TRANSLATED FROM SPANISH
Don't Tell John
Blues - Rock & Roll
From the United States we get material from the musical project "Don't Tell John", which is made up of a rotating cast of friends and family who have played together for decades, led by singer "Veronica Larkin". They are characterized by having a mix of blues rock and roll with a 90s feel.
The band's energy is harsh and loud with a sensual, rhythm-oriented backbone. "Grandad" is a spectacular song that has a very refined sound, with dark nuances that also remind us of the music of the seventies. The voice and interpretation of the vocalist does not go unnoticed, she has a unique register and power that meshes very well with the instrumental section that does an equally spectacular job.
It is one of those songs that makes us listen to it over and over again. The chorus part gives it a very special touch, we really like the guitar riff and the punch that the drums have. At the recording level, they have managed to balance the classic sound without wasting the benefits of modern production to deliver high-quality work. Without a doubt, it is a band that invites us to learn more about its musical catalog. - CR Indie

Released on October 17, this is the group's latest single and their third studio work this year, which also released “Sweet Virginia” and “Watching You”.
“Granded” is as if Led Zeppelin were still active today and releasing new material, a song that brings all the melancholy of seventies blues/hard rock but with a heavier, almost grunge delivery, standing out due to the powerful voice of its vocalist.
Dont Tell John is a rock band, a mix of vibe and influences from 90s rock, and today features vocals from one of his daughters, Veronica, who is only 25 years old and has a lot of attitude, completing the quintet format that the band is today. - Roadie Music
