Bella Clava is a visit back to the good old rock days when bands would jam out, think late 60’s to mid 70’s. Lots of keyboards, jamming guitars, and killer drums thrown into the mix with that late era classic rock vibe. Bass is jamming, Guitar is driving, keys both bar song yet groovy organ, and drums guiding in that toe tapping induced count. Vocals are fantastic and male/female members provide lead on several songs as well as background. Ambience on the album is a rollercoaster ride from a jam track like Fairweather Fiends to the darker sounding Ding Dong Ditch. It’s all good for those fans of rock music that have been patiently waiting for good rock music to return.

There isn’t much else to say about Bella Clava that I haven’t already said. If this helps, during my research on the band, which seemed pretty pointless since the album speaks for itself, they seem to be a bunch of jokers. See their Last.FM band description then check out their FB page. No kidding, they seem like not only do they rock out but they’ve got a great collective sense of humor. Well worth checking out. Be sure to hit up the link to their Myspace page where they have a stream for Ding Dong Ditch and Food For Cannibals from Holy Crow, as well as tunes from their previous work. Enjoy.
