"Is it possible to smash a guitar un-self-consciously? It certainly seemed that way at Cake Shop earlier this month, when Awesome Color left a roomful of in-the-know types gleefully dumbstruck. (Oakley Hall was headlining-- that alone means several quality musicians were present.) Singer Derek Stanton's seemingly unpremeditated ax-whacking lacked any sense of violence or menace(which is fine). It was simply the final blow in a stream of gestures that translate across rock & roll forms; any punk, metal, or bar-rock fan can appreciate the thrill of someone playing guitar with his bare feet--and having it both look and sound cool. (Yes, Stanton did that, too). Considering that Awesome Color has been a band for only nine months, there's an alarming lack of things to find fault with in their music or its execution; even the name makes sense after witnessing the trio's unironic stage presence. Some of the group's songs evoke Sabbath as played by Germans in the '70s, with Stanton's terse riffs cruising atop crisp, loping grooves provided by bassist Michael Troutman and drummer Allison Busch. Other tunes come across like lean, airy impressions of classic Southern rock (the three met in Ann Arbor, Michigan--the northernmost Southern state--before setting up together in Bushwick). But the most indelible image from an Awesome Color show is the rapt joy in Stanton's face when he backs away from the microphone for a solo. It was infections in the close quarters of Cake Shop, and should be at the Lakeside, too." Mike Wolf.. -

Bio:
Hey friends, we have a few 7"s left over from our Spring tours and we'd like to offer them for sale to help us out with rent, burrito money and such...
We made 300 of these tour 7"s featuring alternate live-in-the-studio to tape, no-overdub recordings of our songs "Flying" and "IOU" from the new record. We recorded these songs with our buddy, Josh, at Bushwick Studio in Brooklyn, NY, about 1/2 a year before we recorded the full-length record in Michigan. Pretty raw versions with lots of energy!
The records look great. They all have hand-screenprinted and hand-numbered covers. Allison and Michael did the artwork with some tweaks from Wolfy of Kayrock Screenprinting who also helped us with the printing.
Perfect record to kick off a killer summer with! Just click on the cover image above or this link here to be redirected to a page where you can purchase the single.
Thanks to everyone for all your help, love and support over the years!
Love,
Awesome Color.
