Sabrosa Purr
Music From the Violet Room
Available: October 4, 2005
Label: Dangerbird Records

The scant reviews and background to be found online for this group all tout echos of Pink Floyd, Secret Machines and Nirvana, but when listening to Sabrosa Purr’s new EP, Music From the Violet Room, I hear two influences even stronger: Filter frontman Richard Patrick’s subtle lyrical approach and vocal screams (e.g. “The Lovely People”) and then an old and new Billy Corgan-influence both musically and vocally on the rest of the tracks.

With that said, this band is actually pretty good and the EP is fairly strong. The group has dates scheduled in CA and AZ through November. If they venture toward the Midwest, I’d spend money to see them at a small venue.

Between their MySpace site and official site, you can pretty much listen to the whole album. If you like it, buy it and help these guys buy a van so they can broaden their tour.
