GeminiiDragon – Double Single

“Powder keg” is a powerful rocker with the guitars cranked up and buzzing away like demented chainsaws in the mix. There’s still the underpinning of their sound in the blues but the band continue to forge the way towards their own unique musical identity.

Lyrically the song goes to a couple who together are explosive. There’s a strong melody running through the track as Jessica Harper powers through the vocals over syncopated drums and those buzzsaw guitars.

Overall, the track feels like it should be the title track to a James Bond Movie as it has that epic widescreen sound. It comes over like a blending of “Live and Let Die” and “View to a Kill”.

The other half of the double single (I guess in pre-digital days we would call it a double A-Side) is “Can't Stop Love”. This is a funky blues jam that will get your toes tapping and your head nodding.

It’s another layered and impactful vocal turn from Jessica Harper. More prominently placed this time is Christian Simeon’s guitar. He carries the track through with some excellent lead work and an intermittent riff that hints towards Cream’s “Sunshine of your Love”.

Together these two songs are further evidence of how much GeminiiDragon are growing as an act. There’s a lot of energy in these two songs and they both have such a wide appeal that they could easily cross over several markets beyond blues-rock. There’s a freedom in the playing here that’s supported by Christian saying that the band just write and play what they feel. They must have been feeling pretty damn good when they put these two songs together.

Both tracks are written by Jessica Harper and Christian Simeon and they are available on the
