It seems that every week we are receiving more and more submissions for our neighbors to the north. Toronto, Canada has become a veritable hot spot for independant music and is home to some excellent indie bands currently in rotation here at Froglix so it’s only fitting that we add another one to the mix this week. Taylor Brown, Giovani Agostini, Scott Dion Brown, Colin Campbell and Radek Smaczny are the lads that make up the newest addition to the broadcast, Symphony of Nine. Their most recent disc, aptly titled Radio, is a captivating blend of raucus guitar riffs (’Paralyze’ and ‘Dance Club Superstar’), pulsating rhythyms, phat bass lines, perfectly placed keys (’Saria In C Minor’) and gritty/powerful vocals exuding a raw energy that hearkens back to something reminiscent of Live’s Mental Jewelry disc. Good song writing, in turn, translates into an excellent performance when put in the hands of talented musicians. Fortunately, So9 delivers all of the above.
