Steel Notes Magazine | Music Review
Out Of The Garage, Vol. 1
By Dana Saravia – Life-long rock & roller, current music critic and Girl From Baltimore
(www.steelnotesmagazine.com)

Being a huge fan of garage rock, I always look forward to hearing compilations that feature a variety of garage bands. Never knowing what you're going to find, but always hoping it will be something special is half the fun of hearing any compilation. Thankfully, Out Of The Garage, Vol. 1 is fun and then some all the way through with a variety of garage bands each with their own style and presence.

The legendary Mark Lindsay provides one hell of a strong lead off track with "Like Nothing That You've Seen", which also sounds like nobody else. With a seductive vibe and great groove, this track is an instant earworm. The Wee Gees tear it up on the second track with "You Gotta Work". A high energy blast featuring some fabulous sax, it sounds like a lost 60s gem. It's impossible not to turn this up and dance. Next up is Rage Of Angels, an all girl garage band that combine the sweet melodies of 60s girl groups with an edgier pop sound. "Nothing To Brag About" (featuring the late John Jennings as a guest guitarist providing some stand out work) is an FU break up song that leaves a strong impression. NJ natives The Accelerators are next with "Take It Or Leave It". With lyrics like "I love you, but I hate you/I want you, but I don't need you", it's power pop full of swagger and attitude, showing the band at their best. Track 5 brings us "Half A Mile Away", the second song by Rage Of Angels to be included here. "Half A Mile Away" continues in the same style of the earlier song with a bit more musical crunch added. KickBend is next with "Spin", a song about information overload with a straightforward beat and a dash of humour. The seventh track is "Broken Record", the latest from The Catholic Girls. Using sparkling vocal harmonies and fuzzed out guitar, the Girls create a memorable pop song about longing for lasting love that's a worthy addition to their discography and to this compilation. Next up is The Chords UK making a very welcome return with their single "I Can't Let Go". One of the original bands of the 70s mod revival in the UK, this song is a knockout with all the smarts and attitude you'd expect and then some. Zombie Garden Club bring us the ninth track here, "Hey Little School Girl". With bright organ taking the lead and snarly guitar threaded in, this song has an mid 60s vibe would sound right at home next to Shadows of Knight or Stones from that era and it sounds great here too. The final track of the album is The Satisfactors' "Sweet Sunshine". A super group featuring members of The Grip Weeds and The Doughboys among other well-known and well respected garage rock stars, the combination of songwriting and performing can be heard in this track. A blast of sunny summer energy and melodic rock with a danceable groove, this song is well chosen to close out this compilation.

Out Of The Garage Volume 1 is one of the best current garage rock compilations I've had the pleasure to hear recently. There were strong songs from a variety of bands and the songs included let each band's style and personality shine through. An excellent compilation from start to finish.

Grammy Award Winning Producer Joins Forces With Indie Radio Favorite Singer/Songwriter


Artists that 2 time Grammy award winner Don McCollister has worked with have collectivley sold over 15 million albums, been nominated for 85 major music awards, of which they have won 47, had 34 #1 billboard hits and charted singles. Often dubbed "the artist's" producer because he himself is a multi-instrumentalist who continues to perform live on the festival circuit. His band the Smokin' Novas (Andrew Hyra, Brian Bristow) will be playing the prestigious 30A Songwriters Festival (http://www.30asongwritersfestival.com) alongside artists McCollister has previously produced (Kristian Bush & Shawn Mullins to name a few).

Claire Pearson (previously performed as Pearson Perry but dropped the Perry moniker after divorce) is an Atlanta based singer-songwriter whose song "Love is a Mountain" (co-written with Heidi Higgins) charted #37 on on the top 100 list of most played singles on independent radio in 2014. She was also one of the top 5 most played pop artists on independent radio in 2014 according to Roots Music Report. She founded Atlanta Intown Songwriters in 2011 to build the Atlanta artist network for aspiring songwriters.

McCollister joined forces with Pearson last summer when he moved down the street from her in Ormewood Park, Atlanta, GA. The two quickly found that their voices blended easily and Claire's songwriting and Don's production skills were a good match. They spent a week holed up in Pearson's bedroom recording their upcoming album The Bedroom Sessions which is currently in production and will be released in early 2016. The two describe their music as "sexy, folk, pop, country" which relies heavily on acoustic instruments, loop building, and tight vocal harmonies. The song #heybabe will be the first single and can be heard for free on their website www.theormewoods.com.

