SIENNA Sienna, the fresh, tough sound of the Midlands. With colossal riffs, thundering rhythms and a cascading mixture of emotive lyrics and gut wrenching screams. This visceral five piece are fast becoming the go-to band for a carnal live show and sonic annihilation in a complete atmosphere shattering package. No holds barred, raw, emotive hardcore from the black Heart of England. |

Reviews Wednesday, May 13, 2009
Review from www.brumlive.com Sandwiched between two alternative melodic rock bands was the hard-hitting Sienna who stamped their presence with piercing screams from the off. It was quite a brutal force in comparison to the other bands playing tonight and it certainly got peoples attention. The combination of Sam Duggins’ metal screams and Adison’s indie melodies were quite reminiscent of Alexisonfire. The tempo of the guitars and drums altered depending on who took lead vocals, which created an interesting and diverse sound. At times they had an almost eerie tone especially in ‘Under a Burning Sky’ where the guitars really stood out. ‘For the Harlot’ jolted and pounded, Sams’ growls and whispers demonstrated his exceptional ability. He is a confident frontman. The drums were strong and the guitars tight and intricate, but sometimes a little too distorted to fully appreciate. The melodic vocals could have been a little stronger, however for a band that has only been playing together since November 2008, they have great talent. They are an energetic band and with a little work to polish their performance; this young Birmingham band should have a promising future. The Ghost of a Thousand + The Computers + Sharks + Sienna @ The Rainbow, Digbeth - 6th July 2009 Opening band Sienna are a Midlands based five-piece with an extremely energetic style - vocalist Sam Duggins demonstrating some sort of physically psychotic episode from the out-set! Moreover I found myself truly taken aback by their distinguished professional sound; ‘Under a Burning Sky’ and ‘Invincible’ are both fantastically full and tight offerings showcasing each band member’s technical talents. Rarely do you find an opening band of this calibre and I think they are well worth checking out on one of their pending tour dates. |
