I love new music and I particularly like it when I have no prior knowledge of a band as I have no perceptions going in to the album other than track names. Domenica out of Canada have me intrigued with what I can expect with titles such as 'Music', 'I Love My Gun' , 'Vampires' and 'Porno State Of Mind' so let's see... I give you 'The Luxury'

'Music' the opener boasts a chorus saying 'I'll never turn off the music' good start as I didn't want to turn it off. A great vibe to the opener but hang on track 2 kicks in, a much more fast paced rocker called 'what goes around' I love this one. Singer Bekki has a kick ass rock voice and I can't wait to hear what the rest of the album delivers. 'Above Me' is the first single lifted from the album and I can tell why. It's catchy, fresh and boasts a great middle 8 ooh and a   guitar solo. Sold. Not sure if I'm sold on track 4 yet, musically killer, great guitar riff. Lyrically unsure. It will win me over hopefully, unfortunately this was 'I Love My Gun' a track I was looking forward to but up to now it's the one I'd skip. It's not bad, just not an instant grabber. But hey I'm subconsciously tapping my foot, so what do I know?! Oh hello 'No Matter What You Say' now this is my favourite so far. Killer chorus. Easily a single if required.

'Lady Like Me' hits a groove remnant of the late 70s early 80s rock style. I wonder why she'd be going out fishing?! Oh wait. I get metaphors. I like this one. I'm only half way through the album and I'm 90% sold. Great sign. Let's see what the rest of the album can bring...

We're getting a little industrial now. I'd like 'The Long Road' to build. It's a little flat so far and hasn't grabbed me yet, vocally her voice is sublime but if I put a treat out do you think it'll come get it and get heavy in a minute?! Here songy songy songy... Ok so didn't like that treat.

Ahhh you were just waiting for the next track. See this is 'Vampires' it had to be heavy!! Much better.  Wait, I need to write a letter. Dear Twilight, why didn't you use this song on your original soundtrack? It's clearly awesome. Please let me know and can I also ask for a signed picture of the werewolf guy for my fiancé? Thanks. Love your movies. Troy. There, that'll show em. This song is awesome. I love the sound that Domenica have made their own, I can't even compare it to anyone. It's unique. That's an awesome thing in music these days so big kudos.

'Blackmoon' is a safe track, perfect for track 9. It's not going to change the world but it's good. 'Free' is the third track on the album to be co written and feature Marcos Curiel from P.O.D. And this one is an acoustic driven number and a really good one at that. I'm such a sucker for an acoustic guitar. It's moving and at times haunting. This one is up there for me as close to the best on the album. Well done.  Whoa. No mucking around there straight back into it as we hit 'Luxury' every guitar is turned up to 11 and is rockin hard. 'Porno State Of Mind' is solid. I don't love it but it's a foot tapper with it's Iron Maidenesque harmony guitar solo.

We're up to the final track 'Sailaway' a fair way to round out the album, strings are always a seller with me and we even get a violin trading licks with a guitar in the solo. I love it. Great ending to a great new album. Yeah at times it's a little sketchy, but that's just me being picky and anyway don't take my word for it. Do yourself a favour, check out Domenica now before they get bigger so you can say 'i liked them before they were cool' that's what I'll be doing.
