    That The Archeress is an amazing album was not surprising to me given the musical heft of Bella Novela’s first album, “Battlelines.” When IThat The Archeress is an amazing album was not surprising to me given the musical heft of Bella Novela’s first album, “Battlelines.” When I heard its first two blow-out-the speakers singles in my car – Going the Distance and The Archeress – I knew we were in for an impressive collection of songs with Jacob Heath’s signature guitar sounds, Jannea McClure’s drum hyper kinetic drums, and Jackie Laws’ soaring vocals. But when I ingested the rock opera in its entirety for the first time, I was simply blow away. It rightly belongs up there with best of the genre, including Tommy and The Wall. I probably listened to the complete album twenty times the first week I had it. The final couple of songs – the Spaghetti-Western-flavored “The Drifter” and “The Last Act” (which needs to be featured in the right episode of The Walking Dead) – truly nail the feeling of desolation and bitter survival in this zombie apocalypse.

They're one of the truly great rock bands to have come out of the Long Beach scene in the last decade. Incredible guitars (inventive riffs, great melodic structures), wild drums, and bad-ass vocals. This rock opera is right up there for me with the greats. Do yourself a favor and pick this up.… Full Review »

    I caught these guys on their recent West Coast swing and picked up this album along with their first. Put simply, I'm blown away. Where didI caught these guys on their recent West Coast swing and picked up this album along with their first. Put simply, I'm blown away. Where did these guys come from? Incredible drummer, amazing vocals, and a throwback technician for a lead guitar. The songs are so good, it hurts, and I love that they had the balls to do a Rock Opera which such a great freakin' set of themes. I need to get their latest, and I have to see them live again. Really, they're not to be missed.… Full Review »
