Shooting Down Satellites – The Sovereign EP

Jenn Cohen | December 1, 2011 | 0 Comments

Shooting Down Satellites is on to something with their second EP in two years: Call it high energy meets precision. The meticulous Rock orchestration, thoughtful lyrics, high energy and true love for the Indie genre that they’ve put forth on The Sovereign EP is sure to get them some solid recognition from critics as well as a bunch of new fans. These four guys from Loveland – Alex Waterfield (vocals and guitar), Scott Schwindt (guitar), Eric Pierce (drums), and Brian Miller (bass) – were influenced by bands such as Muse, RxBandits, and Mars Volta, but their sound is authentic and very new in addition to being super-charged-up. The only thing that this EP is missing is that you’ll wish it were a full-length album. Love the take-no-prisoners vocals of frontman Waterfield – as well as the background vocals on various tracks – the rock-hard guitarwork of Schwindt and energy of Pierce. Such passion in such a small container! Recorded and produced at Birdcage Studios by Steve Parker. See their website for tour dates as they have a pretty solid schedule.

LIVE: Dec. 10 / Bushwackers, Denver

Dec. 18 / Hodi’s Halfnote, Fort Collins
