Mako

Cyclefly were alternative rock act in the late 90's who released two albums. I caught them supporting Bush soon after they'd released their debut album in 1999 and again in 2002 when I saw them headlining. They had such presence and great songs and really didn't release enough music into this world. Thankfully two members of the band have a new project called Mako.

Declan O'Shea (vocals) and Christian Montagne (guitar and bass) formed Mako after a brief project called Hueman (also featuring other members of Cyclefly) following the breakup of Cyclefly in 2003. Hueman did not release any records, but there are still a few songs streaming on their MySpaz page.

Mako, on the other hand, released their debut album this year. Living On Air keeps the great songwriting of O'Shea, but stips down the sound of the previous band withour losing any of the integrity. Check out the video for 'Grace' and get lost in his voice:
