LILIAC, an impressive young band

Post by Guillaume » Wed Feb 27, 2019 1:03 pm

Liliac is a band of 3 brothers and 2 sisters, the Cristeas, who are between 10 and 18 years old. Their father is their manager and producer, the mother is involved as well. They are really good at their instruments already IMO and the bassist/singer has a particularly killer ballsy voice.

From their website:
Florin and Nineta Cristea, as kids growing up in Romania and coming from a very religious background, the odds being the parents of a heavy metal band living in Los Angeles are astronomical. Twenty years and five kids later, the dream/nightmare continues...

Forever branded as the black sheep of their family and church, they have dedicated their lives to their kids and their musical dreams.

They also released their 1st album, Chain Of Thorns, more in the modern hard rock style, but well done for the couple songs I heard so far. I'll say again, the singer is excellent.

Yeah this ain’t bad ... I’d rather listen to her sing than Ronny Romero or Diego Valdez for sure !

Gosh... speaking of families of musicians (and no I won’t mention Hanson or Nelson) does anyone remember The Kelly Family? There were like 20 kids in that family right? And all of them played some kind of instrument ...

Chain Of Thorns is a good EP from the band with all originals.

A bit too modern rock for me, but good for what it is indeed. These kids have potential. Especially the singer.
