Gia G - Cosmic Wave - Reviewed At White Room Reviews ! Check it out here at this link: https://www.whiteroomreviews.nl/reviews/cd-reviews/gia-g-cosmic-wave-ep/

Actually, it is having guts: as a guitarist who has a brother dead to vocals, release a release in the week that the master Steve Vai also does that and where Joe Satriani has also announced a new record. That bravado belongs to Gia Federico, better known as Gia G. She, Gia G, comes via Sliptrick Records with the EP Cosmic Wave.

GIA G
Gia G's name may sound like a person, but it's also the name of her band. Bassist Mark George and drummer Paul Angle complete this Boston-based group. Yet it is really about the fabulous guitar playing of the lady in question.

COSMIC WAVE EP
On the EP Cosmic Wave, Gia G has placed three tracks. Opener 'Cosmic Wave' showcases her fiery guitar playing in a beautiful way. Clearly, her virtuoso tap work also comes to the fore here, which is in the service of the song and not of a show-off. 'Reminiscing' is the quietest of the three. Where Gia G clearly has rock as a basis in the other tracks, she also dares to include the blues in the game. The strumming base is ideal for this. Then it also appears that she can hold the attention well at a slower pace. 'IntricalFusion' gives more gas again and proves once again that the absence of vocals is not bad.

The three tracks of Gia G on the EP Cosmic Wave show that the self-confidence of this American is more than justified. There is clearly life after Satriani and Vai, although of course they are far from finished. - White Room Reviews
