SIREN Returns in Full Force with New Album “Listen”
It’s not often that a band manages to sound both seasoned and brand new at the same time, but South Florida’s SIREN pull it off beautifully with new album Listen. This is an album made by musicians who have lived a lot, lost a little, and still believe in the power of melody, story and song to make sense of it all.

It is not just about recapturing the past, but about channeling decades of experience into something fresh and relevant. The band’s frontman and songwriter Rob Phillips sings like a man who has still got something to prove, while drummer and producer Mike Cupino anchors the sound with warmth. This is certainly an album that bridges heartland rock and contemporary melodic pop with remarkable ease. Continue reading
