Record Roundup with Vendetta Rose,
The New Black, and Pyrenesia
Vendetta Rose vocalist-keyboard-
ist Alec Demello, 16, has one of the
best voices I’ve heard in a while,
like Chris Robinson of The Black
Crowes or a young Rod Stewart,
but with a greater range and better
phrasing. At times, his voice seems
almost out of place in the young
progressive hard rock band, bet-
ter suited for a Stonesy roots-rock
outfit, but since he writes a good
NJ STAGE - ISSUE 58
chunk of the songs, I guess this is
Demello’s style. And it’s very emo-
tional at that, chronicling a heart
and mind of darkness.
The tornado-like “Silent Letter”
about a suicide note yet to be writ-
ten opens the emotional storm of
Vendetta Rose’s four-song debut
EP, Tilted Directions, and is the
