Delightfully

Los Angeles based band comprised of Daniel OBrien (vocalist/writer/producer) and Jeff Hull (drummer/writer/producer) who have been together now for over 9 years. The bands sound is a unique and hypnotic blend of Alternative Rock and Pop music a la Coldplay and U2. The songs are memorable and catchy, and the lyrics stem from Daniels own view of the world through dark, mysterious, and thought provoking glasses. Daniel was a staff writer for BMG and MCA and has had several songs released with other artists such as Heart, Susanna Hoffs (of The Bangles), and Terri Nunn (of Berlin). Jeff Hull has been writing music for EMI and is a prolific producer/writer and performer on drums and several other instruments. He has written and/or produced a number of songs for artists such as Holly Cole, Susanna Hoffs, Chynna Phillips and Jane Weidlen. Atenzia. 2005.


Listener Supported is the latest release from Dave Matthews Band, and I can only think of one word to describe it AWESOME!

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce thats exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

Dave Matthews Band is one of those groups that have the ability to just bowl you over with their collective talent. The kind of musicians its really a treat to be able to listen to.

Overall Listener Supported is excellent from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Rock fan. Really spectacular from beginning to end.

While this entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are Disc 1 - Track 2 - Pantala Naga Pampa, Disc 1 - Track 7 - Crash Into Me, and Disc 2 - Track 10 - All Along The Watchtower.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is Disc 2 - Track 7 - Long Black Veil. This is a great track!
