lead guitarist, Brad, is compared to the likes of virtuosos Joe Satriani and Neil Schonn.Based in Regina, Saskatchewan, this 4-piece group originated as a cover band in 2002, mimicking the musical styles and on-stage intensity of hard rockers Judas Priest, ACDC and Guns n Roses. Having a female lead singer gave this group a unique twist in executing these hard rock artists. Yet songwriting quickly developed amongst the group; the group's main focus is to build it's spot as a recording and touring act. The group's influences are wide and are rooted in some of the forerunners of rock. Assuming the worldly messages of Journey, adopting the soulful sounds of Led Zeppelin, giving a hint of heavy Iron Maiden and incorporating the modern sounds of Lacuna Coil, the group's music covers a wide range of styles. Coupling classic rock with melodic pop-metal, Sonic Orchid appeals to listeners of all ages.Sonic Orchid has managed and promoted themselves, creating a buzz successfully on their own, performing in various venues and festivals around Western Canada, and through internet marketing/networking, community/campus and internet radio. The group's EP, released in 2005, has sold a substantial number of units simply through live shows. The new CD, entitled Love and War, released in May of 2008, is receiving positive feedback from both fans and music industry professionals. Both Cds are available on CD Baby and Apple iTunes Music Store.Sonic Orchid is presently being played on many internet and community/campus radio stations, and has gained much media exposure through print, radio and TV.Convincing musicality, captivating stage personalities and an energetic, easy on the eyes balls to the wall rock show is driven by a raw intensity fueled by passion... -- BEGIN SHOPPING CART -- ..tr album price ..tfoot
