Don't Mess With Texas
Instrumental and epic rock band
Zagreb, Hrvatska |
DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS was formed in
Zagreb, Croatia in January of 2004. After the break up of Radio Free Isaac (and
prior to that the bands Nikad and Lunar). Neven, Ozren and Sasa decided to form
another band and wasted no time creating their own brand of instrumental and
epic rock. They started practicing and working on new songs without a bass player,
relying solely on guitar, drum, and piano. After a while Ivana joined the band
on bass and added the missing rhythmic component. The band was finally complete
and ready to record their first album, in the span of just a few months.
The result is here and proudly presented
by Moonlee Records. Their first full length was produced, arranged, and recorded
by members of the band in a collaborative effort, and throughout the process,
a collective discernment and a tidy, economical style unique to DMWT has been
born. Contrary to the standard and usual routine,
DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS stick to their own saying: you can't beat guitar, bass,
drums and piano.
DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS play subtle, smooth, trance-inducing
music by applying both art and craft. Their debut album is comprised of six
slow-burning and wisely balanced songs which combine moody atmosphere with
a hint of urgency. Like a slow and meditative long-haul trek, listening to
their debut full length is fulfilling and rewarding. It is rare to hear such
a young band like DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS which manages its sound and songs
in such a economical manner. Actually, it is rare to hear such a band like
DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS in the first place.
