Aristo G - Overdrive

On his new EP, Overdrive, Melbourne based one man band Aristo G taps into a little bit of everything from rock, punk and pop to goth, industrial and electronic/syth rock to create an outstanding set of tunes.  The title track starts things off with a spy movie guitar leading into a super infectious electronic rock-based tune with laser beam effects and his captivating vocals that have a hint of Morrissey.  The faster, almost punk paced “Your Life Is Now” is another very synth driven electronic tune, but with more of a pop edge and vocals that are reminiscent of Michael Hutchence.  With more of an industrial beat and some killer rock guitar licks, “Love Games” could be described as electro industrial rock.  Kicking up the industrial beat a notch, closing track “Pantomime” has more great guitar work and a touch of Depeche Mode.  While it's only four tracks the EP is very impressive and shows tons of diversity, which shows great promise for his future releases.
