(Heavy Metal) Kavan - Side By Side - 2013, MP3, 320 kbps

Kavan - Melodic, metal-fused Hard Rock. Revered as one of the top live bands in the Los Angeles area, Kavan has played every stage imaginable in SoCal, including being granted a residency at the world famous Whisky-A-Go-Go. Kavan’s origin spans the globe with members hailing from all over the US, Ireland, and Japan. This highly focused 5-piece group plays as one collective unit with an explosive energy that helps to grow their rabid fan base with every performance. The sound is often compared to some of the most legendary rock bands in the world, only with a new edge, and the band proudly welcomes the acclaim.

Kavan consists of the guitar stylings of Billy Peele, whose heavy handed rhythm sound enhances and complements the lead runs of lightning fast Taka Takamino to create a unique blend of harmonies and headbanging riffs. The heartbeat of the band is made up of machine gun drums by Zak McAdamis and the very distinct bass sound from Rudy Nuno, who lays a solid foundation to lock this quintet in place. Lastly, Ireland’s own Paul Harkin: Vocalist & Entertainer. His performances hold audiences spellbound with the depth of the lyrics to the larger-than-life stage show. Paul's on-stage rockstar persona is highlighted by his humble sentiment, genuinely communicating and connecting with the audience. Tune in and see for yourself.
