Atlanta based trio Fabrik (they have been reduced from a quintet) featuring female vocalist Adriane has a style of mixed genres all put together in a modern rock package,think a piece of 80?s rock a la Pat Benatar,another piece of modern punkpop and a 3rd piece of traditional christian pop. I hear influences from varied backgrounds but Fabrik manages to tie them up together in a tastefully arranged way. It?s not as polished and overproduced like many christian cd?s are today,mainly because of the low budget this band had recording "Fall of the romantic empire" but I also think the main reason behind their rootsy sound is that they know these songs sounds best with a "live" feel to them. Not all the melodies sounds 100% and perhaps 2-3 songs could?ve been left out with this album being stripped down to an EP but they have potential - maybe a fame producer like Monroe Jones (Building 429) can refine this rough diamond.
