I’ve been waking up in Los Angeles for nearly an entire 30 years, sometimes by the warmth of the day’s hot sun, like this Saturday morning. Growing up with CD’s and cassettes, 90’s kids received their fix of the latest music on Tuesdays, unable to resist the favorite tracks on repeat and for x amount of time. Fridays are now when most of us look forward to for such gratification, but this particular new music release brought something quite ear catching to the metal scene. To my ears played a small gem that uniquely shines and was surely much anticipated.

The Mendenhall Experiment’s self-titled EP found itself on repeat in my tiny Bluetooth speaker, pouring out an ambiance that sounds natural within their hard rock deliverance. As I’ve seen the band live only once, it clicked in my mind that they undoubtedly poses the scarily forgotten potential that lies within a triple threat: performance, fluent skill set in musicianship, and lyrical content that can grab the audience. The noticeably auditable desire to express what it means to share a bleeding passion for music with the listener never hurt, either.

From the emotive flow of relatable lyrics to the technical sharpness from the entire band, the 6 track EP will stick with the frequent listener of the rock genre and leave them excited to hear much more. Two special guest appearances are also on the EP, (go get it and find out who they are!) adding a tasty bit of “Fuck Yeah” factor to its well-done mix and production. The Mendenhall Experiment is one band who indeed strike a hunch in the musical side of intuition when it comes to going the distance in their work.
