Sean Brown- Ready Fire Aim- Released November 2007- Ready Fire Aim reviews: “Fans of smart catchy and driving rock may have a new favorite with Sean Brown” -Curran Faris, The Uniter. “Though Brown is a solid picker it’s his voice-which bears echoes of pixies weirdo Frank Black- that really comes through on the lilting Oh Life and radio friendly Only Human.” David Schmeichel-Winnipeg Sun.
“Authenticity is a delicate art.” 4 stars Nick MacMahon- The Manitoban.
“Sean Brown has dumped the punk styling of his former musical life in favour of the six-string and tuneful songwriting.” Rob Williams – The Free Press.
Sean Brown’s self produced debut album Ready Fire Aim is fused with raw, honest and driven rock songs featuring Sean’s dynamic guitar style, setting a rhythmic back drop for his profound and exposing lyrics. Recorded in Winnipeg, Manitoba “Ready Fire Aim” stays true to the indie rock pathos of minimal instrumentation and live off the floor recordings.
All 11 of the original tracks .. Fire Aim” ring with guitar-fuelled conviction from the energized album opener Only Human (featuring Stephen Carroll of The Weakerthans), to the indie rockers Last Chance & Here and Never Gone which capture the forceful urgency of Sean’s guitar style. Sean Brown’s debut also explores the more restrained & introspective, exposing his prophet’s sensibility with the gentle leanings of tracks like A Better Way & Disruptions.
Sean has been calling Winnipeg home for the last two years and is fortunate enough to have found this worm and nurturing environment in which to base his musical adventures. Backed by some of Winnipeg’s finest; Ethan Osland
(Burn the 8 track), Steve Lagimodiere and Todd Suggitt, Sean Brown’s eclectic mix of Tunes has been compared to the likes of Frank Black, The Tragically hip, Jeff Buckley & the Hoodoo Gurus. With Sean’s diverse musical interest, it is no surprise to hear several decades of punk, Blues and guitar rock influences on his sturdy debut.
With cross Canada tour plans for 2008 Sean plans to get into the hearts and minds of music lovers from coast to coast. Keep an ear to the grown as “Ready Fire Aim” spreads like wild fire across Canada.
