Greenhouze – Greenhouze (2005)

cd_greenhouze_greenhouze

Fantastic atmospheric AOR. Nice touch with the piano interspersed int he songs. Gives it a definite West-Coast feel. I do hear Mike & The Mechanics in the songs and it works quite well. I highly recommend this.

China Doll – China Doll (EP) (2001)

China Doll were formed in 2000 by original Guitarist Matt Rowley and Drummer Simon Henshaw. Later that year Rob Wylde answered an ad and became the band’s vocalist, also taking on Bass and Songwriting duties. The band were completed by Slovenian Keyboardist Sasha Bergant. In 2001 Rowley left the band to start a career as a sound engineer and was replaced by Rich Housechild. The band toured throughout the UK before recording and releasing their debut EP “Better Late Than Never” in late 2002.

Excellent melodic hard rock from germany. A pretty good vocalist with not much accent, catchy songs with lots of keys. Better than many other german bands in this genre (Mason, EZ Livin, Javan).
