Well, since everyone has a MySpace page, I might as well have one myself.
There's a really good chance you came from my website already - or even better, from The Toastmen mySpace page. If you did, don't expect too much new here. I'm only one guy, so the priority is my own website. Also, it cuts into my PS3 time.
If you didn't come from my website, then how's it going? I'm the guy responsible for the 4 songs you heard when you got to this page. Just another one-man-band thing (I know, I'm a dime a dozen). I should mention that I do indeed play in a band as well (The Toastmen... http://www.myspace.com/toastmen ). I didn't want you thinking that I sit around and play with myself all day.
As mentioned in the 2nd paragraph, the more exciting website to vist would be http://www.greggkoval.com . That's the site I pay most attention to anyways.
So if you read this far, then all I can say is thanks.
Gregg Koval has blasted out another great rock CD “Drives It Home.” Packed with edgy, guitar driven rock and funky blues, Koval keeps the beat moving and grooving. His vocals are right on the mark and capture the essence of this style of music. “Plenty Enough to Go Around” and “Take What You Need” equally show off the funky and bluesy side of this album. There is also a nice melodic guitar riff on “Wasting the Day Away”, with its catchy rhythmic run. Koval has a special talent for making his lyrics fun, as is heard on the song “Alien To Me.” Fans of Joe Walsh will definitely appreciate “Drives It Home”, a fun CD with energetic rock tunes and rock solid guitar solos. http://www.radioindy.com/bands/3993/
..“Hits The Spot” is a fun, guitar-driven rock album from do-it-yourself musician Gregg Koval and his backing band, The Toastmen. This album is actually two seven track albums in one - “Hits The Spot” and “On Ice”. The combination results in fourteen '70s rock-influenced anthems with plenty of jam sessions, guitar solos, and distortion. Combine this sound with Koval's vocal performances and the outfit as a whole creates a sound reminiscent of Joe Walsh and Dire Straits. The lyrics are fun and catchy, as Koval sings about love, parking cars, shortcuts, and winking, subjects you'll be singing along to in no time. Koval has a history of self-producing four-track recordings, so it should come as no surprise that he did the same with “Hits The Spot.” That said, the album sounds great and has an endearing quality that preserves the fun sound Koval is going for. “Telekinetic” begins with a great guitar solo intro, soon after matched note for note in the bass line and has a great overall arrangement and lyrics throughout. “Passing Time” is an instrumental track with great acoustic work and layering with electric guitar, bass, and drums. “On Ice” is filled with a haunting wind effect, excellent guitar riffs, and a great catchy rhyming chorus. “Hits The Spot” is a well-crafted double album with memorable lyrics and a fun rock sound. Fans of '70s rock and songs about the little things in life should certainly add this album to your collection. ..-Chris & the RadioIndy. com Review Team Check out Greg Koval's music on R
"Will Work for Money" by Gregg Koval is a fun collection of rock songs. Gregg's clever lyrical plays on words had us laughing throughout the CD. The combination of these clever lyrics and Gregg's knack for writing memorable choruses, will leave you with some repeatingly funny themes in your mind after listening to this CD - Go ahead, grab a handful and help yourself to these tracks. The music on the CD is solid as well, especially the guitar playing. "Knocked Up" was one of our favorites, with a catchy upbeat groove and a memorable chorus that had us cracking up. There's even some financial advise on the CD, with "Line of Credit." If you're looking to lighten up your day with some good tunes and good laughs, check out this CD.
