Zeus - FUV Live - 2014
The mighty Zeus are back! I love this band. We had them in for their last album, Busting Visions, which was a fantastic collection of power pop. The Canadian band released their fourth album, Classic Zeus, last year. The new songs confirm that this band is a well-oiled machine.
What I find so impressive about these guys is that there are three different songwriters: Mike O'Brien, Carlin Nicholson, and Neil Quin. They each have a style of their own, but placed within their albums, the songs—no matter who wrote them—all converge into a unique, classically Zeus sound. This may have something to do with drummer Rob Drake's ability to keep it all flowing seamlessly together.
It was an absolute pleasure to host these guys in FUV's Studio A again.
