Lethbridge modern rock band the Void are back with a brand new CD “RobotSpaceLove.”
While playing live they have a very strong Smashing Pumpkins’ mid-’90s alt rock sound, it is not as prevalent as I thought it would be on their new CD.
Instead it is a solid collection of mostly mid-tempo, melodic alt-rockers.
There is plenty of catchy rhythm guitar and the odd solo plus yelping vocals from Jon Vornbrock, who definitely s
hows a Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan influence.
The track “Everyone” begins with a tender arpeggiated riff then breaks into a wall of distortion like many of a grunge and post grunge band did back in the way.
“Robot Song From Robot Son” is in a similar vein, though slower.
They pick up the tempo a lot on “Knife to the Heart,” one of the heavier tracks on the CD.
“Lucy” s the most angst ridden of the collection while “Love and Distortion is among the slowest.
they end on another angst ridden note with “Love Trips,” on which Vornbrock shows he has a powerful scream.
It is a great sounding recording. So if you like modern, ’90s style, grunge influenced rock, then you will thoroughly enjoy the Void’s new CD ”Robotspacelove.”
