Bionic Jodi
Prelude to a Disc
Reviewed by Brian Vincent McGovern
Remember Asight Unseen? It was one of those ahead-of-their-time modern rock bands that never really got the recognition it deserved. Well, two of those members (John Oliveira and Jason Lohrke) have formed Bionic Jodi with John McElwee and Bob Morley, and have released an extremely well-crafted four- song EP as a preview for an upcoming album. While generally staying in the hard modern rock category, this product also enjoys bits of variety, with a few vocals akin to PFR's, an occasional soft keyboard/acoustic guitar moment, background vocals of all kinds, and a few disco wah-drenched solos. Some of the guitars and lead vocals remind one of the Curious Fools. Let's hope these guys get some attention.
