The voice just stops you in your tracks. It's that rarest of sounds. A wail as jagged as a howling wolf
The voice just stops you in your tracks. It's that rarest of sounds. A wail as jagged as a howling wolf's shot out of a popstar lit sky. Lush doesn't begin to describe its melodic clinch, intoxicating to the animal spirit. The vehicle for this manna is Neon Escape, arrived to blow your mind, fusing alt-pop's cutting-edge tendencies to prog's symphonic peaks, indexing state-of-the-art rock both classic and experimental just for kicks. Neon Escape makes stadium rock for an unsuspecting generation, who wouldn't know the catalytic squall of "We Will Rock You" outside of a football game or that Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" was once the theme on "Top of The Pops." It's all the way hard rock, post-grunge and it's glam, post-Diamond Dogs, post-The Killers. Imagine Queen's righteous yearnings soaring through the rock power stations of Yes and ELO, augmented by the bait-and-switch beats of Queens of the Stone Age. Dialing the virtuosity way up, riding tidal-wave guitar sustains and pounding toms out to sea, Neon Escape stretches the limits of a pop hook to fit rock's barbaric yawp and redefines critical mass for the 21st Century.
Pure, raw rock and roll emotion is king in all its amaranthine splendor on Neon Escape's debut "We Won't Wait Any Longer" out now online and available in stores August 13, 2010. Co-produced by the band with Ian Mereness of R Kelly and Jay-Z fame, the album's twelve tracks are a stylistic tour de force, alternating from dazzling to dark, from jagged symphonies to rousing anthems. Throughout the album, every song rocks with the resolute joy of the musically redeemed, free at last to be all that they can be together as Neon Escape. The end result being a dynamically complex classic of innovative proportions. Find your way in the dark.
