I have a copy of the CD for my home stereo, one for my disk-man, and another for my car. Ill Fated is a grooving CD that keeps you hanging onto the funky guitar riffs; you might find yourself singing along right up to the last song, What I Want. Props to Ben on Swayin', my personal favorite, and good luck to rest of the band (except J.D.).

Delta Activity - ILL FATED: Nick LoBue (guitar, vocals) sent this alterna-rawk CD in. Ben Henderson wrote all th' lyrics (& also does bass, keys & vocals)... th' rest of the quartet is David Padilla on guitar & vocals & Anthony Olyaee doing drums & percussion. Anthony made the (former) trio a quartet, & it's a welcome addition. He provides a nice punch under the guitars.* They are playin' (very) scripted rockin' pieces, well recorded & high energy... makes for nice road music. They play live in the Bay area at various clubs, & I can see/hear how well they'd fit in th' club scene. Definitely nice (music) writing, & they're tight together, always on time! There's no doubt that you could/would hear somethin' like this on yer' local FM/rock station, & it's entirely possible that you may be hearin' THEM (ever so) soon. If you're lookin' for improv, you'll have to move on... this is most assuredly not free-style, but it has nice energy & lyrical appeal. Some shades of Led Zep style, though time will mature their sound/talent into something uniquely their own. "LongRide" has some nice backin' vox that remind me (in some remote way) of some o' Zappa's live show rock compz, & there's an almost "jazz" feel on the instrumental "Catalogue Action" (my favorite track). We'll be lookin' for their next CD release, verzure... gets a RECOMMENDED for any listeners wantin' somethin' pleasant to rawk&groove with!

ummm, i own about 2000 cds and i must say that i put this in the top 5. an amazing buy. this album is unreal. beautiful.

I had no regretful thoughts about buying this album after seeing these guys play.It has incredible singing,flawless talent on the guitars,and a unique blend of songs that your ears need a double take on.The songs sway into the next,rather then just cute to the other.A blend of jazz and rock make this great to listen to every time!
