Charlotte-Medusa Groove

Eonian
2010



Relatively new label Eonian records has been making a steady at putting out discs by hard rock bands who were active in the late 80's to really 90's but never got released back then. Orange County, California's Charlotte fit that bill as they were trying to make a go of it twenty plus years ago. They play a style of hard rock with a rather slim blues rock base at the core. This was a rather typical sound of the day and they sound not unlike Great White. It's a rather tight, but very predictable sound. Charlotte manage to sound excited even if the music has few surprises. The vocals are smooth and most of the music is focused and direct. The biggest problem is you feel like you heard this before because you probably have. They pull it off well enough by being fairly catchy and keeping things short and to the point. However I can certainly see why they probably were not signed back in the day because there just isn't any quality here that makes them stand out from the pack. Fans of Great White will likely enjoy this, but others will likely want to pass.
