COBI MIKE, “Walking Through The Fire”
It’s always sad when a fine band like Boston’s Gentlemen Hall calls it quits after being on the bubble these last few years. But onward and upward we go, as most of the remainder of the band has now formed Tribe Society, while former vocalist Cobi Mike (he of those anchoring lower notes in songs like “Take Me Under” and “Gravity Will Break Our Bones”) has gone solo with the latest of two singles being “Walking Through The Fire”. Don’t let the deliberate pacing of this song fool you. It keeps taking you through next levels of solo, harmonies, emotion, and power. It’s a quieter anthem for those times when you think the rest of the world is totally out of reach and you’re hidden, in this case by a wall of fire. The tall, dark-haired Cobi Mike has great stage presence from what I recall when seeing Gentlemen Hall a few years back, so catch him in a club show to check out his new songs. “Walking Through The Fire” is a fine introduction to his solo career, carrying on what was honed in Gentlemen Hall and taking it all to new places.
