Vespers Nine: True Story
Vespers Nine is an American rock band that formed in 2012 and have recently released their debut album True Story. The band includes five veteran musicians; John F. Simon (lead vocals), Gricel Julie Dosal (bass guitar, vocals), James Martinez (lead and rhythm guitars), Jesse Rivas (rhythm guitars) and George Dosal (drums).
There isn't anything new under the sun here but the guitar riffs are decent and the melodies catchy enough to warrant a few listens. Simon has a strong voice with a decent range and is a good choice for the band's accessible hard rock style.
One of the best cuts is the album opening "Mystery", a fine up-tempo rocker with catchy vocal harmonies and solid guitar riffs. The band slow it down a little on the mid tempo ballad "Forever Yours", the uplifting "Walk With Me" and on the commercial "Waiting For You" featuring glistening background harmonies. I would have preferred another rocker or two but that's just me.
All the songs are originals except for a cover of Mr. Mister's "Broken Wings" featuring decent acoustic guitar and crystal clear vocals.
If you like radio friendly rock music than Vespers Nine may be worth investigating. It's not complicated but every so often that is precisely what I'm looking for. True Story is a solid AOR rock album, nothing more, nothing less and earns a respectable 3 stars.
