Although this may be the debut CD of the band SLEEZER, founder John Sleezer is a performance veteran who has truly lived a rock and roll lifestyle. John was raised playing polkas and waltzes on his accordion, but being exposed to the Beatles and then shipped off to military school in Tennessee changed that for good. Upon arrival, Sleezer soon joined the Drum and Bugle corps, where his penchant for beating on mom’s Tupperware was transformed by a learning experience that honed him into an impressive percussionist. But it was after military school, when John moved back home to Illinois and sold his accordion for an electric guitar that his rock and roll journey began.
From his first band, “Oz,” formed in the ‘70s, to his most recent CD, I Remember, John Sleezer’s rock journey reads like a classic Spinal Tap story of success in the face of travesty. Suffering through his studio burning down, and various bandmates retiring, dying, landing in jail, and falling off roofs, John has weathered many trials and tribulations over the years that have only served to mature his own songwriting, singing, and guitar playing.
Here on the impressive and rocking I Remember, John Sleezer (guitar/vocals) is joined by bandmates Jeff Wild (drums) and John Lessick (bass) to form a power trio that can crank out rock and roll originals with fiery abandon. With John’s gritty and expressive vocals and a classic rock instrumental sound, you may sometimes feel like you’re listening to Eddie Money fronting Van Halen.
But SLEEZER isn’t about making rock and roll just for the sake of stirring up some noise. Through the layered guitars and solid rhythm section, you’ll also find a cache of impressive songs about love and life on I Remember.
