Uncle Plum is a talented, hardworking band from Rochester, NY. In this age of DIY computer generated music, these four guys are a retro classic...featuring quality songs, great hooks, relatable stories, and tasteful musicianship. The band's instantly memorable melodies will be stuck in your head for days, leaving you humming along...even after the last notes of the album have stopped playing. Although the Shine On CD is grounded in a straight-ahead Rock/Pop sound, each individual track creates a different stylistic identity, while still retaining the Uncle Plum signature sound of Mike Gladstone's slick & fiery guitars, Paul Akers' melodic & lively bass lines, and Joe Lana's groove-oriented & dynamic beats. Lead singer Elvio Fernandes is a formidable presence in every song, expressing himself with a wide-range of vocal acrobatics...from subtle, spoken nuances to wicked wailing...he might be the best singer you've never heard of. Take a listen and let the killer music of Uncle Plum...Shine On!
Check Out The Music:
Modern Rock fans will immediately want to check out the opening track Shine On, which has been described as The Foo Fighters meet Matchbox Twenty, be sure to also check out the contagious background vocal arrangement and sick guitar solo. Any Sound keeps the intensity rolling with its pulsating melodic rock, reminiscent of Daughtry.
Breaking up has never sounded so vividly painful...or catchy as on the piano-driven, bluesy-pop ballad, If I Can't, while the John Mayer influenced album closer, Second Chance, takes the story one step further when you find someone who has...everything.
Fans of The Goo Goo Dolls, Snow Patrol, and The Gin Blossoms will gravitate to the upbeat Rock/Pop of So Blind, Ghost, and Place. Then take a trip back to the ‘70s for the band's remake of the classic tune, Everything I Own, Bread never rocked this hard!
Check your volume level for the high-intensity tune, Ten Steps, as the haunting bass and vocal intro gives way to crunchy guitars chugging underneath soaring vocals. Anyone who listens to track five will be able to relate to their own, Stephanie, in this energetic, upbeat rocker. Beware...this song contains an unexpected closing blast of Prog/Metal/Fusion!
