A pop band of tomorrow
The world is your playground/And you want to win/But when youčre
broken down/And no one else is around/Youčll come running back to this town/And
Ičll be there. Like the now-defunct roller coaster the band grew up riding
which gives them their name, Dexter Freebishčs Capitol Records debut, A
Life of Saturdays, takes you on a visceral ride, a thrilling rock & roll
journey filled with hairpin turns, dramatic ups and downs and the kind of
exhilaration which only comes from great songs with lots of energy. From
the Cars-meets-U2 of Leaving Town, the first single (and winner of the prestigious
John Lennon Songwriting Contest as Song of the Year) to Tomorrow the minor-chord
tribute to the friends and relatives who helped them along the way, the
fivesome are committed to the art of the song, a tradition that stretches
back to the Beatles and incorporates such disparate influences as The Beatles,
Jimi Hendrix, U2, the Verve, Neil Diamond, Portishead, Led Zeppelin, and
Duran Duran. People will put us in whatever category they want to, says
vocalist Kyle, who originally hooked up with bassist Chris Lowe to write
songs and play together acoustically before adding Charles, then Rob and
then finally Scott. Wečre not afraid to be labeled pop, because we are a
rock band. We just want people to enjoy our music and get something out
of it. |
