Rising out of the burgeoning music scene in the Middle East, Israel’s
Seek Irony are poised to become among the first Middle Easterners to
bring their U.S. influenced brand of rock and roll to the rest of the world.
Like their homeland of Israel, it is music born out of the many
influences and experiences of the individual band members into a
cohesive and powerful blend of modern and alternative rock. Living in
Israel is like living everywhere in the world, People from all over come
to settle there and it is an amazing mix of cultures. The multi-cultural
influences are evident in the band’s music. It is modern rock with
everything from a Middle Eastern flavor to the music their parents were
raised on and the classical training of some of the band members.
The band’s personal influences of the more electronica and metal sounds
of the past couple of decades blend well with the more standard rock
genres the band members heard as young children. And yet, it all comes
together into a whole that is made up of relevant, meaningful lyrics set
to timeless, haunting melodies.
Now, these three singles are being released simultaneously on the band’s
new label, Chopmark Records leading up to an album that will come out in
early 2010. These three tracks are all representative of how the
diversity in the band’s music works well. >From the anthemic chanting of
the chorus in “Tech N Roll” backed with powerhouse drums and bass beats
to the guitar driven hard rock of “Dragging Me Down” to the alternative
influences of “Low”, Seek Irony maintain a radio friendly melodic style
to their otherwise varied and artistic musical style. As songwriters
they have grown up, sure of themselves and their musical style. As
players, Yoav, Eran, Daniel and Rom are accomplished and tasteful. As a
vocalist, Kfir has learned how to use his voice to drive the music and
the lyrics to tell tales. The rest of the album promises to be just as
blistering as these three singles.
