Sister Hazel:
Wikipedia:
Sister Hazel is an American alternative rock band from Gainesville, Florida, whose style blends elements of jangle pop, folk rock, classic rock 'n' roll and southern rock. Their music is characterized by highly melodic tunes and prominent harmonies. Most of their songs have optimistic lyrics. The band's instrumentation often features abrupt shifts among electric, acoustic and a cappella, with striking use of tacets. Though often described as alternative, Sister Hazel leans toward an upbeat sound and away from the clashing punk discordance often associated with the alternative rock genre. There have been no changes to the band's main lineup after over 20 years, although guitarist Ryan Newell was only listed as a guest musician on their debut album, and non-original member Dave LaGrande has been touring with them since 2012.
Fire (EP):
Digital Journal Review by Markos Papadatos:
On February 8, acclaimed musical group Sister Hazel released their latest studio offering, their new seven-track EP "Fire."
Sister Hazel's EP opens with the mid-tempo "Every Heartbreak," which features the band's soaring harmonies. It immediately breaks into the infectious "On and On," which is pure ear candy, as well as the nonchalant and mellow "Life and Love," which has a liberating vibe to it.
They slow down the pace on the title track ballad "Fire," and it is followed by the spitfire "She’s All You Need." It closes with the heartwarming "Here with You" and the edgy "Elements III (Growin' Up)," which is a neat jam.
The Verdict
Fire is a well-crafted, diverse and overall, a superb connection from start to finish; moreover, it is a substantial indication that 2019 ought to be a great year, musically, for the iconic rock group Sister Hazel. Their Fire EP garners five out of five stars.
Watertown Daily Times Review by Ed Zagorski:
"The heartfelt lyrics and powerful vocals of Ken Block is a true example Sister Hazel does not rest on its platinum laurels, but, rather, the band continues to push the bar higher and they succeed once again with their latest release, Fire. The new EP is a 'must have' for all Hazelnuts or any music fan who enjoys alternative rock with a southern/bluesy edge to it."
