Satellite

Bombastic. Anthemic. Soulful. Those three words pretty much sum up Satellite. Based in LA, Satellite has a tendency to build a song's crescendo to such a fever pitch that when lead singer Steven McMorran is hitting his stride you are right there with him. This is evident on the lead single off their EP Ring the Bells. "Say the Words" builds and builds until that moment when the band lets loose and you just get chills. McMorran sings like his life depends on it. On the exquisite "Silhouette," McMorran sings of finding hope in a hopeless situation. ("Honey your dreams are big enough/You've given everything but you've given up) Satellite's music is bursting at the seams. Now if only the build up were as good as the payoff, they would be unstoppable. Definitely give them a listen.
