About Me
You can find "Kombustion" in all record stores (Specs, Virgin, Tower Records, etc) or on the internet ( amazon.com , musicoutfitter.com , barnesandnoble.com , etc) Here is some of what people have said about the record:
"Overall Kombustion is an upbeat and well-crafted album with straight-ahead lyrics. The interplay beweeen the vocals and guitar on songs like 'Los Muebles del Planeta de los Simios', 'Sonido/Color', and 'Sera Facil' is perfect." Juan Pablo Restrepo, Loft Magazine, February 2004
"Bringing together 90's grunge sound with brit pop, latin rock band Soniko has created a heavy anglo sound with a highly stylized latin flavor." Street Weekly (Miami), February 20 2004
"Thanks to energy, determination, and money well invested, as well as some extra help in the final mixes from Shakira's engineer Marcelo Anez -- who got a Grammy for his work with the Colombian diva's MTV Unplugged -- the band completed a solid debut, Kombustion." Javier Andrade, New Times (Miami), January 15 2004
"Con un sonido que igual pide prestado de la psicodelia que del grunge y del brit pop, Soniko se une a Volumen Cero en la batalla por cambiarle la cara al 'sonido Miami.'" Jesus Olvera, Al Borde (L.A.), April 22 2004
"With the Beatles pouring out from its pores, Kombustion is a happy foray into alterna-pop, but it's not without its experimentations: sitar, groove oriented rhythms, and melodic modulations reminiscent of the first British invasion." Rene Alvarez, Street Weekly (Miami), September 19 2003
