    I don't really know much about the fine art of music but I know what I like -- and I like Dremana. With regard to Jimmy John, it's like the old saying, don't confuse me with facts, my mind is made up. He must be seeing something most everybody else is not. The evidence just does not support what he is saying. Dremana wouldn't get the gigs they get if they weren't pulling in the crowds. Face the facts, dude, you are in the very small minority. I have followed Dremana from their humble beginnings. From drinking beer at the back of the bar where they started playing to their latest big show. Why, because they have a great sound. They are new. They are different. They dare to push the envelope. As KN said, a review is nothing more than an opinion. So, just weigh the various "opinions" and you will see Dremana is defintely an up and coming group. As for opinions like Jimmy John's just remember, opinions are like A_ _ _ _ _ _ s, everybody has one. Get real.

    Dremana is truly a hot group they are fresh and innovative. Their live shows are the only thing that out performs their CD's I read the two bad reviews and all i can say is were you listening to the same group I was or were your heads up your asses and your hearing impaired to to the location of your head pehaps you two prefer other types of music and you should try other venues like nursery rhymes and such. Dremana Keep up the great sounds and I look forward to your next disc.As far as paying Dues Jimmy John how long do you suggest.Sound like you are still paying with no results, sucks to be you.

    P.S. I have been involved with music for more years than I would like to remember and I believe I know the real thing when I hear and see it.

    By the way, Advice for everyone!! Digest your mind with facts(truth) and not always base your opinions on unreliable resources. Obviously Jimmy John is of no such reliable resource for any patron. He clearly identifies himself as someone who is of no respect. Everything that I stated is of FACTS,which is the TRUTH. I am a huge fan of Dremana since the beginning.I choose to live life of FACTS and not of fiction(SHIT--waste).I hope everyone will do the same,and also seek the truth and seek the art of originality. Dare to dream and dare to believe!!!! If the world is ready for change and ready for something refreshing...???!!! Check Dremana Out!!! Dremana Rocks!!!!

    Well first I want to state that a "review" is a synonym to opinion.So upon reviews it is good to know the actual facts(TRUTH)of the review before digesting the review in oneself's mindframe and use as a reliable resource. Well in one of the reviews/opinion Jimmy JOHN claims Grace is a fake name. A "name" is defined ** a word or words by which an entity is designated and distinguished from others. So if Grace decides to say that Grace is her name then that is what it is.That is what she chooses to identify herself as. Which says alot of who and what she is because Grace is defined as**Seemingly effortless beauty or charm of movement, form, or proportion. A characteristic or quality pleasing for its charm or refinement.A disposition to be generous or helpful; goodwill.Divine love and protection bestowed freely on people. The state of being protected or sanctified by the favor of God. An excellence or power granted by God. JIMMMY is defined as** to pry of something. JOHN is defined as**A man who is a prostitute's customer.and a toilet.(all definitions are a resource from answers.com) So JIMMY JOHN identifies himself as a individual who pries at things and who is a customer of prostitutes(which means he is used to paying for things and believes that people should buy their way in life)and has a relation to the toilet(which means he must speak and BE of SHIT)!!!

    Wow. I will have to remember not to look at pages like this, I normally don’t, for this reason: If you are truly creating for yourself, for the sake of art, you should not believe good things people say about what your doing; or the bad things people say about what you’re doing. Judging ourselves is already such a challenge. Anyway, before I started Dremana, I wrote songs for other artists for many years under RCA Records’ Dead Dog Label at Tanglewood Studios. Artists from The Scorpoins (hard rock) to dance artists like Maximillion & Gillette. I never considered myself a singer, and you are right, Jimmy John, in your opinion I suck. I just may very well suck! However, I like writing, and as any artist, I am still evolving right in front of everyone, which is a pretty vulnerable position to be in, but I can take it. Modeling is something I have done as side income. Playboy I did after Spam & I started writing Dremana songs. I am also on Shure microphone boxes, and lots of other commercial work. Grace is what people call me. I am adopted, and have been through more than one name in my life. Names aren’t as important to me as they are other people. (By the way, “Spam” isn’t his real name either!) Well, I can’t say your opinion made me feel good – but at least you’re paying attention to the music local scene!!

    Yeah, I agree Dremana is a pretty terrible band. I am not sure how they get gigs at places like The Metro, because they haven't really paid their dues in the smaller venues. They must have connections. Spams music is very contrived and non-melodic. There is not a single sing-along track on their albums. Grace's (fake name) voice is awful...you can get buy on looks only so far...look at the Spice girls.

    You guys also try too hard for the rock style look. Just be yourselves and quit being hacks.

    You guys seriously suck...but what is next? Carnegie Hall?

    Wow...good sounds and all, but the singer is nothing but eye candy. Her voice is pretty bad and you can tell that many, many effects are added to her talkative style of singing to make it sound better. I think if you drop the singer and pick up an actual vocalist and not a playboy model; your band will do well

    The CD and new EP are edgey tight and fresh sounding. I have seen several shows and the live performance is Hot.
