Ash Gray and the Girls – Born in the Summer 2012

Now…

To get an idea of Ash Gray and the Girls sound on their debut disc, Born in the Summer, one could simply consider the cover art and the album title. The former echoes the art of the late Sixties, and the latter refers to 1967, ‘the summer of love,’ when Haight-Ashbury became the center of the Hippie universe.

If that’s not enough, here’s a third clue: Ash Gray covers ‘Bus Stop,’ The Hollies hit from 1966. It’s symbolic of his influences, having grown up in the UK and weaned his parent’s Sixties record collection.Born in the Summer is rich with the folk to psychedelic styles that permeated the music scene of the counter-cultural revolution. Measures of Eastern intrigue fill many songs thanks to the presence of a Sitar. Where ‘the Girls’ come in is as his harmony vocal support for Ash Gray.

JETBONE – JETBONE 2012

now…From Sweden

Jetbone is a Rock & Roll band from Punksvall, Sweden.

The band has existed since 2008 melting down their special brew of Power Pop, Blues & Boogie. Jetbone is an explosive load of straight forward Rock & Roll! The members of the band have known each other since they were kids, growing up together playing soccer and hockey among other things. During their high shcool years they merged together with a mutual interest in good music. By mixing their different influences they developed their own style of Rock & Roll, deriving their sound mainly from 1970’s hard rock and rock bands such as Kiss, The Faces and The Rolling Stones. They’re also influenced by the likes of Jackson Browne and you’ll also definitely hear some echoes of the 90’s Garage/Punk wave. Raunchy hard hitting guitars, wild drums, a screaming organ and a punchy bass all topped with punky “spit it out” vocals are some of the ingredients of their of their clean-cut new rocking tunes, Jetbone Rock & Roll.
