Fiery rock n' roll band Aloud is known for their tight male/female vocals,
exceptionally strong songwriting, and energy-filled live performances. Lead
vocalists/guitarists and songwriters Jen de la Osa and Henry Beguiristain
have been collaborating as songwriters since their early teens.
Exile represents a sea change for Aloud. Bandleaders Henry Beguiristain and
Jen de la Osa spent over a year in the studio creating the album following
the departure of their original rhythm section. The result is a beautiful and
strange collection of songs featuring often-unfulfilled, complex characters
coming to terms with bleak circumstances while searching for hope and
relief in unlikely places.
Overall, Exile is Aloud's most sophisticated and experimental album to
date, showcasing their new-found love of orchestration, Sgt. Pepper-like
production, and rich, lyrical imagery. Exile is Aloud's third full-length
album and is the debut album from talented producer/engineer Daniel
Nicholas Daskivich. The album was fan-funded via Kickstarter.com.
Aloud will be touring as in support of Exile this fall, returning to CMJ this
October before heading off on a coast-to-coast tour, encompassing the
entire United States in over 50 performances.
