HVNTED Against The Sun Chasing Desolation
Havoc Faction
Review by Ken Morton Photos by Vivian Ortega of So Finch Photography
The LA Rock Collective presented their August show at The Black Rose LA, packed with absolutely amazing bands from the Los Angeles area and beyond.
Against The Sun was up first, delivering a tremendously solid set of alterntaive rock and roll! This band is really beginning to make quite a name for themselves - they’ve even played Knotfest! At The Black Rose, Against The Sun performed with a massive amount of passion, captivating the early arrivals with standouts such as their should-be hit single Chelsea Said and their imaginative cover of the Oingo Boingo classic Dead Man’s Party. Always a pleasure to see Against The Sun live!
HVNTED is quite frankly ready to be signed, sealed, and delivered to a record label! Their recently issued Self-Titled EP was produced by Keith Nelson, former lead guitarist of the one and only Buckcherry, and the recording is destined to garner the band a good deal of attention. And within a live setting, HVNTED really know how to deliver a supremely remarkable performance. William Swanson on vocals and rhythm guitar is a dynamic front man with a ton of star appeal. Lead guitarist Christopher Marshall delivers the auditory goods tenfold while bassist Jack Cotter and drummer Seamus Neal drive it all home with a vengeance!
Chasing Desolation present their own thrilling brand of hard rock. Their recent album The Moth Collection is powerful and absorbing - and within a live setting, Chasing Desolation convey the darkness and intrigue of their music in nothing short of an epic way! Such a stunning presentation to be sure! Hope to see more of Chasing Desolation in the future.
And then there was Havoc Faction, presenting their own supremely imaginative version of sci-fi rock and roll. An ambitious, striking live performance to be sure! Spawned by intense inspiration and a spiraling sense of perseverance within a plague filled world, the Havoc Faction visual and auditory saga is a compelling one well worth seeking out!
