Ivan Mihaljevic & Side Effects – Counterclockwise is a great original blend of hard rock, and melodic vocals – accompanied by funky break downs. It doesn’t matter if you’re into old rock or new, this album nails all of that and more.
The creative ways Ivan Mihaljevic & Side Effects blend the music is very well polished, as they move from melodic serene verses to hard choruses. Not many artists can accomplish such a broad variety of sounds! The production of this album is very clean – it is as if old rock was modernized. However, the “good-for-the-soul” sounds that Ivan Mihaljevic& Side Effects gives you is not only because it’s been “well produced”.
The singer’s voice is undeniably something that strikes your interest and draws you into the music.
Backing him are blaring guitars and “on point” drums that just emulate the entire vibe of the music.
Lyrics can range from anything like; finding one’s true identity, overcoming obstacles, Interestingly enough, the vocals don’t just have males – the blending of female vocals into the male is rather entrancing.
This is defiantly something that one could enjoy driving, in times of happiness or sorrow, times of deep introspection, and even parties.
The energy behind this album is sure to make people sing out loud together. Ivan Mihaljevic & Side Effects has a strong. Embodying an uplifting feel too it – even though difficult times, decisions, and issues are being addressed.
Nearly therapeutic, Ivan Mihaljevic & Side Effects is honestly a very good album for anyone that is interested in alternative rock.
I can see them “blowing up” as they say in the industry. As the album progresses, the group’s diversity really comes to surface. Slow paced moments with deep, sensitive moments occur. In these moments, all is harmonic and you truly relate to that kind of torn love or feeling. Other times, that same “vibe” turns around into aggressive guitars and fast clever drums.
A sound that nearly any “rock” fan could relate with, I am confident ___ will make it in the music industry, if not soon to blow up after this is released.
