RAZ REVIEW

http://jpsmusicblog.blogspot.com/2016/06/cd-review-new-music-from-raz-band-mj12.html

Gonzo Multimedia is celebrating over 30 years of The RAZ band with a new "best of" release. Michael RAZ Rescigno has been a part of the music industry for the better part of 40 years and has played alongside some of the best musicians in the genre. Raz's style brings together punk, new wave and British blues to create a powerfully addictive sound that is sure to grab your attention.

The new 19-song release begins with the New York punk-style of "The Boy," before shifting over to the new wave rock of "Time Marches On." Former Badfinger guitarist Joey Molland lights up "Back In The Shadows" with his electrifying lead guitar and Joe Vitale (The Eagles) helps out on the seventies-style hard rock of "Tough Love." The full force of The RAZ Band is felt on the energetic punk outlet "Buck It." Stu Cook (Creedence Clearwater Revival) joins in the fun on the eighties-sounding, keyboard ballad "I Said To Myself, Self." The collection closes with a couple of live songs recorded at Madame Wong's West in Los Angeles in 1984. The small club feel works to RAZ's advantage blasting their way through the quickness of "The Times Together" and bookending this release with their debut single "The Boy" performed live.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
