Spotlight - Adrian Blitzer

I happened to catch an Adrian Blitzer show and I have to say, they were very entertaining and very energetic. Their eight song CD, "Foaming At The Mouth," at least for me, didn't quite capture what I saw on stage. I'm not saying it's a bad album because, really, it's not. I happen to enjoy it. But, what I heard on disc seemed a bit more, shall we say, mellow. If you hear the disc first and then you go out to see them, you'll feel like you're experiencing two different bands.

The production on this release could've been a little better. That's about my only complaint. There's some good stuff to be found on here though. "Just Go," "Whipping Boy" and my personal favorite, "Ashes." If I'm not mistaken, this is their first release and it's not a bad for a first effort. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do on the next release. There's a lot of potential here, both in terms of musical ability and stage performance. If they can blend the two the proper way, they'll come up with an awesome sound. Keep an eye on these guys and be sure to catch 'em live when you can.
