THE RAINBIRD – The Tiger Dreams 2013

The Rainbird is an Italian band put together by songwriter/guitarist Fabrizio “Bonalien” Bonanno. Their music lies somewhere between sleazy hard rock and AOR, and it lies there wounded and stabbed. While there’s likeable elements in some of the songs, all hope is gone when the vocalist starts singing… He is so out of key most of the time that it’s sheer torture to listen to these songs. Where’s Autotune when it’s needed? Wasn’t anybody listening in the studio?Review by Kimmo Toivonen
