Rocktopia: 8-is - 'Frame Of Us' - CD / Album Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Mark Warburton: Italy has thrown up some excellent bands in the last two years, with a lot due to their association with mainstay record label Frontiers, while some outfits manage to gain appeal through their own means. One of those is new Rome based band 8-Is. Unusual name it might be, and simplistic too, but these guys live at the town square of Italian AOR, were formed in Rome during the early part of 2009, and were originally called Frame. Singer Marcello Catalano and drummer Franco Casini were the two principal members alongside guitarist Rob Franzo, and while the band took shape, membership of personnel came and went and Franzo exited the band to be replaced by Milone. http://ping.fm/XnJNR
