Review: "Pacifica" by Amadan

Artist: Amadan

Album: Pacifica
Year produced: 2007

A Celtic/punk mix that is truly different, Amadan delivers an interesting album with "Pacifica". The Celtic influence is clear, but the band can also rock the house with their fresh take on the punk music influence. Track one pops right out at you, trading off between heavy Celtic feel and thumping punk sounds. Energy, energy.

The vocals are more industrial or alternative-sounding than raucous punk, but this is good. It is one of the things that lends a different air to the music presented here. Instead of just copying other Celtic/punk bands, these guys make their own way; set their own course--and it makes them stand out from the crowd. In fact, it is almost as if more a traditional rock music makes an appearance here and there as well for a braid of three influences.

"Not Your Man" is a particularly rousing track, but the whole CD is a good listen. An atypical effort, this should please those who are fans of Celtic/punk. It is also a good album to suggest for those who may want to dip a toe into the genre without going full boat down the river in this genre should check these guys out too. It's a great introduction that doesn't go too far down the "thrash" path.
