Eskju Divine
Struck by the halo
Imperial Recordings
They probably hate, and I mean hate, the Ben Fold's Five comparisons, with good reasons because they sound nothing like that trio. But how often do you come across a pop trio that has a bass player, a drummer and a pianist? However, in the span of this EP, what Eskju Divine do is win me over which doesn't make much sense since I don't enjoy the band they resembles most (to my ears anyway): Coldplay. They have the same epic and melodic sensibilities, with the difference that Eskju Divine generally rock more. And their singer isn't whining.
