“ReDrova” is Balkun Brothers’ first full-length, self-produced album that includes an impressive variety of musical styles that sends the listener on a journey from the roots of American blues to the future of rock n’ roll and beyond. Drawing inspiration from the traditional sounds of delta and electric blues, then fusing it with heavy guitar riffs and funky in-the-pocket rhythms, the album aims to push the known boundaries of the blues. This set of songs speaks volumes about the band’s growth sonically, lyrically and musically, showcasing a vast amount of new age, energetic melodies that are strategically intertwined within varying dynamic ranges throughout the entire album to capture the listener at every twist and turn.
