In the series of posts named as ‘Spotlights
on’, I am going to present some bands that I believe they are not so famous,
and in my opinion they deserve more publicity.
Today I am going to
write a few things about the Swedish band Siena
Root, from Stockholm. They have begun their career as a trio in the late 90’s,
and so far they have change an impressive number of members. Their sound is a very tight old-fashioned
Heavy Rock, influenced by some of the great bands of the 70’s, such as Deep
Purple and Uriah Heep, to name a few. In their early recordings they were
also influenced by the American Psychedelic scene, and their sound was “coloured”
with some not so popular instruments, such as Hardy Gurdy, Mandolin, Sitar etc.
Siena Root is a very active live band, famous for their powerful live
shows, and as far as I know they give live gigs on every given occasion. Also,
they release their albums on CD and Vinyl editions, like the good old days.
(Only the cassette is missing).
Their discography consists of 5
studio and 2 live albums so far, which are the following:
A New Day Dawning (2004)
Kaleidoscope (2006)
Far From the Sun (2008)
Different Realities (2009)
Live at Roj (2010)
Root Jam – Live (2011)
Pioneers (2014)
I have all their studio albums in my collection, and I believe that with
every new release they become better and better.
In case you don’t know them, I definitely
suggest that you should pay some attention to this band. Maybe they don't bring
something new in the modern Rock music scene, but who does that anyway in our days? These guys are playing good old fashioned
Rock music, and they play it good and loud!
