Akradia - "Rambling of a mad girl"
Format: CD
Type: EP
Label: Dotti Records

Australia, 2003
Release date: February 2004

Combining passionate, haunting vocals with a edgy guitar and catchy, melodic pop sensibility is the infectious musical formula of Akradia. Formed in the late 90’s after its members spent time crossing paths in other bands, Akradia has entertained audiences throughout Australia, enjoying exposure at many of Sydney's major music venues. The songs are smoothly delivered with the pop-icon, sultry vocal stylings of singer Jodee Maree. Bassist Liz Latimer provides the solid bass foundation for the band. Lead guitarist Joseph Calderazzo’s extensive 'all-round musician' background helps him shed new light on ‘alterna-pop’ guitar riffs while Drummer Lloyd G. consistently provides not only a precise, but lyrical rhythmic foundation for this up and coming groups music. Akradia’s EP/CD 'Ramblings of a mad girl' showcases their unique style. The band spent a good chunk of 2003 working on this CD, including stints at three Sydney studios: NikkiNali at Hicksons Point (where they did most of their earlier work), Super Apple in Lewisham, and Monsoon Music in Surry Hills and working with producers Steve Francis (Bangarra, Sick Puppies) Jim Hayden and Matt Fell (Butterfly 9, Shanley Del) . 'Ramblings of a mad girl' is laden with loud guitars, heavy hooks, and irresistible energy and a must-have for any CD collection.

"Better Life is a beautiful, melodic ballad. For mine it's one of the highlights of the album, mainly because of the melody line. It's not just accoustic guitars though as you get electric violin, samples, ethereal vocals and swirling percusssion... Over all the album shows strong songwriting and is a promising debut." Mark Nielsen. [Drum Media 2002]
