We had the luck of the irish when we came across Charetta, they are a band who stands out from the rest of them!

Their first album “Defying the Inevitable” just blew us away and we had the privlidge to play “You Prevail” and “It runs in the blood” Now there is a new EP about to be released called “a Nation Distracted”

This is a full on display of gritty riffs to sensual tones and is a ride you do not want to miss.

As soon as the EP starts you can tell you are going on an adventure especially when you hear Angelina DelCarmen (vocals) softly caress you into a feeling of safety to then thrust you into a grinding rythem of Richard Mollo (bass) and Adonis Sanchez (drums) with the signiture cruch that can only be Pablo LaFrossia (guitar) and his left handed craziness.

Now they have expanded further and have become a 5 piece with Chris Fullam joining the ranks on guitar which you can tell has given a different sound and feel on “A.N.D.” compared to “Defy”, you have to sign up for the preorder now or else you will be disappointed to get this late.

Charetta have matured so much musically from the last album and we cannot wait to see what is coming next and what direction they will take us on because getting a great album like “Defy” to then be able to follow it up with something so strong like “A.N.D.” is rare to see with bands these days.  There is no way in hell that you can call them a one hit wonder.

Please do not take my word for it, I would say to go and get a ticket to the live event “Gotham Rocks” where they will be releasing the EP in style on the 21st July at Irving Plaza.  You will be in for a treat.  You can get tickets through their website at www.charetta.com/store and there is more information on their site about the event.

You can get their music via iTunes here and of course listen out to JJFM Live for more music by Charetta!
