ACCOMPLICE is a band from USA that have been playing in a lot of various clubs and theatres throughout California in the last couple of years. They´ve been opening for bands such as: RUSH, VAN HALEN, T.N.T., SAVATAGE, NIGHT RANGER and others. That and the fact that they make good music have giving them a record deal with the Italian label (Adrenaline) and they have now released their first (independent) CD again, this time with one bonus track and a new cover.
ACCOMPLICE is smooth PROGRESSIVE band that plays a lovely mixture of old 70´s band such as STYX , YES, GENESIS, RUSH and the best from the 80´s MARILLION, QUEENSRYCHE & SACRED WARRIOR. What we get is some well played music with catchy melodies and superb vocals by STEPHEN GREEN. He´s got a strong, solid voice that makes every song a joy to listen to.
Opening track "COURAGEOUS" is a song that sounds a lot like 70´s bands like YES & STYX ! The Keyboards are straight from the 70´s and the harmony vocals by all the members are superb! Next track "REACTOR" is one of the highlights on this CD it´s a semi-rocker with truly amazing vocals from GREEN and a sound that fans of old QUEENSRYCHE will enjoy for sure. "FALLIN" is a sad but still very beautiful Piano-ballad with a good chorus. "FOR ALL THE WORLD" do sound a lot like a catchier YES but the song is only 3.25 minutes long,so it´s not one of those long&boring epic´s.
"WELCOME" is a kinda boring ballad with a bad chorus but "CENTURION" is a good uptempo rocker with some great guitarwork by SEAN CLEGG the songs reminds me of SACRED WARRIOR.
