2019 - You voted,
the polls have closed and the winner of the 94th ROCKWIRED ARTIST OF
THE MONTH title is DALI VAN GOGH on
the strength of
their new album UNDER HER SPELL. In
all the years that we've known DALI VAN GOGH, we could always rely on
the Nova Scotia-based band to deliver a rocking good time with every
successive release, but with their latest album UNDER HER SPELL, they
really mean it. As a publication, we can't help but get all warm and
sentinemtnal when it comes to these guys. They were one of the first
bands to be featured on ROCKWIRED MAGAZINE in 2012 and all those years
ago, despite their relative youth, they were a band who had been
through some drastic line up changes but for guitarist and founder
ISAAC KENT, it was all par for the course. The music was the mission
and it seemed this grunge metal juggernaut was going to go the distance
until the band broke up in 2014 and KENT shifted his attention to the
entreprenuerial task of turning the DALI VAN GOGH brand into an
independent record label. With a few signings, one would have
thought that KENT's future as music mogul was secure until a fire
destroyed his recording studio and home. The devastating set back
forced KENT to re-examine his life and his brand and from the ashes
emerged a new and improved DALI VAN GOGH with a 2016 album aptly titled
FROM THE ASHES, which showcased the band and KENT's unshakable spirit.
Now with their new release UNDER HER SPELL, DALI VAN GOGH issue the
very blistering hard rock that they have made their unmistakable
trademark, but this time around, the band is more interested in serving
up a good time with such tracks as the single, GET AWAY, SUPERMAN AND
MacGYVER and EAST COAST WITCHES.
