The single “Bad Enemy” from In/Vertigo’s forthcoming debut EP Sex, Love, and Chaos positions this Canadian band as the latest major hard rock talent to emerge in an era when it seems like such acts are at a premium. The band certainly touches on a number of familiar tropes and sound familiar to any hard rock fan, but those same hard rock fans will note how In/Vertigo leaves their own distinctive stamp on the form while still providing hard rock fans with an identifiably entertaining listening experience. The production, likewise, is ideally suited for the style but brandishes a nice lower end sound while still surrounding both the guitar and vocals with warm gravitas. “Bad Enemy” will likely prove to be a five star introduction to the band and the EP, based on this track alone, seems primed to propel In/Vertigo far beyond the Great White North home base.

The debut of songwriting team Mary Lynn and Emmy Lou Doroschuk’s band Wave 21 is self-titled and includes ten country rock inspired numbers. “Ya Ya Ya” has the album come charging out of its corner with muscular drumming definitely playing to the rock side of the band’s character. It’s a lively number perfectly suited for a wide audience and I can’t imagine it being anything less than a powerful live number. The guitar playing on this opener won me over from the first and never let me down; the drumming and bass playing alike are every bit as assertive and Stefan Doroschuk’s production brings it into seamless balance. “Love Shouldn’t Make Me Cry” has a much stronger blues taste than anything previously on the album, but it’s always orchestrated well against their traditional acoustic sound and country influences.
