Biography [supplied by artist]
"Earthy sounds, 100% passion, No bullshit"
This is cordia
Cordia are a London based four-piece melodic rock band
bearing comparison to Audioslave, Springsteen, Led Zeppelin
and Coldplay.
Their organic sound comprises of Colin Burbury's inspired,
diverse guitar work
ranging from celestial delay passages to bone-crunching
riffs and all shades in between, complemented by the
rhythm section of Mark Berry's groove-laden, percussive
drumming style and bassist Daniel Ortega's funky, respectful
melody lines. Splashes of acoustic guitar and piano
from front man Chris George finish off the musical mix,
coupled with a passionate, rich vocal delivery that
is a trademark of the band.
Colin and Chris played in live bands in Bournemouth,
learning their craft, building fans and writing the
Cordia songbook before relocation to London in September
2004 to further continue their musical careers.
It was in Bournemouth that the foundations for their
record label, Dead letter Recordings (www.deadletterrecordings.com)
were cemented. Based on the idea of a consortium of
like-minded bands and artists working together, sharing
skills, contacts and ideas to develop their music, its
continuing development is a success story for independent
musicians.
A brand new set of recordings are in the process of
completion, with a view to an independent release early
2006, as well as a new website and their first national
tour,
With themes of love and death, passion and betrayal,
the modern world and the human condition, the steady
progression of this dedicated band looks set to continue.
