Release Notes:
The CosmoSonics have the tonic for what ails you.
While the band name is new, the players are staples
on the underground rock and punk scenes of our fair
city. Three are former Science Fiction Idols: Gary
D'Grave (vocals, guitars), Angel O (drums) and
Harrison Dray (bass). After recruiting guitarist
Chaz, formerly of Hallowmas, the CosmoSonics
immediately began writing, recording and playing,
not coming up for air and not pausing for one
millisecond.
The brand-spanking-new album, Junk Rock ... For
Lovers! was recorded at Soundscape Studios and
engineered by Doug Kasper. But what is "junk rock"?
According to D'Grave, it's the infusion of many
different kinds of music, blended into "exciting,
catchy, fun shit." The CosmoSonics take their
influences from glam rock, punk, pop, bluesy hard
rock and heavy metal; blended together, that equals
glampunkmetalpopblues. Got that?! Let's move on.
This 13-track rock extravaganza is an unapologetic,
bombastic, raunchy ride -- nothing melancholy or
depressing here -- and it's bursting with rock
anthems: On "Rave It Up!!" the boys snarl, "Hey,
hey, if you want to play, it's rock 'n' roll baby,
so bombs away." The musicianship is polished but
edgy, the songwriting original, and the tunes will
force you to shake your moneymaker. If this album
doesn't jump-start your heart, you'd better check
your pulse; if you don't like your music loud and
proud, please continue shopping in the Adult
Contemporary section.
