  • Bio

    ........ is very much alive... But you wont hear it on the radio". There is another sound, with a kind of music as distant from the cities commercial center cranks out as to be from a different planet. It thrives in the communitys nook and crannies like a cluster of quietly waiting wild animals in the shadow of those cultivated household pets that flaunt their colors on radio stations from coast to coast. 16 Bones is the solo project of David "Sailor" Bryant along with being the singer/songwriter of Louisville, Kentucky's 'Surviving Thalia', and former vocalist of 'My Own Victim.' .. .. ..While each project has been decisively different for Sailor, 16 Bones seems to have been born from the most remote of all dark wooded locations. Wherever you may find cracks and crevices of a wooden front porch, you'll find 16 Bones. With an impressive array of acoustic & string instruments, the 16 Bones sound is layered with deep, dark, tranquil like lyrics & harmonies that seem perfect for watching a stormy night in the dark. It has been said that this project painfully displays songs of suffering, struggle, confusion and the realms of the spiritual world without any reservation. 16 Bones debut release "The sad and infinate confessions of the lonely and forgotten" is now complete and is available @ all 16B shows and in Ear X Tacy Records. (www.earx-tacy.com). ..

    ..!!! Start Code To Apply Top Banner !!!!.. ...... ...... .. Custom top banner code by Eileen.. .. .. .. .. ...... ...... ..!!! End Code To Apply Top Banner !!!.. ...... ...... .. What's not to love about these acoustic, down-home Kentucky-bred rockers? Sure, it's not brutal metal nor does it deafen you like most rock bands do, but they do have some things that make for an interesting listening experience even to a metalhead such as myself. One thing is David "Sailor" Bryant, a longtime Louevil metal veteran who sang for hardcore metal bands My Own Victim, Surviving Thalia and Caldera. Sailor's metal voice was always cool (especially when he took over the vocal duties in MOV), but I really think he has finally found his true musical calling in the Kentucky redneck rock genre he now embraces with such fervor. .. The band has four guitarists, one bassist and one drummer. Most of these guys are metalheads trying something new, which is cool. I myself have played metal for years and I just got tired of the heaviness all the time. .. 16 Bones just recorded 16 very good songs at Sailor's house. The CD is called The sad and infinite confessions of the lonely and forgotten. "Weary Bones" has some cool old timey "Oh brother where art thou" bluesy leads over the strumming, and the vocals are cool, but I don't know if I like the heavier vocals added. They sound a bit distorted. The harmonica solo was sweet, though. The rest of the vocals in the song were fine except for the distorted parts. "Way Back Home" is a ballad that has some nice alternate picking in it with a flowing chorus. The violin part was nice, too, but a bit low in the mix: I was straining to hear it! Dammit, violins are cool. Turn that chit up. Some good guitar solos, too. Think I like the opening riff to "Meant For More" the best so far. This is my favorite song by 16 Bones. It just has that melody that grabs your soul and sends shivers up your arm. Simple but effective. Good lyrics in this song, maybe some of Sailor's best. I'm impressed. .. I asked Sailor what songs I should write about, and he almost passed this one up! Dude. Lay off the dope! I'm just kidding folks, Sailor is goodly and wholesome and would never partake in such activities! Drinking? Yes. .. "Out of your mind" wasn't mentioned either, yet I like it a lot. It has a big-time Days Of The New feel to it. Good riffage, though. "Wounded Knees" is another of 16 Bones better songs. It's genuine Kentucky redneck, stompin' music. You expect a washboard, a whiskey jug with xxx on it, a washtub bass and other hillbilly musical devices to be implemented at various points. You do get plenty of acoustic guitar, both leads and strumming galore, as well as some nice harmonica, violin and keyboards. Sailor's vocals sound best in "Dust Them Bones", "Meant For More" and "Weary Bones." This recording sounds good. I wish I could record this good in my crib! Listening to this CD was a leisurely ride with 16 Bones, and I like what I hear. .. They must be doing something right, because the band is preparing to go on tour with Days Of The New, starting on May 7, when they head up to Illinois and Northern Indiana to kick off the "Bone/Days" Tour! I bet they have a blast and get a great response. Opening for Days Of The News is a perfect gig for them. Hopefully good things will come of it. .. .. ..Eddy Metal.., Columnist, "News from the pitt." .. ..Louisville Music News, April 2010 .. ..www.louisvillemusic.net .... .. .. .. ..
