Somewhere sitting quietly on the shelf of your favorite music store is an incredible CD just waiting to be loved. The names Tobey Torres and Jason Slater may not sound familiar today--but it is only a matter of time before these two get the credit they deserve.

With Sonic JiHad, Snake River Conspiracy has crafted a well rounded musical masterpiece. The group has opened up a new door. This is unlike anything you have heard--which in turn makes comparisons difficult. The album mixes elements of rock, pop, industrial, electronica, and techno. The sensuous lead vocals supplied by Tobey are at some times sultry and seductive, and at other times very aggressive. Tobey's captivating talent puts a very different edge on this type of music. Something I am excited for you to hear. Take a little Nine Inch Nails and Garbage, throw in some serious guitar riffs, tantalizing melodies and some unbelievable talent, and what you have left is some yummy Snake River Conspiracy.

The eclectic atmosphere of this album is not for the weak or closed minded. One second you are being seduced with haunting melodies--then before you know it you are thrown into this beautiful mixture of atmospheric yet chaotic rage. Get ready for something new and prepare to be blown away. The twist and turns throughout the CD are something that you really have to experience for yourself. Every track will take you somewhere new. I highly recommend you rush out to buy this CD. Because then and only then, will your collection be complete.

What Can I say? There isn't very many female rockers out there any more. And between Kittie and Android Lust, Tobey Torres stands out along with those. Her voice is incredible. She makes you feel free. Jason Slater is the mastermind behind the curtain putting her lyrics together with the music. He makes her sound raw, and compassionate all at the same time. This is one CD I recommend that you buy or get. Especially if you love bands like Kittie, Drain STH, and Android Lust. Enjoy!

Well, being a female who is immersed in the world of rock and roll, it delights me to see an amazing female rocker come through with such talent. This album is deffinately different from anything you have ever heard in your life. Just get it. You don't need to try and figure out if you'll like it. It is worth the money, and once you start listening to the different, catchy and raw music this album contains, you are going to be hooked forever.
