ROOM11 are an eclectic power duo from South London whose debut release is this EP, ‘We All Fall Down’.
In a very short time, ROOM11 has managed to achieve a unique sound that incorporates an old-school approach blended with a modern, fresh appeal. Piercing high energy vocals and hefty, riffy guitars are fused by heavy beats, tinged with a touch of electronica-synth that creates a wall of sound with catchy melodies that will stick to your head like super glue. Working with producer Dave Draper (Nickelback, Terrorvision, The WildHearts) , ROOM11′s songs have been featured on BBC1 Introducing, Planet Rock, KROQ Radio, and more.
ROOM11′s debut EP is made up of five tracks composed and written by Chrisy Finn (vocals) and Robbie Pinnetto (guitar).
1: “Man On A Mission “ the guitar breakdown on this track was insane. Really showcases the musicality and the vocals were stunning and the range was incredible. Very gritty and had a blues rock undertone which I loved.
Great opening first track.
2: “All She Wants” this track melodically was faster in pace and definitely a track I can see being a crowd favourite for a live show. Very catchy and loved the lyrical intention of taking situations with a pinch of salt.
3: “Black Fly” the standout track for me in terms of vocal and musical technicality/ability.
4: “We All Fall Down” loved how catchy and upbeat this was. Also find the title apt as during the music video shoot Robbie fell off his skateboard resulting in a broken arm.
5: “Backseat Lovers” pure grit from this track. Loved the high energy it gave off from the get go. Great track to end the EP on.
Overall I loved the almost blues rock sound I got from the EP and it was just so energetic and infectious. The fact that there is no bassist blows my mind. Certainly a dynamic duo!
Vocally Chrisy Finn brings a beautiful range and there is absolutely no denying the raw talent.
Same can certainly be said for guitarist Robbie Pinnetto who absolutely shreds through every track.
ROOM 11 didn’t hold back ,bringing forward different lyrical elements/ themes which explored the highs and lows we experience in life but was brought forward with high energy, raw talent and finesse.
I’m personally looking forward to hearing what the band brings next! ****
