Astoria have released their debut album titled "The Time Is Now" this album shows off the band off with an older feel to them. These guys have a sound that attracts an older crowd to their music, which isn't always a good thing. If this band is looking to grow, get radio play, and such, this sound is not for them. This is a good sound to just get out there and play your local bar though. This album has been recorded alright, and the guys can play their instruments. When listening to the lyrics, they seem to be very stereotypical for a band like this to sing about. Maybe trying for a little more substance and different topics could help this band out a lot. The song to listen to would be "So Far Gone" as it shows off the skill of the band right off and gives you an idea of the rest of the album. All in all, for a local bar band that plays for the people who go to the same bar every week, this is pretty good. Try to get out of the box a bit more and add some new rock styles to the music, but good effort for their first album.
