..Have you ever popped in a CD or hit a MySpace page or been listening to the radio and heard a band for the very first time and thought “WOW! I LOVE this band!!! Give me more!” and then the more you hear of them, the more you want? That’s how it was for me when I first heard The Sermon from San Francisco.
A year or so ago I had done a CD review on a band called Rollercoaster. Now two of the three members of this band are playing with The Sermon, but were not with them when their album: “Articles of War” was recorded. The Sermon, as they were then were: Greg Daniels, Matt Gabriel, Mike Gabriel and Dave Leonard. The current line-up of The Sermon is: Mike Gabriel (vocals and theremin), Dave Leonard (drums and backing vocals), Cameron Lovelace (bass), Jeremy Lyn (Guitar and backing vocals) and Matteo Perra (Guitar and backing vocals). I love Rollercoaster so I can only imagine how they sound as a live band now. They’re playing a few shows at the end of August in California, so make sure you go and see them and let me know what you think.
Their influences come from the classic blues artists: Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters, the psychedelic sound of Velvet Underground, The Doors, 13th Floor Elevators and Small Faces, punk from The Damned, The Clash, MC5, The Stooges and New York Dolls and the pure rock of The Who, The Rolling Stones, Kiss and Yardbirds. You can see they really value where Rock and Roll comes from and the Masters that were creating it, and when you listen to their music it is evident too.
Articles of War starts off with a no-nonsense politically charged song, A Choice of Weapons, probably the punkiest of the songs on the album. My favorite song is Time Zone Blues; because of the cool guitar intro that leads into a groovy rift- yes I did just say “groovy”. As well as being full of catchy melodies, the CD’s lyrics are well written and sung with such intensity as to grab your attention. I really love every track but a couple of other songs that really stood out for me were Day In/Day Out, The Hunted (maybe because it’s about a badass bitch with black hair) and Freight- although when I first started listening to the CD I thought it was the last song, it just has that feel to it, but it is actually song number four.
This is a CD that will get a lot of mileage at home and in my car. Check the band out on their myspace – you can buy their music through Snocap right off their page.

Happy Thanksgiving
The year has turned its circle,
The seasons come and go.
The harvest all is gathered in
And chilly north winds blow.
Orchards have shared their treasures,
The fields, their yellow grain,
So open wide the doorway ---
Thanksgiving comes again!
xoxo
