New York City, 2012. In June 2011, The New Yorker called the band WORKOUT “a hyperactive rock monster” and compared their music to a love child of David Bowie and Roky Erickson. But all flattery aside, this isn’t quite the full picture. This is a Brooklyn band in the grandest tradition of Rock and Roll here to break some hearts and unleash wild times. Featuring Jack Killen on vocals and piano, Alexander W. Forbes on guitar, Jason Langdon on bass and Tim Traynor on drums, this four-piece fills rooms with their anthemic odes on love, death and fantasy. These are big songs with finger-tapped guitar solos, sing-along choruses, foot-stomping chants and enough wild noise to make any bar break out into a brawl. Their self-titled debut album, featuring “Bottom Barrel Boys”, was released on September 24th 2011, twenty years after Nevermind and can be purchased only at your local N.Y.C. bodega or on-line at the band’s website. With hardly any of the songs being under the 5 minute mark, you can tell these guys really want you to get your money’s worth – strap yourself in for the ride and help put the classic back in Rock.
Time Travelers And The Electric Band
Created in Brooklyn (summer 2010) Island boy Fin Moore and Tallahassee native Steven Wilson formed an acoustic outfit focusing on off beat rhythms, classic harmonies and familiar song arrangement. Quickly the two began to play small venues around the local area to hone their skills and develop a solid musical repoire. Yet they didn't seem to be fulfilled with the restrictions of acoustic instruments.
After drafting schooled bassist, Westchester bully Casey Masback the band decided to adapt their sound to the world of electric guitars and early modeled synthesizers. Once they settled on a drummer from Melmac (Brian Durniak) the band was born, Time travelers and the electric band 2012. The band now takes the 70's fundamentals of of rock and roll and twists it with the contemporary. Picture Dr. Who dancing with Michael Jackson playing "Little red corvette" on his discman.
