California

So many bands clutter the landscape, but there are a few that stand out because they somehow manage to cleverly meld tone, groove and story together and stamp it as their own. It's like the longer you've been around, the more time has allowed influence to seep in and do it's work. The by-product of all of this can be pretty interesting. Rock music has morphed into a lot of different things, but it seems that loud, brash, spirited guitar rock is a forgotten art form. Blue Factory has refreshingly stayed on this path of sonic goodness, which is surprising because there are only three guys behind this giant sound. Blue Factory's latest effort, California, on Kranepool records is a perfect example of this art form. It doesn't hurt either that all of this buzzing, bashing & booming is greatly cared for by legendary producer, Barry Breckenridge. Come hear Blue Factory stick with a forgotten art form and amplify it even more...
