BILLY BALDWIN: LOOK BUSY
JIM ALLFORD·THURSDAY, JULY 9, 2020·READING TIME: 2 MINUTES
Meet BILLY BALDWIN, a Neo-Grunge band, that met at Berklee Music of College in 2015. Their avant-garde of rock and roll are what listeners should expect from them. There is, no doubt, that all the band members jell well together.
The band are: GRAHAM ALBRIGHT: Guitar, vocals: DAVIDSON WESTON: Bass, vocals: KAMEN ROSS: Keys, vocals: ANDREW RAHM: Percussion and CAM CLEMENTS: Drums.
This 10 song CD was Mixed and Mastered by Zach Weeks.
CLUB CREATURE kicks off this CD with quite a interesting intro that will have you wondering what is going on. Then the band finds their groove which you’ll be into and be singing along with them. Superb song, to say the least!
GUSTO [SUBJECT NO. 9] brings out their funky/jazz side of them with a dose of Zappa. Crank this one up loud! This is a must song to hear!
BY THE BY has a great drum intro as the band plays off beat and then, BAM, you’re in a groove. I love how the tempo’s of this song is all over the place, but the band is tight and don’t miss one beat.
LEONARD COHEN’S BREAKFAST is a epic song, as the band just takes you away on their ‘own trip’ and you just have to be ready for the ride. I must admit, seems SPARKS had a bit of influence on the band.
DO THE BROUHAHA really fools you with their intro thinking it’s just a straightforward rock song, but then they throw so many curve balls in the song. You’ll hooked on them by just wondering what they will come up with next.
This band is quite a GEM and please check them out whenever you have a chance. Also, a BIG THANK YOU for KAMEN ROSS for being in touch. You can find this amazing on:www.billybladwinband.com, Facebook, Bandcamp, Instagram and You Tube. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [www.steelnotesmagazine.com]
