Hailing from the beaches of the Tampa/St. Petersburg, FL.
area, Malaya is making waves with a style of music that combines pop,
alternative, progressive, hard rock, and a wee bit of metal. Just to be able to
encompass all these genres in their repertoire and make them work for them is
proof that they are moving in the right direction.
Recently on tour of the Southern states, East Coast and some
in the Midwest, they have finely honed their music and have a vast library of
music to be able to release 4 LP's in succession. With Robin Carbonell on
vocals with her powerful pipes; Adam Irizarry jamming out on guitars; Dan
Marcantonio giving up the bottom on bass and Dan Reitmeyer banging on the drums
all day, they come together to create some really cool music.
The new track, “Dreamcatcher”, combines Dan R's energetic
backbeat, with Adam's resonating riffs and Dan M's rhythms that should breakout
in CHR/ALT formats in short order. Robin's strong vocals permeate throughout
this track.
I can see this band turning the heads of music insiders and
getting the just rewards that they deserve. I, for one, have become a believer
and look for great things to happen to these talented musicians. On the
Nor'easter Storm Scale, I give this track a FORCE 3! Well Done!
