Band:EB11 Album:She Record Company:Unsigned Writer: The Vish Media: Myspace Click Album Cover To Buy Now

Hey! Guess who's not cut out for this type of music! The Vish. That's who. EB11 is from Miami, FL or Tenerife, Spain. I guess both, considering that's what EB11's myspace page says. EB11 is a one man band... or something. There are pictures of him (Eber Pitrelli's stage name is EB11) with a band and just by himself alone. I suppose the band photos are hired musicians, but that's neither here nor there, I guess. This demo that I have is titled “She” after the second song on it. I can tell you that I am absolutely bored to tears with this guy's music.

This demo is an alternative rock yawn-fest. Pitrelli's vocals are terrible. He is tone deaf in areas and the rest of the time he just sounds bad. This dude just shouldn't sing. Period. It's like he's trying to sound like Sublime's Brad Nowell, but he, Pitrelli, can't even hold Nowell's jock strap on his best day. He has no range, no tone and sounds like he's making up the songs as he goes. The lyrics blow and I'll be happy to never hear them again. All of the songs are about chicks. Love songs and that type of bullshit. Gag me.

The music itself isn't that bad. If there were no vocals, hell, it'd be one hell of a solidly generic demo. Put a good vocalist on top of the music and you'd have something radio-worthy. The music is definitely spawned from 90's alt-rock in the vein of Sublime (without the reggae/ska), only I just don't feel that it has any soul. That's just me, but, then again, I'm no connoisseur of this musical style.

What was advertised on the sleeve of this disc were four songs. “Myself Again” has vocals that sound like something a 13 year old kid would write and then sing off key but think that it is totally awesome. Hell, that's what most of this demo sounds like: bad music made by somebody in their early teens. The problem is that Pitrelli is a grown man making this music. “She”, “Be The One”, and “Going On” are more of the same and sorta run into each other so that you don't know when the next song starts, which shows a lack of diversity in the song writing. I thought that I was done after the fourth song, I was sadly mistaken, because there is a FIFTH song called “Forget”. If you noticed how I described the first four songs, then just throw this one in with the lot of them.

I cannot stand EB11. The music alone is mediocre at best, but workable. The vocals are unlistenable, but the rhythm section sounds good enough. As I am typing this, the disc and the case that it came in are in the garbage. It shall stay there until it goes to the dump. I hope it gets covered up and never sees the light of day again.
