Zak Recommends Indie Artist of the Day 'Doris Brendel'

Doris Brendel - Indie Artist of the Day
Support your local independent record store. Record store day is April 17th. Check out http://www.recordstoreday.com/



Sky-Rocket Records

Doris Brendel hails from London, England. Her sound is alt rock inflected with great pop hooks. Lyrically smart with forthright song messages like 'Get A Life', 'What Are You Saying' and the direct and acerbic 'Work In Progress'. DB along with Dave Beeson have collaborated to produce a very nice mix of catchy alt rock. Doris is the eldest of famed classical musician Alfred Brendel and the music gene shines through. Doris expertly plays, flute, acoustic guitar and has a lovely slightly husky vocal style. Her mother Doris, who sadly passed away two years ago, was also an acclaimed artist.


Sorry

DB - Doris Brendel


MySpace Music Videos

Doris has been working hard at her music career for the past two decades. The experience shows in the quality of the production, playing and writing. The single Sorry is at #7 on the Indie Top 100 friend vote right now. A new album has been completed and will be released soon. It is to be titled The Last Adventure. I hope that title is not suggesting this is the last hoorah for DB.
