Here's a bitchin' group of four guys who are changing the alternative rock scene in New York. Jay Alberts is pounding beats out on the drums, his brother Steve Alberts playing hard core bass riffs, electric guitarist and backup vocals Jake Siberon and front man Joe Creamer on lead vocals and guitar all together make up Eight. I know that adds up to four, but the band insists that their name's Eight.
They're not your average grunge band; these guys are beyond that stereotype. If you're into a heavy bass that vibrates your chest or an electric guitar that will frazzle your soul then Eight is what you've been craving. They have the delivery of emotion that Soundgarden once possessed, an alluring timbre and the charisma of Primus, yet Eight distinctively pushes their own rebellious style.
"As far as the industry is concerned, everything is extremely watered down and people seem to get bored with the mainstream of music quickly due to its lack of substance," says Joe Creamer lead vocalist for Eight. "We offer accessible music that people can sing along to, while at the same time if you were to dissect us, you would find depth in the writing, structure and lyrics," says Creamer. Take the track "Hypnotized," once you
listen and get down to the gritty structure of its core, you'll become mesmerized and swear to yourself that you've heard it on the radio.
Eight plays from their gut; they thrive on a personalized musical meditation that encompasses a defiant sound. They're currently generating a buzz that can be heard
in New York, Boston and Philly. |
