Life
gotcha down? Bummed cause you’re stuck, listening to the same old stuff on the
radio (and music library)? Well perhaps you should take a trip to The Energy Clinic. This young foursome
can take any drab room (or bar) and quickly fill it with colorful sounds of
dreamy melodic progressions.

Their music is kinda like an uptempo-ish rock with groovy and funky twists and turns - Does anyone remember ‘No Doubt?’ Ok, so think old-school ‘No Doubt,’ with early/mid Incubus progressive alternative rock styles. Now make it really well rounded and polyphonically arranged, and there you have it – the shit is bananas.

The lead singer has an incredible voice with tons of character and emotion. It wasn’t until I got a copy of their recent recordings that I was able to actually hear the words she is singing in these dance-evoking tunes; and now I realize there’s a lot more going on here than pretty notes and melodies. The girl’s got some shit to say, so listen up.

While you could easily spend a show lost in Steff’s
vocals, the true meat and potatoes of the band, in my opinion, are the dudes
behind the strings, Sam and Raad. Constantly countering each other’s rhythms
and progressions, they create an elaborate, well-woven composition that demonstrates how well they are in-tune with their
instruments as well as one another. Which then leaves the drummer, John,
a hefty task of syncopations,
drops, and tempo changes; but don’t worry, he’s no Ringo – this boy can
rock
his drum set, he just doesn’t always try to be as unnecessarily flashy
as some
other drummers.

The Energy Clinic
creates undeniably soul-clutching music, which makes each show an exquisite
experience. I truly suggest you find their next show, and pencil yourself in
for a musically-induced therapeutic jam session that will re-energize your mind,
and probably get your body and soul movin’ (or, mostly likely in your ‘booty’
reigon). The Energy Clinic is a
refreshing reminder that in a world of over-produced bullshit, there are still
well composed bands with amazingly talented and creative individuals.
