Influences
The Pixies, Fugazi, Radiohead, The Church, Nirvana, Cave In, The Rolling Stones, The Cure, Nada Surf, U2, David Bowie, the 90's alternative wave, being under the influence...
Sounds Like
the lovechild of 70's classic rock, 80's new wave, and 90's alternative, weened on lacker finish... a little bit of all of the influences that we have listed.
With their influences spanning 4 decades, with genres abound, i give you Voyageur. The trio's sound is an edgy mix of gritty alternative hooks, classic rock flare, and just a dab of new wave soul. Keeping a contemporary approach on music, the group weilds an inventive, yet uniform, mix of energetic rock
you can shake your ass to, as well as dramatic, atmospheric soundscapes and heart-felt balladry.
Stemming from former outfits, such as Ahankara and Eleventh Symphony, Robert Weil (guitar, keyboards and vocals), Russell Vance (bass), and Joseph Adkins (drums) have been writing and touring together since 1998. Carrying a ten-year tradition of independent releases, booking, and touring regionally with bands such as A Day In The Life (now, Hawthorne Heights) and A Study In Her, the band strives to give back to the music community at least one grain of what they've gotten out of it.
With now, a decade of history behind them, Voyageur ushers in a ground work of songs with their new, self-titled full length album! Keep an eye out for it, soon on itunes and all other major mp3 sites, as they continue independently booking, promoting, and playing out!
PRESS:
On The Self-Titled Album:
"(With) their live show as an extension of their music, the listener feels he/she is in a drug-induced euphoria, with stripped-down guitar and bass work personalities that keep the music vibrant and colorful, (yet) maintaining instrumental intricacies that keep the listener interested and intrigued.
-Kevin Warwick, CityBeat Magazine, August 16, 2006
"Voyageur on this CD are a good listen. I have thoroughly enjoyed it... Heavy delay; I likes. Thumping, upfront bass lines; Oh yeah! I definitely likes! Introspective, dreamlike somberness; I likes also. Falls somewhere in-between STELLASTARR*, THE EDITORS and INTERPOL.... In fact, my first few listens of this hit me like a demo of sorts for a band like Interpol without a second guitar or keyboard. It's like those pieces of Voyageur COULD exist (and proly do) in an alternative universe... But here in Cincinnati, a stripped down barebacked threesome like Voyageur is the way to go on MANY different
levels. This is a solid release and I appreciate the effort the band took rather than a e-mail saying "Check out our MPs Dude." I spun this disc often and frequently. Im interested to see where Voyageur takes this thing and will keep a watchful eye on them.

I can’t believe you won’t let me add a comment in HTML! I totally wanted to spam you with some dating website or at least the latest herbal Viagra. Bummer!
JK. ;)
Anyway, I just want to network, so if this is junk to you, PLEASE delete this comment. I added you as a friend because I’m out finding musicians who sell CDs at shows, but don’t want to get stuck ordering 1,000 of them in order to turn a profit per CD or just to get a decent-quality product. I produce hi-quality, lo-cost, lo-quantity CDRs for bands and musicians with those needs. Saw your profile, thought it might be a service you could use.
Here’s the raw info: http://www.shortruncdrs.com , $3.00/CD, minimum order is 10 CDs; completely retail-ready-- full-color, shrink-wrapped, etc..
That’s it. I know how crappy it is to get unsolicited advertisements for junk, so I hope this isn’t junk to you. I don’t want to waste your time, so –sincerely!-- THANK YOU for your time!

madlibs from 4 a.m. last night.....we did amazing!!!! Heres to the lactating ones, the titties, the guns, the balls. The shaggy pegs in the clutty holes. The ones who fornicating things differently. Theyre not fond of prolaxed rectums, and they have no aerola with zits for the status quo. You can cumming them, slit with them, exude them, tickle or spanking them. About the only thing you cant do is flogging them. Because they choking dongs. They donging. They docking. They suck. They bite. They lick. They fuck. They gushing the membrane forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you squirting at an empty bonch and see a work of bean? Or sit in horse and fornicate a butthole thats never been shat? Or fuck at a red peanut butter and see a mouth on wheels? We make nipples for these kinds of people. While some may see them as the orgasms, we see pickle. Because the ones who are moist enough to change the minor labia, are the ones who slurpped.

To celebrate the release of my new horror/dark fantasy short fiction collection NEEDLES & SINS, I've made the title story of the book available online. I've posted "Needles & Sins," a dark vignette about the immortality of sin on my website as a sample of the book. Here's the teaser the publisher posted about the book's stories:
Roses scented with bitter deception, Oracles redolent in hidden redemption, a body-mod-obsessed ingenue with an amputee fetish and a demon gone soft on a bitter angel. Dreamcatchers, an alternate Nativity with a pimp God and a non-compliant Mary, Stupid Bitch the three-legged cat and the secret explanation of how Germany almost won the war with the devil on their side. These are just a few of the provocative sets in these 19 stories rife with "Needles & Sins"...
I hope you'll check out the story and the book; I think NEEDLES & SINS includes some of the best short stories I've written over the past decade. Read "Needles & Sins" at www.johneverson.com/needlesandsins.htm.
