Goldielocks & Xman Music deliver Powder's soon to be released new album titled Sonic Machine. Now this is not one of those bands who haphazardly follows the general rules of music-making and floats about waiting for their turn in the sun. Powder tears a hole in the idea and ascends upon music fans who have been waiting for a new breakthrough band to pioneer a hot, new rock n' roll sound. With Ninette Terhart on vocals, Phil X on guitar, Allan Hearn on bass guitar and J-Bo Dynamite on drums, the band has enough energy to burst through a brick wall. Powder's musical dexterity generates both strong dynamics and impervious unity. Lead vocalist, Ninette Terhart ranges her voice from soft, sexy and sultry to loud, strong and dynamic, propelling the band into a musically engineered blast of high-powered, pop rock sounds. Track 7 titled, "Need A Little Help" features guitar sounds that are pulsating, manic guitar riffs that have much personality in it self. On track 6, Powder covers Led Zeppelin's "What Is And What Should Never Be", hitting all the right notes and vocal energies that would be required to cover this song decorously. And they do. Don't miss Powder's CD party and live show while they will be shooting their first live video at the Key Club on April 3rd at 9:00pm. All ages are welcome
