La Chinga
\nBeyond the Sky
\n<\/i>(Small Stone Records)
\n4\/5<\/p>\n

Beyond The Sky<\/i>, the third album from Vancouver rockers La Chinga, is a masterpiece full of life, freedom, and, most importantly, good pure rock.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNothin\u2019 that I Can\u2019t Do\u201d is an ideal way to kick off this incredible album. The guitar work is on par with Slash\u2019s, and the vocals are up there with Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge and Slash\u2019s band, and sound strikingly similar, with heated, working-class growls that hiss into the pleasure centre of the brain.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not all high-octane rock, though: La Chinga isn\u2019t afraid to slow things down for a few bars, only to then thump listeners over the head with amazing, full-bodied, and powerful riffs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The album struggles to maintain life partway through, but somehow it never dies, proving that this band is capable of expanding well past the Vancouver music scene.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Parts of some songs, such as \u201cKeep on Rollin\u2019,\u201d go on longer than they need to, but the flexibility of the vocals and guitars is this band\u2019s heart and blood and makes for a fresh and worthwhile sound that is scarce in rock music today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
