Be There Nowhere are a very young, up-and-coming act centered in Copenhagen, Denmark. The 5-piece has been together for only a few years, but in that short period of time have grown a strong local fanbase and have released an EP prior to this one. Out of Nowhere is a 5-track teaser of a band who has a very strong sense of chemistry and a real ear for catchy, upbeat pop rock.


The band quite clearly wears their U2 influence on their sleeve, but there is certainly more than hero worship going on here. It's evident that there is a rare, strong bond between these 5 young men, and it reflects in their songwriting. Each track on Out Of Nowhere meshes with one another stylistically, never venturing far from the blueprint of bright harmonic riffs, an energenic rhythmn section and vocals that are expected to, and very much do, shine within this particular blend of rock. In fact, vocalist Andreas (couldn't find a last name) steals the show at times with his soaring emotive lines. Lyrically straightfoward and to-the-point, Andreas' words are given necessary punch via his impressive skills behind the mic. The band behind him does an excellent job at constructing memorable tunes, especially the groovy "When The Beat Is Gone" and the heartfelt "When We Were Younger", but all of these tracks has something solid to offer.


Above par in terms of musicianship, surprisingly strong songwriting and topped off by memorable vocals, Be There Nowhere have to be considered a rising force in the realm of pop rock. While it won't totally blow you away, Out Of Nowhere is going to hit that sweet spot for fans of U2 and similar acts. This is stadium rock at it's finest, folks, and it should shed some light not only on this group of talented musicians but on a scene that perhaps isn't getting it's fair share of attention.
