‘Radha’ is the hotly anticipated debut album from Ohio’s own eclectic rock band TasteFull. Starting their journey at a jam house party hosted by Sam Smith (Lead Guitarist / Lead Vocalist), the members of TasteFull were struck by their instant chemistry and shared passion for rock classics. Naming themselves TasteFull ahead of a Battle of the Bands, TasteFull went on to embark on the formative journey that would imprint them into the Cincinnati music scene, bringing them together with some of the best artists among their peers.Their debut single ‘Oxygen’ was met with success, finding the ears of multiple radio DJ’s at prominent stations including WEBN, 106.3 The Project, and 96 Rock.
Rooted in intricate grooves, sleek instrumentation and refined songwriting, ‘Radha’ is a well crafted alternative rock album. The band use raw fuzzed guitar to create a psychedelic haze around the songs, while elastic driving bass grooves and pounding drum progression create a beefy and powerful foundation. This is most apparent within ‘Oxygen’ and ‘Flight of the Sparrow’. With desert rock elements glimmering through guitar on ‘Deep in the Lines’ and ‘Paint a Picture’, the band create a diverse and thoroughly enjoyable listening experience. As the album progresses, the band display their musical prowess and ability to blend genres with elements of grunge and psychedelia weaving through the underbelly of classic rock tunes such as ‘Running in Circles’.
TasteFull have created an exhilarating collection of tunes that showcase the band’s deft musical ability and vigour. Each track runs at a brisk, fluid pace, with the raspy emotive vocals from Sam Smith tying the songs together. TasteFull maintains the high and dynamic soundscape throughout the album, with ‘La Llorona’ becoming the pinnacle moment within the record – showcasing elements of Spanish guitar and filled with oodles of vibrancy, this infectious ditty is a real treat.
Featuring shredding solo’s and masterful bass grooves intertwined between majestic songwriting and blazing soundscapes, ‘Radha’ is an intoxicating new album from TasteFull.
