   About Montrose
HEY EVERYONE! Just wanted to let you know that I'm NOT one of those artists who doesn't accept friend requests from other bands...I dig all types of music and welcome your requests and your comments...HOWEVER, please don't use this page to simply advertise your band or your business or whatever. If I see something like that on my comment page I will delete it...we have to be REAL COOL for you to do that...peace........................................................................................ PURCHASE MONTROSE'S "INERTIA" AT http://cdbaby.com/cd/montrose ....................................................................................................... Dallas, Texas-based artist Montrose returns with his sophomore release, Inertia. The new album features eleven stunning tunes written and produced by the artist. The growth and maturity in Montrose's songwriting and musicianship can be found in each vibrant track. Released on his independent label Candlehouse Records, Inertia is the follow-up to the debut album "Invisible Milk," released in 1998. Montrose began recording Inertia in late 2002. "I really wanted to take my time with this project,€? he said. €œI recorded with several different musicians and just like 'Milk' the project really took on a personality of its own. It's definitely worth the time it's taken."----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inertia has reached music lovers as far away as Japan, Australia and the U.K. It showcases Montrose's mature and developed songwriting, his cool vocals as well as his blissed out guitar playing. Inertia has a variety of textures and moods. From mellow psychedelic, P-Funk spaciness, and old school soul, it is all there. The intro track "Eureka" is a stellar introduction to his strong songwriting talent and musicianship (yes, on several tracks he is a one man band), and muscular guitar work. "Deep Within" exhibits a knack for a catchy hook, strong melody, and Sly and the Family Stone like female vocals. "Never Be Mine" is a timeless rock and soul ballad and Montrose also delivers a stirring arrangement of Terrence Trent D'Arby's "Surrender" that moves from the ethereal to a guitar driven climax. The haunting song €œDown€? was used in a recent episode of The Discovery Channel special series €œUrban Explorers.€?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As a performer, Montrose created a local buzz and loyal fan base, performing with his band as the opening act for the Dallas leg of the MP3 National Music Tour as well as a featured artist at the North Texas New Music Festival. His monthly acoustic performances are a popular draw at Standard and Pours Coffee, Dallas€™ premier singer/songwriter venue. He has also performed at the Hard Rock Café, The Dallas City Arts Festival and The Taste of Dallas, in addition to other venues in the Dallas and Houston area. In June Montrose was featured in The Dallas Morning News€™ daily publication €œThe Quick€? as the band of the week. In March of 2000, Montrose graced the cover of the Houston Press music section when he and his band kicked off a four-day tour of Houston area venues. From its reflective lyrics, smooth vocals and funk/rock/acoustic guitar, covering various moods and textures, Inertia is a combination of rock, soul and funk that doesn't disappoint. You will find that after several listens to Inertia, you have discovered a soul treasure in Montrose.

Inner City - In a music scene full of contrived ideas and concepts Inner City walks the path of the innovation of soul music. Not since the likes of Isaac Hayes, Teddy Pendergrass and the late Barry White has a Bass/Baritone voice graced the worlds ears with sultry orgasmic tones and melodic rhapsody. His songwriting captures the timeless art of storytelling that sparks strong similarities to legends such as Bill Withers and Marvin Gaye. Walt reinvents the classic style of a soul artist with his own personal stories of turmoil, pain, love and loose. Making his sound the perfect blend of today, yesterday and tomorrow.

The music is a unique melting pot of many influences that expand the boundaries of contemporary Jazz, R&B, Funk, Rock, Hip-hop, House and Soul. Its sets the platform and the vibe to complement the mental visuals for the journey. Inner City is the perfect combination of orgasmic rythmns and stories of redemption of the spirit.
Relax and enjoy the ups and downs of
