The Rock Ridge Music GHIDRAH - the music is FIRE!
Cantinero is back, and we are offering a sneak preview of "My House" from an
upcoming album. Cantinero's debut "Championship Boxing" received rave
reviews, and coverage that included an 11 minute interview on NPR's Weekend
Edition, video play on MTV's Subterranean, and a Top 50 record at the AAA
radio format.
"We Belong To The Staggering Evening" is the natural yet alarming evolution
for The Ike Reilly Assassination. Sounding furious and maniacal and on top
of the world at the outset, "The Staggering Evening" is performed with
something to prove and nothing to lose. Handclaps and tambourines, the
call-and-response, twisted-gospel vocals, and driving NYC-underground
guitars are all part of Reilly's American portrayal of rock 'n' roll in this
lost new era. Produced by Reilly, "The Staggering Evening" is an album that
should be blasted on a hectic Friday night from jukeboxes in bars that
haven't banned smoking, from college dorm rooms, from economy cars in shit
traffic, and stuck in the ears of iPod-listening subway riders. It's a
"Cops" episode; it's Lenny Bruce after being the celebrity judge on
"American Idol;" it's a night full of lust and regret, blood and anarchy,
and a blind date with the disaffected -- a hilarious night that begins with
a swill and ends with a tender kiss.
For some, living the rock 'n' roll dream means fame, fortune and all the
excess that comes with it. The Marble Index are living a different dream. It
involves the proverbial blood, sweat and tears. It involves perseverance and
effort. It involves working like sons of bitches and making the most of
opportunity. If this dream doesn't sound as sexy, you've read too many
magazines. This is good, old-fashioned rock 'n' roll spirit, with nothing
airbrushed, steroid-pumped or collagen-enhanced - but sexy indeed. In fact,
if you compare The Marble Index's self-titled debut and their latest, "Watch
Your Candles, Watch Your Knives," you'll hear a band who haven't lost an
ounce of muscle, but have gained a remarkable amount of finesse. Even as
their album was landing on new shelves in new countries, the Index had
regrouped at home to record "Watch Your Candles, Watch Your Knives." They
hunkered down for several weeks at Hamilton, Ontario's Catharine North
Studios, with producer Scott Sh
ields (the Mescaleros, G.U.N.) at the helm.
