The Nadas - Huge in Holland! A Dutch review.

August 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Probably a great review, I have no idea. Anyone speak Dutch? click here to goto the original site. The Nadas, wat zeg je? Zal maar met de deur in huis vallen. Mij overkwam hetzelfde, had ook nog nooit eerder gehoord van dit bandje. Zanger gitarist Jason Walsmith en Mike Butterworth richten, ergens begin jaren negentig, dit uit Des Moines, Iowa afkomstige bandje op tijdens hun studententijd. The Ghost Inside These Halls is al hun zesde studio release en, volgens de band, het eerste dat ze zelf hebben geproduceerd, opgenomen hebben in hun thuishaven en voor de eerste keer in een vijf mansbezetting. Samen Ian Shephard, Jon Locker en Ross VanderWerf maakt The Nadas oprechte stevige melodieuze Alt Country met een flinke scheut poprock. Dat laatste komt door open HIT gevoelige nummers als ‘Blue Light’, ‘Alaska’, ‘Pieces On The Ground’ en ‘Feel Like Home’. Het venijn van de ruwe kant zit hem in de opener ‘Loser’, ‘No Thank You’ en ‘Something’s Burning’. Niet omdat het uit je luidspreker knalt of zo, nee maar puur omdat daar een Marillion, Go To Blazers en Bottle Rockets crossover aroma overheen hangt. The Ghost Inside These Halls blinkt uit doordat het stuk voor stuk sterke indringende songs zijn en vanwege de ongelofelijke muzikale diversiteit. In de Amerika verkochten The Nadas al meer dan 75.000 exemplaren en is het al een sensatie. Of dit in Nederland zal gebeuren zal sterk afhangen of onze jongenspijkerbroek generatie deze goed gefundeerde muziek op gaat pakken. (Jan Janssen)

    From Google Translate:

    The Nadas, what should you say? Will but with the door in the house. I did the same, also had never previously heard of this band. Singer guitarist Jason Walsmith and Mike Butterworth, sometime early nineties, from Des Moines, Iowa-based band during their student days. The Ghost Inside These Halls is already their sixth studio release and, according to the band, the first thing they themselves have produced, have included in their home and for the first time in a five mansbezetting. Together Ian Shephard, Jon Locker and Ross makes VanderWerf The Nadas sincere solid melodic Alt Country with a big shoot poprock. The latter is due to open HIT sensitive songs like “Blue Light ‘,’ Alaska, ” Pieces On The Ground” and “Feel Like Home ‘. The rough side of the devil lies in the opener ‘Loser’, ‘No Thank You’ and ‘Something’s Burning. ” Not because the speaker from your knalt or so, but purely because no one Marillion, Go To Blazers and Bottle Rockets crossover aroma hangs over it. The Ghost Inside These Halls excels because all the songs are strong and pervasive because of the incredible musical diversity. In the Americas The Nadas already sold more than 75,000 copies and is already a sensation. Whether this will happen in the Netherlands will greatly depend whether our generation jongenspijkerbroek music on these well-founded concerns addressed.

That last comes by open HIT sensitive numbers as `Blue Light’, `Alaska’, `Pieces On The Ground’ and `Feel Like Home’. the venijn of the harsh side does not sit him in more open the `Loser’, `No Thank You’ and `Something Burning’. because it your loudspeaker bangs or this way, no but purely because there Marillion, Go To fumaroles and Bottle rock rockets crossover aroma hangs out across.
