Noctaluca, one of my favorite Cincinnati-based rock bands (and quite frankly, one of my favorite rock bands regardless of local flavor) just put out their newest CD, Still the Wicked Rest. I ordered it the same time as their Live DVD, and somehow thought that the new CD was just a live thing, too. Well, when it showed up, I was all like, “hmmm… this looks like a legitimate studio CD.” And, well, it is a new studio CD. And it’s awesome. Think two-guitar hard rock (with a sound that’s equal parts Led Zeppelin & early Alice in Chains) with a strong singer-songwriter core, powerful vocals, and lyrics for the Rage Against the Machine set…

GRAMMY GONE MAD
====================
What Do NARAS and The RIAA Have In Common? One More Thing.
But what if suddenly, due to an unexpected trend (called popular opinion) the winners were people like Noctaluca or Preeta and the Peace Makers, Who..? Exactly. What if the winners were people the general public was not hip to but nonetheless are great artists with a following just under the radar? In other words, everyone who’s still too good for a major label deal. What would happen then? - Moses Avalon newsletter Nov. 2008

Bio
Classic Rock Magazine called noctaluca "the cream of some of the new talent emerging today in terms of songsmithery...There are echoes of Pink Floyd, Radiohead, and yes GNR". Following the cult successs of their 2006 debut "Towering the Sum", noctaluca's latest studio release "Still the Wicked Rest" unabashedly embarks into the deeper and darker reaches of America's post-traumatic psyche, holding no punches along the way. From its provocative cover art to the politically spearheaded lyricism and an overall sound redolent of Vietnam-era rock, "Wicked" blows the dust from one of rock n' roll's greatest forgotten inventions: the protest song - and hot-wires it for its own retributive aims.
While many bands are masters of their domain in the studio and can create superior sounding records, often these same bands can fall short in the live arena. But noctaluca consistently has outgunned their own ingenuity in the studio by putting on feverish live performances that at once can mimic the sonic enormity of their records with astounding accuracy while still tapping into a constant and thrashingly turbulent spirit of spontanaeity that consistently earns them the unblinking and devoted wonderment of the audience, no matter how young or old.
