You either go home or go hard and the Italian-based independent rock artist Andrea Bryon alias Byron’s Brigades, has chosen the latter as he enjoys producing originals and popular covers of hit songs that we grew up listening to. He is an opportunist who saw a creative venture during the 2020 pandemic and lockdown and decided to pursue it. He grew up as a virtuosic guitar player and he has been largely influenced by the 50s, 60s, and 70s rock sound. His authenticated covers are decorated with a never-ending vibe and you will find yourself gravitating towards his stylistic influence over these popular covers- he has a unique way of making his influence ring over those covers and it feels like a thing only he is capable of.
Byron’s Brigades’ endearing sound and instrumental play reaches both intrigue and inspiration, with a hint of pure melodic awesomeness and if you already didn’t know him, it is advisable you consider adding another favorite classic ‘rocker’ to your list of favorite artists- he has got that addicting swagger in him!
On his latest cover edition, he decided to take us back to the delicious rock sound by the band Shivaree on their famous hit song, “Goodnight Moon” and he did some exceptional justice to this tune. By adding a dark spice to the melodic spark, he allows this tune to feel nostalgically familiar yet ethereally original- such a marvelous conundrum for any listener!
Right from the intro with the coruscating percussion riffs that stick to the mind like superglue, you absolutely know you are in for a treat. This is an epic-sounding orchestral piece as Byron’s Brigades has cooked up a fantastic cover that manages to balance its moments of majestic splendor and delicate introspection spectacularly. With its percussive riffs, dark-infused rock guitars, and some striking drums, this is one of those covers that respectfully honor the original whilst using its creative freedom as a springboard to reach the exciting new musical ground.
This is an absolute favorite and its indescribably invented melodicism fits perfectly with the emotions being displayed by his soaring vocal performance.
