Stony Plain Records artist: MonkeyJunk - All Frequencies - New Release Review

Image
I just received the newest release (September 24, 2013), All Frequencies , from MonkeyJunk and it's a cool blues rocker. Opening with You Make A Mess , a fleet footed rocker,with Steve leading the way on vocal and baritone guitar. Tony D plays a flashy guitar solo and Matt Sobb is tight on drums. This is an easy play for radio play with it's solid beat and melodic hook. Right From Wrong has a more traditional rock blues rhythm and vocal track. Marriner has a particularly good voice for music like this comparable to Paul Rogers to my ears. Also adept at harp, Marriner holds down the bass line on the bari as he trades harp riffs with Tony D on guitar. Why Are People Like That is a particularly strong track with a hammering drum beat reinforced by Marriner on bari and leading the way with his vocal style. Tony D lays down some really nice shimmery guitar riffs on this track making it one of my favorites. Je Nah Say Kwah is a funky little pop track with Wonder like harp riffs...
