CITY STREAM comes from Denmark, from city Bornholm, presents us the debut album titled “Hoax”. The Danish team is created by four musicians with Rock soul,who say that their roots go back to Punck Rock. The album “Hoax” is released in digipack with an insert containing the lyrics. The album has twelve songs.

From the first song, you can tell that the creators of the music had much energy and ideas to create the album. They have demonstrated great creativity in composing their work at “Hoax”. The interesting combinations of the guitars, bass, drums, violin and keyboard created an impressive arrangements that with the melodic vocals caused a “monumental” masterpiece. The musicians have huge temperament and potential. They created great music… Now would be fitting to something closer to write about what I feel listening to the music of the team…

… They play originaly, combining the elements of ambitious Punk Rock with Folk, Classical Music as well as sharper elements of Metal. You can clearly hear their musicality, which manifests itself among other things how they used the elements of Classical Music or Folk and the manipulations of vocals as well as the rest of instruments to smoothly go the end of song without forgetting about the melody and the energy. The keyboards give a strong impression that at times it sounds like a piano. The keys creates a mood that after a while is interrupted by the sudden change of pace and the introduction of other instruments as leaders.

The frontman also is worth to mention, which he perfectly harmonizes with the instruments. His melodic singing creates climate which is able to change in vocal of Punk Rock and even in sharp Metal screams.

The one sentence… It is worth … It is worth to listen CITY STREAM … It is worth to have the cd of CITY STREAM … It is worth to return to listening of STREAM CITY “Hoax”…
