The Cornerstones is
a four man band based in West London. They have the
four same songs on ReverbNation and SoundCloud, but there is additional material
available via Youtube. I have primarily been listening to SoundCloud.
What's interesting
about that is the first song that comes up, "Smack Me In The Face"
has a somewhat different sound than the other three, so you think you are
getting into something a little more moody and almost psychedelic. It's not
that it sounds drug-infused, but there is an otherworldly sound to it, where
you start to feel a little untethered from the earth. Add to that the lyrics,
which bring to mind space exploration and questions of what love and life
means, and there is just kind of a sixties vibe, but modern. Then "My
Mind" kicks in, and it's rock. Sometimes there is more of a classic rock,
throwback to earlier days feel, but yes, basically rock.
I do recommend
watching the video for my mind, because even though it's not particularly
fancy, it gives an extra feel for the song, which is a pretty good song.
One of the things I
like about The Cornerstones is that they build in these intricate little
textures that aren't particularly showy, but they keep up the auditory
interest.
Videos indicates
that the songs are available through iTunes.
