Opening Look At Me Now with a raw bluesy riff, Sonic Maven took their time filling the listener with anticipation. They have a great melodic sense and appear clearly in their guitar melodies and harmonies, as they smoothly kept adding multiple layers to their mix while maintaining their mellow structure and keeping the listener hooked and focused. Sonic Maven are one of those bands with a chill, fun writing style and it is obvious through their pace and how they gave each part the time it needed to be heard and understood properly.

Rock Era Magazine

Despite the obvious challenges faced by musicians in recent years, Sonic Maven has been going strong since its formation in 2022. The band’s logo, featuring a Gibson ES335 guitar with wings, serves as a metaphor for the rocking intensity of their sound and the agility that drives the featured guitar playing! The guitar tone is perhaps one of the most crucial elements in the song. The guitar has that creamy, overdriven but not harshly distorted sound typical of classic rock and alternative music. The guitar parts intertwine beautifully, offering a nice backdrop for the rhythm section to unfold. Drawing on the raw edge of garage music while still maintaining a nuanced sound, Sonic Maven is truly a band to watch in the coming years.
