Influences, hm? Okay, let's see... Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Johnny Cash, Sarah McLachlan, Leonard Cohen, Tori Amos, Einsturzende Neubauten, The Misfits...
What else... Jim Thirlwell, NIN, Bowie, Public Enemy, Devo, The Vapors...
I'm sure I'll think of more later...
Sounds Like
... a very sensitive man, singing sad songs while falling down a flight of stairs with his guitar...
My name is Eric Rowe, and I'm a singer/songwriter from the Washington DC area. I play an emotional mix of vocals and acoustic guitar, inflected with a few noisy shards of my goth-industrial background. I write a lot of my own material, but I also enjoy 'reinterpreting' (or 'mangling') the classics.
If you like the stuff you hear on this page, please swing by earowe.com, where I've got a whole bunch of mp3 downloads, free for the taking...
Hey! I wanted to let you know that I just posted two new songs from my debut album "Like I'm Beautiful" which comes out in March. I hope you'll check out the music and look for the album when it is released next month :)
Sending you guys both a hug. Was missing DC and listening to the tracks you have on your MySpace page. I'm happy that you keep making music. You should. They lyrics are the sort that think about later, and I like that about you.
We just wanted to let you know that Dermaptera has released a new CD! It's called Blue and Wide, and you can download a full-length version of one of the songs from the album by clicking here. If you like it and want to hear more, please click on our CD cover below, and you will be linked to CD Baby, where you can hear two minute samples of all of the songs from the album (or buy it, if you like). If you have already gotten a copy of the CD, and like it, we would be very happy if you could post a review of the CD on CD Baby. Thanks so much for your support!
Not sure if you’ve heard but Im offering four FREE downloads from the up-coming UNITED STATES OF AUSCHWITZ project. These free downloads are my way of sayin thank you just for checking out the animal.
Ive been denied air-play due to the content of my lyrics so the success of the UNITED STATES OF AUSCHWITZ project depends on the support of individuals like yourself. The next four tracks, “UNITED STATES OF AUSCHWITZ CHAPTER.002,” will be released July 4th. Good looks and stay focused.
That's great! Thanks so much for the support. I'm really glad you liked it. :) Maybe we can play a show together when I head out that way later this summer.
