Electric Valley

Review By Cross Roads Music Magazine Hot Damn, we've hit a speed bump in the tunnels of time and got stuck inside a bong! SSF has to be the most authentic stoner metal band since Trouble or St. Vitus, right down to the bellbottoms and pilgrims hat. Easily digestible for older burners who already took the trip as well as those ready to blast off, this doob-burning magnum opus puts 13 choice cuts into your bowl. This had better be on vinyl. It's like The Sword are humping Nazareth's leg while on DMT. Solos, righteous vocals, whah-abuse and probably some other flavors too. I would recommend this album to all of you who wish to make your girlfriends clothes fall off. Very high grade. Check out Christian, Window and I, Master By Jeff Barnes for fullmetalhippie.com Electric Valley, the third release from Stone Soul Foundation, delivers first class hard driving blues groove riff-heavy rock with the vocals to match. These are the kind of songs you want to hear on your city's rock station. If you like bands such as Godsmack, Black Sabbath, Alice In Chains, or Guns N Roses you will like Stone Soul Foundation. SSF has their own sound and style that will fit very well next to the aforementioned bands in your CD/MP3 collection. The opening track Sidewalker is a fast bluesy rocker and the second track Christian, a scathing social critique, is a hooky mid-tempo grind akin to Pantera or Sabbath. The title track Electric Valley is a funky rocker that may remind the listener of Thin Lizzy's Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy the Weed with some southern rock flavor as well. Track 4, Ain't No Mystery is another great up tempo rock anthem and track 5, A Song About You, slows it down and grinds it out. Track 6, Window, changes gears to a slow rock ballad that shows off the exceptional vocals of Sean Muldoon as well as the writing of guitarist Jeff Wiggins. Electric Valley maintains it's energy for tracks Mountain Of Time, Next Flight, and Gonna Try, slows down for They Are Me, then jumps back to full power for the final track I Master, another great rock hippie anthem. If you like the genres of hard rock, southern rock, stoner/hippie rock, and/or heavy groove rock, you will want to own Stone Soul Foundation's latest CD Electric Valley. Review By Gabriel for Aristcrazia Italian Webzine The Stone Soul Foundation have been around for almost a decade, probably at home in the States, will also have a good following, but it is my first run into 'Electric Valley' had never heard of sin, I was missing a very good band. This second disc of the formation of Syracuse arrives at a distance of five years from the publication of the debut 'Into The Flames', the biography speaks of five musicians who have a wide range of influences that in fact this is seen in the eleven tracks (most two 'radio edit' of the fifth and eleventh song) that draw from acts such as Black Sabbath, BLS, Alice In Chains (among many), in addition to feel comfortable exploring the area hard rock / funk classic and do not necessarily conditioned and packaged in dark shade. The sound is engaging, have created a pretty explosive mixture, there are overwhelming the pieces for a lively look that characterizes them ('Side Walker', 'Electric Valley,' 'Is not No Mystery,' 'Mountain Of Time'), songs that gap in the radio circuit for the chorus that gets in the head ('Christian' that carry the words, then a picture is not so far from a reality that applies to many 'followers' of this style of thinking: 'You Call Yourself a Christian, yet 'you're quick to judge. You call yourself a Christian, you still hold a grudge. Yo call yourself a Christian, you boast of your faith. Hypocrisy in the name of the holy ghost '), usability Mixed aggressive charge ('Song About You' and 'Gonna Try') and the ability to touch the strings of the listener most emotionally sweet ('Window' and 'They Are', the second is pleasant to hear the organ lines offered by Josh Sularski). It 's a strong proof how sweet, compositionally elegant but not 'prissy' in the way, the tracks more often enriched by the work of the two six-s
