“Rain” is easily the radio single from this album. Containing all the great sounds that classic rock brings combined with current music sensibilities, the tune fly's between driving music and a more ethereal chorus which modern music fans love. Smartly written and executed it packs an emotional punch while still maintaining the bands ethic of bringing the hard rock to the fore. Sure to be an instant hit for the band I expect to see BPC making a major impact very quickly.
.“Ledfoot” is one of those songs that makes you want to be screaming down the highway at 140 miles an hour with the top down, wind blowing, and the heat hot on your tail. Electric, eclectic, and a beat that drives this song at high octane speeds will make you jump straight up out of your seat !! If you can't like this song you don't know what Rock 'n Roll is supposed to sound like. This is simple double-barreled dynamite exploding in your face. Easily the song that sells this band, it is my personal favorite and one I will be enjoying for years to come. An instant classic. Make no mistake, it's time to get your ass up and do the Ledfoot Boogie !!!
With only four electrifying songs here this CD will leave you wanting more immediately. I am anxiously awaiting a second release already and this album just came out !! So lets take a look at this cast of characters.
On guitars we have Australia's own Tim Deq. A great guitarist with a sloppy style that hits all the right notes yet has that out of control sound that makes Rock 'n Roll what it's supposed to be. Loud, Exciting, and Driven. Classic old-school sensibilities drives his playing along with a style that Mark Bolan would appreciate. This IS what raw Rock guitars are supposed to sound like !!
Jake Strasheim is pure gold on vocals. Sounding like he is belting these tunes from a mountaintop while maintaining a distinctive style to his singing makes him a very powerful voice for this ban As soulful and raw as a Rod Stewart or Chris Robinson his voice conveys that feeling of energy and excitement that Rock demands of its singers. Vocally punching thru these tunes Jake has captured something magical in his technique making him a unique vocalist yet still retaining a familiarity people will love.
Driving this machine along is Manny Narkrong on bass and Josh Betschart on drums. A pretty awesome pairing here that creates explosive beats and driving rhythms all while maintaining melodic sensibilities to the music. Switching between classic rock styles and more modern sounds they have created an original and yet familiar feel to the tunes presented here. Knowledgeable in Blues, Rock, and Modern music they are able to utilize all these styles to the best effect with this material.
