It Ain't Retro, Its Just ROCK!!
A VERY strong debut by the Dave Rude Band. The emphasis being on the word BAND. All too often a band named for it's leader or one fronted by a hot shot guitarist ends up being a 'look at me! look at me!' affair or worst yet an excuse to see how many solos can be crammed into each song. NOT the case with this six song EP. The most impressive thing about this disc are the songs themselves. No overblown, exhausting to listen to 8 minute shread-fests here. Instead you have well crafted SONGS. As performed by a real live band. Not taking away whatsoever from Rude's guitar on the EP - these are guitar dominated tunes after all - but the focus is on the hooks and the melodies. As for the guitar, the tone is what stands out to me. Dave's got it to spare! It goes without saying that the production is top notch as is the artwork.
The overall sound of the Dave Rude Band is one that is immediately familiar. Not retro! This isn't a calculated attempt to rip-off the past but instead a result of mixing up a big ol' vat of classic rock influences and adding a modern twist. If you need an old school comparison think Cheap Trick on steroids.
Stand out tracks include 'Heavy As A Raindrop', 'Crooked Bullseye' and 'Eighteen Eyes'.

I sing and play guitar. I've got my own band. We play rock'n'roll music. We like melody. We like cool lyrics. We like chord progressions that make a chill run up your spine. We like riffs. We like solos. We like you, so check out our songs. Also, I'm lucky enough to play guitar in one of my favorite bands, TESLA.
DAVE RUDE uses only "SPECTRAFLEX CABLES"! WHY? Because they ROCK!!
