In spring 2009, The Stormalongs recorded their debut album "Fell Like Bricks", produced and mixed by legendary indie-rocker Dale Morningstar at Toronto’s equally legendary Gas Station Studio, and Mastered by Noah Mintz at Lacquer Channel Mastering. “Fell Like Bricks” is an epic, powerful, electric beauty of melodic song-craft: entrancing rhythms, distorted freak-out shape-shifting guitars, growling fuzz-bass and human voices, wrapped in heavy atmospheric beauty. The songs are deep and resonant, pounding and tranquil at the same time. Recording with Morningstar at his renowned island studio gave the band an inspiring setting in which to fully capture the energy and power of their sound, resulting in a debut album that is striking and majestic.
The Stormalongs are a band formed by Colin James Gibson (vocals/guitar), Adam Morello (guitar/vocals), Nick Gaiser (drums), and Matt Thompson (bass/vocals) in 2007 in Toronto, Canada. They play distorted, melodic, atmospheric rock music with a good dose of volume. Their songs combine raw sonic force, textural lushness, and lyrical depth with classic rock song-craft. They have a unique and exciting chemistry that comes from years of musical collaboration. Their performances are electric and compelling, and have been described as 'powerful', 'blistering' and 'adrenaline-filled'.
“Fell Like Bricks” the first album by The Stormalongs, is available for sale on CDBaby.com and iTunes. They gig regularly at Toronto’s best venues, and are planning a tour in 2009.
Hey guys, hope to make the show tomorrow. Be at the Horseshoe March 18 to see and meet The Decade of Sleep, it's the band that almost played Clinton's with you and Luz Atomica around this time last year. They're ready, they rock, and you'd be wicked on a bill together.
Hey guys, sorry I had to bolt right after the set but you put on a good one and it was great to see you in a bigger venue than usual... really gave your sound a chance to come up for air... ACC next?
That was a great set a The Annex Wreckroom. A blast of adrenaline-pumping rock, majestic riffs pouring forth, majestic and blistering, oozing of attitude. For those about to rock--we salute you.
Hey Guys ! We're gigging on Halloween too, and I can't wait for Cobbledick to get its act together in 2010 ! Aaaaaah ! (We're also playing Wrong Bar on Oct 30 if you're interested :-) See ya soon ...
That was a great set at Rancho Relaxo. An energetic speed of light, supercharged optimism, frenzied music that captures that high-octane spirit of that true, raw, rock and roll sound. Raucous. Powerful. Pounding. Onwards and upwards for the band.
Heeeeeey guys (and mat *cough*) show on the 17 will kick fucking A, I seriously Like the album, dont stop doing WHATEVER you guys are doing, because your CLEARLY doing it right.
