THE FOOL FUNNEL RELEASES DEBUT ALBUM Wow! It's extraordinary to see such earthshaking news buried in an obscure band's press release. The doctors of the world have been pulling the wool over our eyes, and one band holds the key to saving millions of lives: Phoenix, AZ, Feb 6, 2012 (Press Release): Arizona-based indie rock project The Fool Funnel releases controversial album entitled The Cure for Cancer Revealed. The album's title track claims that cancer is curable and the medical community knows of the cure. The is [sic] multi-genre and has many radio-friendly tracks. The album is available on Spotify, Amazon, and iTunes along with many Internet radio stations. I headed straight for Spotify to investigate the album's title track, but the medical establishment was one step ahead of me — the song clearly contained important information, but the lyrics had been rendered completely inaudible by some kind of audio production sabotage! Big Pharma had buried the truth under a oatmealy slurry of guitar noise, and only fragments of intelligible phrases remained: " . . . research . . . the cure in 2004 . . . studies, based on events. . . . " The band's Web site leads to a domain parking page; they've probably been assassinated by industrialized medicine. The good news is that, after I listened to it half a dozen times to try to make out the words, the track kind of grew on me; it's cute, in a weird-Eraserhead-baby sort of way. I wound up listening to the whole record, and several of the tunes were indeed "radio friendly," in that they could be played on a radio without damaging it (or I guess just played at a radio without damaging it).

Connection ('Hippie Punk") there are now over 30 years of recordings under The HP Connection moniker. Later then moving to Lexington Ky. He then spent his youth singing in various punk rock bands in Lexington Ky: December's Children, The Misplaced. When Toby was a kid, there was no ROCK BAND video games.... You had to put together a band and play shows, that was it. And we did we wrote songs and played shows. After moving to California then Arizona he took a 20 year hiatus from music until recently picking up a Fender Stratocaster and realizing that he could play it. Rather than attempting to put another band together he went the Logic route of compositions and back to the basics, only now there is a lot more technology behind the concept of The H.P. Connection. This project is THE FOOL FUNNEL.

    Weirdly I use all effects and don't try to carve out a signature effect setting. That is lame. The idea is try to make the song sound as cool as possible. And although U2 has made millions on Delay, Chorus, Shimmer and raking the Guitar madly. Well I believe listeners don't want to be served up the same guitar sound with different lyrics album after album. So The Fool Funnel sounds like everything, it really does.
