SUOSITUIMMAT TARINAT

Head seethes with energy and it shows in the sound. The music hits like a train; strong forward motion and unified downbeats mixed with the raw force of powerful female vocals creates a sound as hard as a thrown brick and just as heavy. They’ve shared stages with hi-powered acts including Lacuna Coil, King’s X, Fishbone and Trik Turner and rock smaller clubs as hard as stadiums.

Guitarist Michael Zimney and vocalist Lexi Greene had already been writing together for years before pulling Lexi’s bassist brother Mark into the fold. Noted East Coast session drummer Ron DiSilvestro was hand picked for his immaculate technique and fierce pocket while Tori Ryzner’s use of ethereal Rhodes and synth throws an organic and ghostly timbre up against Michael’s raucous, alternately distorted and haunting guitar riffs. Ron and Mark’s precision double percussive attack provides a solid foundation for Lexi to build her purr-turned-sledgehammer vocals. The entire unit pulses together as a single living, breathing whole.

Having caught the band’s live show at a club on the outskirts of Philly, Grammy-nominated producer/engineer Phil Nicolo (Dishwalla, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Anthrax, The Police) brought the band into Studio4 for six intensive days of recording. Using only vintage analog equipment, the result is a weighty, richly textured 7-song power plant of aggressive guitar and vocal driven grooves punctuated with bursts of spacious keyboards and synths. Simply titled with the name of the band, the EP debuts a new sort of Rock that breaks convention as much as it instantly resonates. The impression it leaves is crystal clear - this is not just another band from Philly, this is the beginning of a much deeper strike.
