Lunden Reign
American Stranger
Review by Gary Hill
This act is being billed as a progressive rock band. I don’t get that at all. I mean, we’re pretty inclusive in what we put under prog here at MSJ, but I just can’t make the argument for that at all. The metal label fits better, but it’s not a perfect fit either. Still, it’s close enough that we’re going to put this there. Overall, this is closer to a pop rock sound. It’s got some particularly catchy songs. As metal, it comes in closer to the nu-metal pop based end of the spectrum. All that categorization aside, this female fronted act is quite good.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2015 Volume 2 at lulu.com/strangesound.
