Dig Jelly Reviews

This is Dig Jelly. So sayeth the biog from

the band, so therefore soo t must be true!!!

Well, without having heard anything prior to FOR YOUR INNER ANGRY CHILD, I

really can't argue. But on listening to b e latest release it's obvious

hat there is great talent at work here. Sure, it's easy to spot influences, Linkin

Parkicome to mind for the ability to take the voc

l from Fucking ngelic to evil in one fell swoop. No Doubt are another, for the strong female lead, juxtaposed rhythm and sheer out and out determination to scream, shout and be heard. There is also

a strong 'European' feel to the record, which is hard to pinpoint, but there's a defo undercurrent. Constant through all of this is melody, you can call it 'hooks' if you want but straight out of the box it has Californian sunshine breaking loose. It's the kind of melody that the Go Go's used to do, and of course Belinda Carlisle (Who was a Go Go). One term that comes to mind is a 'Hard Rock Bangles' and it's great once you get in on the ride...

Sure the band is hard, yes they rock, guitars are turned up loud. Track 8 (Forgiveness) is the foremost evidence of this, but the melodies remain. The title track sounds like a nursery rhyme on acid, a call to arms, a needle in the arms of parental suicide... The band have a cartoon cover to the record that shows them to be aware of their surroundings and able to utilise the whole 'Sexy Girl' with boys marketing, but this is not trading on looks, it's coming on strong with eleven good tracks...

Visiting the bands website, (www.digjelly.com) you will find clips from previous work that hints at the potential this band possesses; you do get the feeling that this record is the bridge to the million-seller in-waiting. Diverse, fresh, interesting, talented - are all words that you could use, but one that sums them up best is 'promising'...

Overall a very strong and listenable record, from the opening salvo of 'Jaded' to the awesome closer 'Alive' this band have created an album that gets better with time and I await the next album with much anticipation. Americans have seen what the band can deliver live, Europe is on the list for 2006, but I feel with the right push, and next time round, with a producer to fine-tune their sound, they could explode onto a market devoid of strong female fronted rock acts; they should write a song called 'What happened to Gwen' just as they step up to replace, there is No Doubt...

LAで活動してる女voの５人組バンド！Vo+G+B+Dr+Turntableって感じです。まえにもチョロッと紹介しましたが、このvoのraykoさんが日本人なんです！前にRaykoってバンドだったらしいんですが、音楽性の違いからメンバーチェンジをして今のDig Jellyになったそうです。ちなみにDig JellyとはSexって意味らしいです（笑）ジャンルとしては、raykoさんいわく、Rage Against The MachineがFoo Fightersと結婚して、Linkin Parkがいそうろうしてるって感じだそうです（笑）たしかにそんな感じです。ってか昨日届いたばっかなんですが、聴きまくってます！アルバム通して良いんですが、なんと言っても３曲目のBroken Trustと７曲目のWhatever(Radio Mix)がめちゃすきです。切ない感じが、良いかな。なんか最近レコード契約を果たしたみたいで、がんばってるそうです。そのうち日本（名古屋）でショーが観れるのを期待してます！CDbabyで試聴＆購入できます。９点

最近はKMK、Masnada、V-Iceなんか買いました。ちなみに今回もらったのはTerror Tっていう男と女の２人組の奴なんですが、babyで検索しても出てこない･･･。Hip-Hopです。ってかMasnada、ＫＭＫどっちも良かったですよ！

It must be very daunting and bewildering to be a new band these days. I mean, what trends should we try to go for? With things changing at an ever rapid pace, by the time someone records an album in anticipation of being the "Next Big Thing", oftentimes said "Big Thing" is most likely yesterday's news. So, what's a fledgling band to do? Some just go for broke (literally) sticking with one sound that they hope will catch on, or they'll strike the right number in the roulette wheel of fame. Others try to broaden their chances by straddling many genres, hoping against hope that they can appeal to at least some fan's sensibilities.

Well if you're L.A. based band Dig Jelly, you combine influences from all genres of rock, including pop, punk, heavy rock, ballads and even hip hop (with thankfully an emphasis on the hip rather than hop) resulting in a schizophrenic journey through the land of modern rock. Fronted by Asian hottie Rayko, who possesses the pipes to belt it out and scream with the best of them, the band makes a distinct impression here as they skillfully move from genre to genre without missing a beat. Whether it's hard edged rockers such as "Jaded" or "The Ultimate," punk inspired fare such as "Broken Trust" or the alternative pop sensibilities of "Too Deep" or "Whatever" she shows her versatility as she moves from a sultry whisper to a full blown rock n roll scream (such as on the unnerving "Forgiveness") at the drop of the hat, while the band constructs a wall of sound behind her. The genre jumping can be a bit jarring, but it also ensures that the proceedings don't get boring, although a bit more cohesiveness will be necessary for the band to make a truly great album. Still, this is an extremely promising debut which showcases the talents of the band effectively. With a bit more time and seasoning they could make an impact in a huge way.