Hot New Single "My Team Go Harder" by BH&MM


The group thing proved to be unsuccessful for both Hurst and Mayne so they both set out seeking success in solo careers. Years passed, time passed and friends changed but the love for the game was still there in both parties. In 2010, Big Hurst and Mysta Mayne met for the first time at a run down hotel room in Lafayette, Louisiana. Both artists were signed to a label run by another well known local artist, (Vicious) called Vicious Entertainment. Originally, Hurst and Mayne were in a group with 5 other artist in the area called the Vicious All-stars. An album was put together in a timely fashion but never released due to technical issues with the label. Eventually both artist stood out on songs and performances and soon had a realization that they were the life of the label and proceeded to team up. In 2012, Hurst and Mayne released a mix tape on Vicious Entertainment called Hustle & Muscle. They hit the streets with the 90’s hustle out of the trunk and sold almost 20,000 copies hand to hand. Till this day, no artist in the Lafayette area has come close or matched the numbers these two put up on a mix tape. Things at Vicious entertainment started going south for both artists so in 2013 they decided it was time to cut ties with the label and move on. Later that year BH & MM, inked a deal with another local label called shake back Entertainment and the rest is history! With packed venues, and thousands of records sold both artist have developed a confidence like no other, spitting out raw, uncut, melodious rhymes. With the biggest performance of their career to date at the Cajun dome with a well known nationwide artist such as Lil Boosie, Z-ro, Jeezy and Kevin gates, Hurst and Mayne are striving to get the recognition they deserve. BH & MM has worked with a number of artists such as Vicious, Cupid, C-Loc, Moneybags, Hatch boy and T-Barker. With the first album called Now-or-Never set to be released on Shake back Entertainment, both artist are ready for the lime light and will do whatever it takes to get there.

Gary Lucas & Jann Klose's STEREOPTICON Album In Digital Stores


Guitarist Gary Lucas and singer Jann Klose's new album, STEREOPTICON is now out on Cosmic Trigger Records/The Orchard. This is a songwriter's album, probably most at home with fans of AAA, indie, acoustic folk-pop/"urban Americana" music.

Also active songwriters, Gary and Jann collaborated on songs over the past three years. Their friend Dan Beck, who has written with Dion DiMucci, the Iron City Houserockers, Felix Cavaliere, joined them as lyricist on 6 songs. In September 2014 and June 2015, Jann and Gary recorded 10 songs in New York City's premiere analog studio The Maid's Room.

STEREOPTICON can be found on all digital stores, including iTunes at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/stereopticon/id1065240432 and on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018ZPIXGE.

DCRocks' David Hintz writes about the album, "This is quite an exciting collaboration that makes a lot of sense. Lucas is more the veteran creative songsmith and Klose the younger, though well beyond rookie status, singer songwriter. They both understand the trippier original aspects to song structures with Lucas' resume bordering on unbelievable as he has worked with Captain Beefheart, Peter Hammill, and Bryan Ferry."

Music writer Arthur Levy posts of seeing Gary and Jann live at the Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3 in New York City, "Memorable night indeed, the Gary and Jann project exceeded all expectations, and what a great little music room."

STEREOPTICON is produced by Jann, Gary, and Dan, who call themselves "Dr. Tre." The album was engineered by Jack McKeever (Joan As Police Woman, Anna & Kate McGarrigle) and Jason Candler (Queen Esther), who also plays soprano sax on "Nobody's Talking" and tenor sax on "Well of Loneliness." STEREOPTICON was mastered by Ben Kesler (Robert Randolph and the Family Band).

Gary's co-written hits with Joan Osborne: "Spider Web," and Jeff Buckley's signature songs "Grace" and "Mojo Pin" from the singer's double platinum album, GRACE. He's worked extensively with Captain Beefheart. ROLLING STONE says Gary is, "One of the best and most original guitarists in America...a modern guitar miracle." He just received the Premio Ciampi Lifetime Achievement Award in Italy, named for one of Italy's most famous songwriters. In 2014, Gary received the Ambassador's Award for Cultural Diplomacy from the US Consul General of Milan. His long-awaited GARY LUCAS' FLEISCHEREI: MUSIC FROM MAX FLEISCHER CARTOONS will be released on Cuneiform, February 2016. He is currently collaborating with Steve Kilbey (The Church), and Chris Shinn (new lead singer of Live), and was (this fall) Music Director of "State of Grace," a multi-artist Australian tribute to Tim and Jeff Buckley.

Born in Germany and raised in Kenya, South Africa and the United States, Jann Klose is currently collaborating with Ann Hampton Callaway, Renaissance's Annie Haslam, Hall & Oates' John Oates and The Yardbirds' Jim McCarty. In 2015 Jann and his music appeared in the short film THE BEAUTY OF DISASTER (Glimmer Girl, USA) and the award-winning Australian feature documentary A VENUE FOR THE END OF THE WORLD (BrinkVision, USA). His most recent album, MOSAIC won three 2014 Independent Music Awards and charted for several months on the AMA and Roots Rock charts.

Gary and Jann both worked on the movie GREETINGS FROM TIM BUCKLEY (Tribeca Film/Focus/Universal). Jann is the singing voice of Tim Buckley, while Gary consulted and played guitar. Tony Award winner Frank Wood plays Gary in the film.

