I’ll tell you what: It’s about his voice. If you can remember back to the days when the radio airwaves were dominated by solid Adult Contemporary Rock that actually rocked and was never easily mistaken for the soundtrack to a commercial for auto insurance, then you’ll probably dig Owenstone. Fronted by remarkably gifted (and, also, hot) vocalist Nathan Owen, this LA-based quintet avoid being pigeonholed by jumping on any current sub-genre bandwagon and just deliver an adhesively melodic song with an accessible message, repeat play appeal and hooks for days. As a wise man once said, they let the Music do the talking. Orchestral touches lift the arrangement but don’t get in the way of the beat. Well done!

We are also fairly crazy about the propulsive and slightly menacing “This Face,” the video for which you can groove on at This Link. Visit Ownestone’s FaceBook page Here. Enjoy!
