An Evening With (AEW) is an emerging rock quintet who bring refreshing punk, pop, and rock vibes to Long Island's music scene. Each of the 12 songs on their debut album Cruel Intentions, released last October, has its own up beat flair, created by the harmonious intertwining of the two guitar lines with the wide-ranging voice of the lead vocalist, supported by seamless and consistent bass and drum lines. All these are telltale signs that the five musicians pour their hearts and souls into their music.
An Evening With Acoustic Mix
I caught up with An Evening With at their live acoustic show, which started the Westfield Live Acoustic Series at Starbucks Sunrise Mall on March 12, 2010. Their musical style is reminiscent of Nirvana's powerful drum lines in "For Ever Young" and "Bridge to Nowhere," Fall Out Boy's audacious guitar lines in "Hearts on Fire Again," Mayday Parade's romantic themes and daring guitar solos in "Invincible" and "Die For You," and it resonates with the vocal harmony of The Cure in "Time After Time" and "Higher." The electronic instrumentation of "Luck & Cruel Intentions" evokes Joy Division's electronic sound in "Love Will Tear Us Apart." The genuine AEW style permeates through each tune, which enticed quite a few people to stop lend an ear to the musicians in Sunrise mall's Starbucks lounge.

Lead vocalist Jay Alexander, guitarist/ vocalist Mike DiRoma, guitarist/ vocalist Mario Mendoza, bassist/ vocalist Adam Pallack, and drummer ReDi understand the importance of showcasing their tunes. Earlier that week, they performed as the opening act for the touted pop/punk bands Bowling for Soup and The Dollyrots at The Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale, N.Y., while the following weekend, they played two shows in Wayne, N.J.
