Here’s some reviews of some of my work from some very gracious people. "A challenging peek at where the post modern primitive is going from here" - Metropulse Magazine page. I guarantee it is worth taking the time to listen to each song. As you go through the tracks you can’t help but be struck by the diverse sounds the band puts out. From the hard rocking Move It that starts out with riffs reminiscent of some of Slash’s best and vocals in the vein of Great White to the more contemplative mood of Orange and Then Brighter with sounds evocative of Pink Floyd this CD really does have it all. My favorite cut is Starting to Feel You whose vocals remind me of some early Who tracks (think of the Tommy album) and of the later works of Green Day. This same Who-sounding vocal is repeated on the song Easy on the Eyes. Lyrically, I found Orange and the Brighter to be the best. Every word of the song will strike a chord with anyone who has ever been in love or are still in love or who want to be in love. The following is a small sample from the song: "...my feelings go orange and then brighter, my mind it gets high and it soars the waves feel so good on the water my music gets me through my tour. My feelings go orange and then brighter my mind it gets high and it soars can you reach it, can you see it, can you see it ..." most of the music and vocals come from lead singer, Will Fletcher of Rock City, TN, who plays the guitar, drums, bass, and piano. After laying down all the tracks, he mixes them together in his studio. Will also wrote all the words and music for the new CD. When touring and for some session recordings, Dave Nave plays the guitar and adds back up vocals. You can hear some of Dave’s work ..ing to Feel You. Many great bands have lead singers and lead guitarists who have great chemistry together such as The Edge and Bono of U2, Slash and Axl Rose of Gun’s ’n Roses and, of course, Joe Perry and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith fame. I think Will and Dave should carry on together in this tradition because they do make awesome sounds together. John Darling for Associated Content STOP NOW READ KNOXVILLE NEW SENTINEL ARTICLE- 11/02/07 Fletcher hopes to distribute the CD through local music vendors, but points out that the Internet distribution that was once a band staple has become ethically baffling following Radiohead’s recent name-your-own price innovation. “It’s kind of messed-up,” Fletcher says. “Radiohead put out their new album, and it’s totally free. The biggest band in the world puts out an album for free, and then you have to turn around and charge for yours? ... Right now I think the album is in a weird position in the music industry. We definitely feel bad having to charge for a CD when Radiohead’s putting theirs out for free.” Material from “Raise the Remote” has already received acclaim from writers across the country. With a varied mix of fast-paced rock tracks and ethereal, melodic ballads, the songs are often reminiscent of Peter, Bjorn and John. While the band has tracks being played on college stations and even a Brooklyn-based R&B station, Fletcher, a one-time disc jockey, acknowledges the challenge of introducing new music through major radio outlets. “The radio is locked up anymore,” Fletcher says. “It used to be that you could give somebody a record and they could play it. They can’t do that anymore. Working at a radio station was frustrating because there’s so much good music, but it just can’t get played. A lot of new ideas are getting quashed because there’s not a lot of outlets in big radio. If you’re singing a song about the war, it’s a fact they’re not going to play it.” adamant political stance is at odds with radio’s reluctance to play such songs, and the band’s lyrics create potential discord with audiences.
