Berklee String Metal Ensemble
Posts on Huffington: These artists, such as Julia Easterlin, Pin Panelle and the Berklee String Metal Ensemble, are all getting their names out there. They can capture the fans of those they covered and draw them to their original work.”
David Pramik
Posts on Huffington: “The artists on “Under the Influence” also have an extensive collection of original songs available, and therein lies the genius…”
R.A.Y.
Cover Lay Down: “a pair of covers each from six incredible student and recent alumni musical acts, each a cross-genre tribute to the influences that brought the artists to the table in the first place, and the absolutely stunning sum total says more about the twinned talent and tenacity of the Berklee program than anything we’ve managed to put together in the past, for sure.”
The Boston Boys feat. Emily Elbert
Campusounds: ”Hard-working, impressive and improvisational, if this is the future of music in our country than I am truly proud and excited to experience the movement.”
Pinn Panelle
Cover Lay Down: “It’s not all folk here, though it’s all good: Pinn Panelle’s screaming guitar-and-organ-driven cover of R.E.M. classic Radio Free Europe is a madcap jam-metal screamer, like a Phish and Duncan Sheik mashup on speed…”
Julia Easterlin
Campusounds: “with Under the Influence, it seemed to be a bold and smart move to begin with powerhouse vocalist Julia Easterlin. Her cover of The Pixies song, Break My Body reaches a whole other level of beauty. For me, tears seemed to come from nowhere.”
