Most would agree most popular artists out there have something truly special to give to their fans. This goes above the typical attributes like raw talent, amazing songs, nice voice, or even a very marketable look, sound & image. Theres something truly infectious at the core of these artists that simply makes us feel good when we listen to them. Whatever it is - they all seem to have it.

Today I listened to the latest CD from New York musical 2-some Eight Feet Deep (Eight Feet Deep - 2010) Venturing to their website I get the impression both Mike DiMeo & Billy 'Pills' Fridrich take their songwriting craft pretty seriously. From start to finish this latest CD from 8FD delivers the goods & is very entertaining in nature. It has a very strong rock, heavy metal quality to it, & even dabbles in old hair metal of the late 80s. Any fans of any of these musical styles will enjoy this latest release from 8FD. Its clearly marketed for those who like the musical mystique of say a Van Halen, White Lion & Winger. I get the impression * Feet Deep is rolling with what they knows as performers & songwriters. Favorite tracks include Track 1 (Leader) & Track 3 (No Regrets) The CD has an amazing feel to it & is very melodic. Within each one of these compositions DiMeo & Fridrich finds their musical mojo & just ut it out there. The playing is spot on & just makes the whole CD more entertaining. The overall vibe is full tilt.

I see 8FD as a diamond in the rough, with an amazing amount of potential. As time goes by he will no doubt hear from these 2 again. I am eager to hear what his next release will sound like. I am also eager to see what the future holds for these 2 as well as they fit together like a hand in glove. In close most famous artists out there have it Im not so sure what it but 8 Feet Deep has whatever it may be.
