On August 25th, indie rock band Once are set to release what is sure to be one of the albums of the years, Drop Chocolate Not Bombs. With a killer production team and a style that is all their own; Once are set to take the music scene by storm.

        The CD opens with the track “Day Like This”, can interesting track full of heavy distortion and the soothing vocals of Sami, their charismatic lead singer. “Change”, the first single off of the album, displays both the musical diversity of the band and the range the vocals can take. The CD seems to be an experimental mix with each song sounding totally different then the ones before it. Listen to the song “London Time” and you can hear the creativity of this band.

       Overall, Once have taken the best aspects of bands such as Oasis, Muse, and Joy Division making a sound that is strikingly familiar and yet all there own. These rockers from across the sea should find their way onto radios and Mp3 players worldwide.
