| .. CDBABY LINK for THE STARTERS: The Starters LP --
Untitled! Formed in Los Angeles, The Starters was created by three Motown-obsessed indie rockers. The question they were always asking themselves was: "Where is the soul in today's music?" It's one that will be answered on their self-titled debut album, a collection of songs combining the dirtiness of home-cooked rock and roll with the stylish melodies of the 60's Motown sound. The Starters is comprised of two brothers from the East Coast. John , the smooth and commanding singer, strums his vintage guitars with abandon while crooning about loves lost and yet to be. Paul , the dramatic basher of old-school Ludwig drums, rolls through Benny Benjamin pickups with a volume that might skip the needle on your parents' 45s. Then there's Blakely from the Midwest. The shaven-headed Fender bassist pumps lines straight out of James Jamerson's school of funk. This noisy rock trio is stirred together with a rhythm and blues horn section, some main ingredients like saxophone, trumpet and trombone. |
