"For a debut record 'There And Back Again' from rock and roll's new messiahs, WISER TIME, is as good as it gets. Few young bands have embraced classic rock as fully as Wiser Time. Their debut album features a bar-band stomp rooted in the back catalogs of the Rolling Stones, Free, the Faces, any number of early-'70s hard rockers. This is real rock and roll. This is not an image. This is music. Wiser Time take their influences of the best of the early 70s scene. Lead singer Carmen Sclafani encapsulates the 70s rock lead singer vibe. Summoning a bit of Steve Marriot (Humble Pie), Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), Paul Rodgers (Free/Bad Company) and Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) with each song, Sclafani takes the lead-singer image and idea back to its roots. Backing Sclafani up are a group of musicians that are simply amazing............There And Back Again proves that good, old-fashioned rock and roll had not died. WISER TIME are here to bring it back to life."
- The Atomic Chaser, THE DRP/All Access Magazine
"The 50 minutes of rock music found on this release is good enough to be added to a time capsule to remind people in the future just what real rock music should sound like!"
- C.W Ross, Indie Stop
ALL FOR ONE (2008)
If the studio album, "There And Back Again," introduced the world to the talents of Wiser Time frontman Carmen Sclafani in the fall of 2006, then the newest full-length album, "ALL FOR ONE," is an explosive rock-n-roll notice that the band has finally arrived.
"This is such an important time in history, and so much is happening both culturally and spiritually," says Sclafani. "We really wanted to write about what we see happening in everyday life, including our own lives, and try to create something raw and inspiring."
"ALL FOR ONE" is the result of that musical journey, which takes fans through the struggles and joys of modern-day life and love. Written, produced and performed by the power trio from NJ/NY, and helped out by a small group of friends; Sclafani, drummer Steve Decker and bassist Jon Cornell come together in rousing musical display that's both honest and powerful, and reminiscent of the sounds from the great bands of the late 60s and early 70s.
"I think that now is a time where people really need to look inside themselves and try to come together for things that are bigger than ourselves."
Wiser Time comes into their own, and attempts to inspire us to come along with their newest release...ALL FOR ONE
