In the world of Disney Teen Sensations and Hip Hop Idols, The Joey Davila Band sticks out like a sore thumb. Focusing on writing relational music and putting on an unforgettable show that would engage the hearts and minds of the lost so that they'd be receptive to the word of God is what they're all about. JDB's music draws from influences like Texas Blues, Classic Rock, 80's Metal, 90's Alternative and today's Christian artists such as Lincoln Brewster, Chris Tomlin and Decyfer Down. Their debut CD "Go Back" has created a buzz in regional Christian music circles and has remained in the Top 10 of the Rock – Religious Charts on Broadjam.com since November of '09. JDB has also been featured on Skopemag.com and Jango Internet Radio where they are tracking fans from around the globe including the United States, Finland, The Phillipines, Mexico, Nicaragua, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, etc. JDB is made up of Joey Davila, Jonathan Cardenas, Charles Longoria and Carlos Salinas. As accomplished, lifelong musicians, they have individually opened shows for Building 429, Matt Maher, Matthew West, The Outfield, Steppenwolf and many more. Joey, Jonathan, Carlos and Charles have always remained conscious of the gift that God has given them in music and have vowed to always use it for His Glory.

GO BACK ALBUM REVIEW BY AWAKEN MUSIC PUBLICATIONS
Joey Davila's album, GO BACK, is a step in the right direction. Davila combines a nice blend of pop and rock to create his signature sound.

Go Back, the album opener is hooky and drives. Its recorded with stellar accuracy. On, Your Always on My Mind, he slows things down and brings in a groovier element. There's a good amount of vocal loops and help to showcase Davila's voice. The chorus has a very corporate worship element to it. Its simple and singable.

My Ninety One is more of a spoken song with an acoustic strum to carry it. Its reminiscent of a Bon Jovi record - a nice blend of anthem rock with accessible pop.

RATING: 3.5 of 5 stars
