"X-POSURE" REVIEWS

 

"Here we have something special, because the first official KAMERA CD is filled with high quality pure 80s AOR...  In fact, this CD has an unbelievable start which simply blows away the latest JOURNEY release! This is AOR like it used to be made, which means big sounding bombastic AOR with lovely melodies in the guitar sound, catchy hooks and melodic memorable choruses, cheerful keys and all packed in mostly mid to up-tempo rock songs. ... This is more like it and highly recommended to any AOR fan!  ...only thing to do if you're a fan of classic AOR, buy this CD a.s.a.p. to finally hear out of the underground/ independent scene from the USA a band playing True Classic 80s hook-laden AOR!

"One of the things I love most are those instances of stumbling across the occasional CD by an unfamiliar band and discovering some amazing music contained within. It just makes things even cooler when that band happens to be from right here in the region. That very thing happened just last week. The CD that did the trick this time was a 14-song collection titled, "X-Posure," by the Northwest Indiana group Kamera. The Kamera sound is best described as being classic arena rock. Fans of such keyboard-guitar-driven bands will love Kamera's CD, which is largely powered by the nimble digits of guitarist-keyboardist Vince Michaels. The lead vocals of Greg Flores are rich, vibrant and wide ranged, like the best album rock singers of that genre's glory days." - Tom Lounges, The Times Click here to see the entire review

 

"Still waiting for that Europe reunion record? No release date yet, but in the meantime, check out the debut from Chicago rockers Kamera. Let the ’80s stadium rock references flow — there’s no denying the influences of Kamera’s synth-laden, screeching anthemic rock. The cool thing is they actually have the talent to pull it off, including the soaring vocals of Greg Flores that can be both appropriately heart-wrenching (on the power ballads) and commanding (on the rockers). And these guys stay true to their identity through the entire 70 minutes — so good luck resisting the temptation to pull out your air guitar, keyboard, and drums." - Carter Moss, Illinois Entertainer Click here then scroll down to see the review

 

"The first half of the album is very good in the long run this is a great AOR-release with lots of good songs. So Marshall Barber, Greg Flores, Terry Holder, Vince Michaels and Scott Nobles has done a fine AOR debut album that must be checked out by a true AOR fan. One song was produced by Jim Bartz and the rest has been handled by the band with a good result. A couple of minor adjustments to the next album then this band will be a new big AOR-sensation. Still this is a very good album." - Melodic. net (Sweeden)
 

"This established fact jumps to the ears on the first title, splendid Chance and its bed of absolutely sumptuous keyboards, gorged with emotion..." - CrossRocks.com (France)

 

"It must be something that they put in the Chicago water, as I've unearthed another top class act, as the current cream of the Chicago scene. There name is Kamera, and the album is called "X-Posure". It's full of uplifting, anthemic old-school AOR, the likes of which you rarely get to hear these days. The main reference points would have to be Sugarcreek, with a hint of Harlan Cage. The Sugarcreek reference is is there for all to see on the likes of "Chasing Shadows" and "Stop Making Trouble". Their keyboard driven rock is an abject lesson, to a lot of UK bands, in how to do this type of music with both style and flair. Vocalist Greg Flores, he's hugely reminiscent of L.A Greene (Fortune, Harlan Cage) which is clearly evident on album opener "Chance",  does a fantastic job, as do the rest of the band members. This is AOR with all the right Ingredients, in all the right places." - Powerplay Mag. (UK)
