Dry Riser Two Many Chiefs CD - Review

Nik Ledgard, Matt Lintott , Jack Driver, and Pete Bembridge coming together as Dry Riser gives a sound that is a folksy rock with a touch of the Doors and a dash of the 70s Beatles and harmony you don't often hear in today's music.

On their EP Two Many Chiefs, be prepared to be mellowed out, just like the music did back in the late sixties early seventies. Sit back, close your eyes, for the vocals will engulf you like the warmth of a fire. The guitar shall invade your mind, taking control and soothing your sprits.

Hailing from across the pond in London, they are just now receiving long over due attention here in the US.
Being from England, you would hope to here the British invasion sound, and Two Many Chiefs does have that sweet English flair to the tracks. The track, Rushing is heavy on the British side showcasing the superb vocal skills of Nik Ledguard . Nik's vocals lightly lands on high notes, dancing above the deeper voice of Matt Lintott to create a harmony that is haunting beautiful.

Another standout is A lot For Her To Take, the final cut. This one has a powerful message , and Pete Bembridge on the drums and Jack Drivers on bass drive it home to your heart with their rhythmic almost tribal beat.

They jokingly to themselves as the "best kept secret of Britain" , which may be true, but it only because the music connoisseurs of London know once the world hears their unique sound, the second wave of the British invasion will start. Sorry England, but their music is too good for you not to share.

To say Two Many Chiefs is an excellent debut EP would be an understatement . This CD is top shelf material you will enjoy many times over. The Dry Riser do music the way music used to be, they move you..
