Freak Kitchen
This is one band who got their name right, as their very distinctive
style almost defies comparison.
Basically, the band plays upbeat, technically minded hard rock/metal
(progressive hard rock?),
with frequent vocal harmonies and a flair for offbeat lyrics (as
evidenced by their song titles).
For some reason, bands such as
Atomic Opera,
or perhaps a hyperactive version of
King's X,
come to mind, but this is really a band in a field of their own.
Much of the credit goes to the intricate, very distinctive guitar
playing of mainman Mattias Eklundh, with flashy yet tasteful
solos and an interesting riffing style.
Their quirky style may not be for everyone, but they deserve a
listen, as they truly are a unique entity in hard music.
