Off on a Tangent is an up-and-coming act from Boca Raton who is influenced by all ends of the musical spectrum. Fronted by Jordan Sherman, (guitar and vocals) the band delivers catchy and energetic songs that are only reinforced at a live a show. Maximo Cortese on the drums has changed what being a rock drummer is all about, laying it down with passion, finesse, originality, and consistency. Shermans lyrics are to relate with global issues that teens face including anything from relationships to making it through the day. Scott Rowell, the lead guitarist of the group, is heavily influenced by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and others from the golden age of rock guitarists. Amongst this eclectic blend of music, Gavin Good holds the band together with clever and solid bass lines. Put it all together, and you have a young, talented rock group that creates catchy music for both younger and older audiences.
The band is in the midst of putting together their first CD release recorded and produced by Phil Plakson at Liquid Ghost Studios. In Your Eyes, a hard-hitting track on the upcoming album, yields lots of distortion and heavy guitar riffs that are accented by melodic vocals making a catchy and heavy song, which brings out the bands darker side. Punk anthem, Here I Am Again is fast but doesnt lose touch of virtuosity when it comes to Rowells guitar solos and Corteses intricate drum fills. It Got to Me displays Shermans song writing at its best with a clean upbeat sound, emotional storytelling lyrics, and the most memorable melody brought forth on the CD. The rest of the album doesnt fall short of any of the songs mentioned, and explores many different realms ranging from cleaner tones, to ska, and even a little funk.

Hello there, what's up? I've been out of touch with most of my friends, lately, and individually sending this to each one would take all day. So, pardon my use of the mass comment, but I'd very much love to hear from you! Have a great day. Always, Colin.
