“Undertow is this damage that
we all have in our lives that tries
to pull us under and drown us,”
explains Tom Kanach, a veteran
of the Jersey Shore music scene
with popular 80s/90s bands Mis-
chief and Wells of Souls. The
Monmouth County native re-
cently released his first record-
ing of new music in more than
two decades with the absolutely
brilliant, Undertow.
The record is an incredibly am-
NJ STAGE 2017 - Vol. 4 No. 6
bitious piece of work that con-
tains 30 songs that tell the story
of a day in the life of the protag-
onist. It’s a day filled with pain,
hopes and dreams, loss and re-
gret. The songs evoke memo-
ries of British Invasion bands and
The Connells, a wonderful band
from the 80s, while featuring
tight songwriting reminiscent
of songwriters like Buddy Holly
who could tell entire stories in
songs under three minutes.
