Meet the Armenian Beatles



Okay, okay: such comparisons are silly, but apparently they have that britpop sound. Think Oasis, I suppose - but in Armenian.
Once the separate singers and university mates, now a family and a rock duo “Vo.X” Aram and Gaya Rian believe that they will manage to shape a new music style in Armenia . The performers of a Britpop genre, the musicians lived in Great Britain for six years and returned last year with two albums and the true intention to conquer the Yerevan music lovers.

“The music of Vo.X (‘voice’ in Latin) is brand new for Armenia, it is popular in the west, but there are no such performers in Yerevan,” says Aram Rian. “We are sure our music will find its niche in Armenia.”

The music of Beatles-like “Vo.X” had already gained success in Great Britain and it twice became the nominees of the British Gospel Music Award as the best British group in “gospel” genre. The songs “No matter” and “Gone with the wind” were broadcast by radio channels throughout Britain and the duo was hosted many times by the BBC channel.
Armenia Blog would love to review their CD. Don't hesistate, send it over to us!
