OBSCURE SOUND
“So Says the Man” is a rousing rock anthem from David Alter, from his forthcoming satirical rock musical, Resurrection: The Musical. The infectious title-referencing chorus touts a fun likeness to power-pop band Jellyfish. A lusher vocal section past the two-minute mark appears with enjoyable briefness, rising cohesively into the hook’s re-emergence. The musical is gearing up for release later this year, and “So Says the Man” is indication of a captivating, entertaining time with eclectic musical appeal

Individual song reviews
Track: Resurrection
".....Thanks for sharing this material to us. We really feel this song's punchy and hard-hitting orchestration. It's brimming with driving hard rock textures that are nicely stitched with melodic classic rock undertones. It's so solid, engaging, and flowing. Thematically it gives off a powerful and flowing vibe. The sound resonates with the likes of Audioslave, Soundgarden, with a touch of Oasis...."- UNXIGNED

Track: Still Believin'
"Congrats on the single David. What a powerful addition to your arsenal. Right in the heart of theatric rock. Just hits the heart strings in the right way. It's being groomed for a musical, but would have loved it to rock a bit longer. Wanted more and more, is what we are saying..." - COMEHEREFLOYD
"Thanks for sending another one. This is so interesting to listen to. We like the really classic vibes this gives off. The style recalls the likes of Queen, Air Supply, Journey. You really got style and with this one it proved to be diverse. We enjoyed the piano-led instrumental and the spot-on vocal harmonization permeating the stereo fields. Such makes the song all the more engaging and easily impressive. While ultimately the appeal comes off as patterned on some of the past masters' blueprint, we recognize sheer skills and this deserves a place in our playlists nevertheless..." UNXINGED

Track: So Says The Man
"Thanks for sharing another track. We really think you have a natural penchant for '90s-tinged alt-rock work. This one comes off as easy to vibe to, with creative use of minor chords to create an engaging progression. We sense a touch of classic rock permeating the air and what's more, its rhythmic character really does have an edge." - UNXIGNED
Track: Holy Moses
"A big classic soul and rock performance with some really big production work and a lot of influence from classics of the genre with a hint of a gospel sound early on. Really lovely stuff ....." WEALLWANTSOMEONE
