Women of Rock Part 2



Milka (or on iTunes) is a group from Orlando. Their frontman or rather frontwoman is Milkanette Ramos is Puerto Rican which brings a unique Latin flavor to their music. Especially since Entre los Soles and Corazon de Miel are in Spanish...go figure. But to stereotype them as a Latin rock band would a grave mistake (besides, just what is a latin rock band?). They wander over much of the modern rock landscape with hard screamo songs like "In no time" and driven, melodic songs like "Toxxic" that are more radio ready with smooth but simple vocals and a deep driving guitar. Even a little sitar like effect is thrown in with the intro to "Drive". If I had to compare them to a group, and I do I would lean loosely toward Incubus with their complex mixture of sounds, effects and both acoustic and electric guitars. Call it a harder Incubus.
