about

This goes to all the alternative-fans out there. Colida are really masters of their genre. Having started playing back in the 90s, having supported bands like 'Hot Water Music' or 'ACME', they used their musical experience for perfectionating their own polished style.
In 2005 they recorded "eyes shut and ears wide open" at 'Die Tonmeisterei' in Oldenburg, a studio wellknown for indie- and hardcore-sounds. Beyond others Assault-records and Weserlabel let their bands record their releases there.

With 'eyes shut and ears wide open' Colida have made up a record full of melodic aggression. A rough engergetic guitar, a smooth bass, energetic drums in combination with the voice of frontman Samante Kamaladiwela turn this recording into a brilliant piece of alternative.
