Review:
Now here is something I never would have imagined, a Japanese southern rock band! The Savoy Truffle may not have mastered the southern rock genre yet, but they give it good try.
  The foreign boys seem to have listened to allot of Allman Brothers music in their formative years. Vocalist Monji Kadowaki occasionally sounds like Deep Purple's Ian Gillan, at times his vocals seemed forced, but his style grows on you with repeated listens. Guitarist Toshihiro Sumitomo never lets up throughout the entire album (typical of this genre) and is allowed to shine on the thirteen plus minutes of "Brother To Brother." Stand-out tracks include "Change The World In Me", "Why Live For Dying?" (with it's harmonica addition) and "Feel So Bad".
  The band has a good grasp of the blues, while sometimes implementing a funky bottom end. It's southern rock for sure, but not generic. Check the boys out at www.live-indies.com/savoy.html and hear what could very well be the first Japanese southern (or should it now be eastern?) rock band.
