    Screen is an alternative rock band based in Alphen aan de Rijn, Holland. Two of their members had experiences in metalbands (Salutary & Beneficial) but wanted to go in a different direction. This was way back in 1997. The self produced album they placed into my hands is their CD debut. Musically it's very easy for me to say they play alternative rock, so let's describe it a little more. Their music seems to be a variation of quiet parts with acoustic guitar picking, and heavier, grungy, parts. The acoustic parts often have all sorts of pleasant sounds, being gentle and calm. As it comes to the heavier parts I sometimes miss an aggressive tone to the distorted guitars to make them sound fierce. Vocally you can hear a dreamy kind of lead vocals, in the vein of Starflyer 59. The five songs are well constructed. To draw to a conclusion, Some Feelings is a good debut for alto rockers Screen.
