Viretta
by the Swami
Viretta, a new and rising band on the local scene, is making some serious musical friends with their live shows, and this mini teaser release EP. While three songs make it hard to really understand a bands vision, the diversity of the tracks help the listener get a good idea of Viretta’s sound and direction.
The first track, IMO, is the strongest. A high tempo rocker, showcases a knack for quality songwriting with gritty guitar tracks, a worthy chorus, and very solid musicianship. Twin brothers Michael and Robert Moroni
(Ladies, get in line) bring the vocal and guitar work to the forefront and are justified in doing it as they are really are the pulse of the band. Take nothing away from drummer Michael Bokenkamp, and bassist Caden Marchese, as both hold down and accentuate the song structures and add a very viable backbone to the band as well.
With influences that stretch from The Bravery to Incubus to Queens of the Stone Age, it is easy to want to follow these guys as they continue up the ladder here in Colorado. Working with Isaac Slade (The Fray) and Joe Richmond (Churchill) doesn’t hurt the growth of the band either.