Steve Saluto To Release A New Single "Now Go To Sleep" January 30, 2016


After only one month from his latest "Rainbow" the Italian guitarplayer, singer and songwriter Steve Saluto, (known to be "a recording studio genius" ) will release the single "Now Go To Sleep" on Saturday, January 30, 2016 via The Orchard. Fans can pre-order online the single that will be included in the upcoming new album "Choose The Pill".

Written, Performed, Recorded and Produced by Steve himself "Now Go To Sleep" is a romantic acoustic ballad that brings the imagination of the listener to a room with a fireplace and bearskin rug and where the arrangements are stark and disarmingly intimate, bringing to mind confessional songwriters like Daniel Johnston, Mark Lanegan and Nick Drake, both of whom Saluto has admitted looking to as influences.

Heavy Metal Band VIA Signs To Unable Records


In the ultimate case of saving-the-best-for-last, Unable Records has rocked the American metal scene on the final day of the year. Violence in Ascension, the veteran metal band also known as VIA, has just inked a one album deal with Unable Records, a division of the Unable Music Group. The agreement calls for a full-length album, likely consisting of 10 brand new original songs, to be released later in 2016.

VIA, who recently adopted their long-form name Violence in Ascension, are a well established staple in the East Coast metal scene. Since early 2012, VIA has released both an EP and a full-length album; the latter (From the Ashes - 2014) while signed to the North Carolina heavy metal label Dark Harvest Records. During that time the band has played a relentless show schedule, hitting stages from South Carolina to New York And as far west as Ohio, where they played the main stage for fans at Cleveland's famed Rockapalooza. VIA has shared the stage with notable bands such as Texas in July, Attack! Attack! and The Devil Wears Prada.

For the crew at Unable Records, VIA represents a breath of fresh air; a band that not only packs an unbelievable amount of raw talent, but backs it up with unmatched dedication and persistence. They are the definition of what it means to never give up, and Unable Records is proud to now call them part of the family. The new album, and the extensive tour schedule that will undoubtedly follow, will embody that heart, that dedication, that character. Metal fans should expect nothing short of a masterpiece - a masterpiece that exudes energy, confidence, charisma and attitude.

If speed is any indication of the excitement behind this project, Unable Records and VIA must be through the roof. Fans won't have long to wait for results, as the band's tracking sessions have already been booked - for January 2016! The album will be recorded, mixed and produced by the well known engineer/producer Jason Ruch, at Unable Music Group's 0x1 Sound Studio in Cherry Hill, NJ. Mastering will be performed by James Forbes (Metal Blade, Roadrunner, Warner Bros., Sony) of Vortex Music Productions in Clearwater, FL. The album will be released, distributed and promoted worldwide by Unable Records, in both digital and CD formats. Metal fans the world over are about to learn about struggle, sacrifice and perseverance - about Violence in Ascension. In mid-2016, VIA will ascend.

Musician Composes AudioVisual "World Peace Vaccine"


Veteran musician,composer & recording artist Robert Kramer, inspired by the recent tragic events in Paris & the U.S., has released a single and music video titled "The Human Element", planned for worldwide debut this Christmas.

Creating what he terms "a musical vaccine to heal hearts and minds", the video echoes the emotions and sentiment, exposing a global community torn apart by useless violence, showing the faces and the eyes in a parade of endless victims.

In addition, embedded in the images and the sounds of the music video are positive subliminal affirmations and healing tones deliberately put into the soundtrack to "speak directly to the subconsciousness of an entire world".

"I wanted to create an audio-visual message that will reach everyone..." says Kramer. "We've been exposed to so much evil and negativity that we lose perspective...we begin to accept it as a part of our lives, and in doing so, we feel helpless to do anything about it.

It's no longer useful to just talk about world peace. It becomes a "meme", a catch phrase...something that sounds good, but has no action connected with it. It's time for us as a world community to take action. WE create "The Human Element" when we act together and actively reach out to each other. Thats exactly the purpose of this song."

In addition to the melody and lyrics, specific combinations of notes and ultra low frequency tones & healing vibrations at specific megahertz are embedded within the song itself below the range of human hearing using "subliminal masking".

Kramer claims society has been subliminally programmed for decades by advertisements, sales pitches and politics. Research indicates the use and manipulation of sound and visual imagery is a key element to strategically re-programming the conscious mind.

Stating submliminal techniques have been abused in the past, he offers that "applied correctly, sound and vibrations can have a positive impact on the subconscious. Maybe its time to reverse some of the negative trend by infusing more positive suggestions back into our audiovisual experience. The world could certainly use a vaccine like that.."

The song, which will appear on a special 5 song EP scheduled for global release on Dec 25th, will debut simultaneously with the music video.