Boasting a phat, bass heavy production partially courtesy of Richard Kaplan, who's responsible for the sonic stylings of Korn, Slipnot and Limp Bizkit, this is sure to annoy the hell out of passing motorists if one were to blast this in the car. Which considering where the band was coming from, fits in perfectly with what's contained here. Given the right set of circumstances, with the tight musicianship and full blown energy contained on this disc, I can see this band making a big inroad into modern rock radio with this release.

There is a plethora of elements conjoined in Dig Jelly's exuberant, energetic sound: hip-hop, indie, punk, hardcore, industrial, DJ ... all rooted in metallic hooks and all laced with poignant melody that could gratify emo kids. Dig Jelly's sound is a fist in the face and features enough dynamics to prevent boredom's onset and keep the crowd moving. I suspect a band like this would thrive best in a live setting as they come off as real crowd workers. But at any rate, with all the melody, drive, hook and deftly fused influences, it's a band to watch for.

My sister took me to Target to get some necessities when I was about five, and refused to let me wander around the toy section. Holding my hand, she walked me past the jewelry and watch counter while my eyes became fixated on a black watch with pink scuba fins on it. The plastic fins split to either side to view the digital time. It even came with a free pad of paper that was shaped like a life-vest. Obviously I had to have this five-dollar jewel. Before it was too late, I wriggled my fingers out of her hand's grip hold, and took off for the watch counter.

I snagged the watch and showed her how great it looked on my little wrist. She told me she wouldn't buy it for me and to put it back. I instantly began flailing my arms and twisting my body like a washing machine. Tears streamed down my red face as a high-pitch scream exploded from my mouth. Enter Dig Jelly.

Dig Jelly captures the essence of every angry child, and cleverly stuffs it onto a 44-minute album. For Your Inner Angry Child (how appropriate), somehow melds Evanescence-style modern rock, Gwen Stefani-influenced vocals and a rapping style like Zack de la Rocha's to completely reflect every child's angry fits. Of course, it's much easier to listen to.

"Inside Out," "Dramatic Suicide" and "Alive" bring back flannel shirts and Doc Martens with their '90s grunge sound, but most of the album is more intense.

Some songs on the album are modern rock (think Linkin Park, with a female singer), while others add more hip-hop.

If for some reason, you don't have a screamy, little brat around you and you want one, buy Dig Jelly's For Your Inner Angry Child.

Dig Jelly is a trip. Actually, they're multiple trips. Their schizoid sound bounds from matinee pop to hip-hop to punk to alternative to stoner metal. No disc in recent memory can claim such a ridiculous range of styles. Talented musicians Joey Felix (drums), Robby Lochner (guitar) and Rain Balen (bass) back mighty-mite Rayko, a barely five-foot tall doll - who writes all the music and lyrics and produced For Your Inner Angry Child, their new CD from Centerline Music.

Her energy is unbounded. "Music is all I wanna do. It's the only thing I can do!" she says with pride of a razor focus. "I don't wanna be a jack of all trades."

Born and raised in Tokyo, she left for America after junior high. "I had nothing, just a bag and my dreams." Her speech accelerates now. "If you're going to make it, you have to make it in America. So I moved in with some surfer friends. I learned English because no one would ever listen to the music otherwise."

[...] Working the merch. booth after her set at Hailey's in Denton, the words "awesome" and "amazing" were shot at her from every direction, people thrilled with what they saw and heard. "This tour (30+ cities with Veruca Salt) has been awesome! We've gotten tons of new fans."

hey, just gotta exclaim what a great job Rayko and DigJelly did in concert at the Masquerade Monday October 24th in Hotlanta.

Rayko's got a really strong, pretty voice and sounded good leading the second of three bands opening for Veruca Salt on their national tour. Rayko was masterful at getting the crowd pumped up, out of our chairs and moving to the music. she totally took control of the stage, sexily strutting, bopping her trademark long anime-style dual ponytails in time to the music and lights, somehow engendering camaraderie in the room as she delightedly waved to and saluted various people in the crowd and flashed her six-pack abs to great effect. (Rayko, if you did a training video to your music, I'd buy it!)

diminutive, yet with a powerful punch, Rayko raised the energy level to another order delivering her songs, many of which had great melodies. the guitarist did a good job, showing me some virtuoso sounds I'd never seen anybody wring out of a Les Paul before. on some of the songs, he doubled Rayko's vocal lines for some really cool effects.
