ROCK SUGAR Reimaginator
Indie Release
Rating: 10
out of 10
Reviewed by: Jen Conrad
 OK, this is
quite an innovative rock band! Lead vocalist Jess Harnell,
guitarist/bassist, vocalist Chuck Duran and drummer/keyboardist/vocalist
Alex Track have carved themselves a niche that no one can
match...and perhaps on that no one has thought of before! I can tell you
that when I heard about this band, and what they do I had a “WTF
moment”! But when I checked them out, all that is replaced by a very
profound “Holy Shit moment”! So let me try to describe...imagine some of
your favorite 80s tunes being literally merged together into a new
song...still with original lyrics, original melodies, but a whole new
arrangement and a brand new vibe! For example, take “Enter Sandman” by
Metallica and “Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey. Don’t seem to go
together? Think again...Rock Sugar takes the best of
both tunes and seamlessly combines them into one kick-ass rock tune
called “Don’t Stop the Sandman.” There are 13 of these babies on this
album, and each is as imaginative as the previous! I’d also like to
state for the record that Jess Harnell can sing to me
any damn day of the week!!! His voice is PHENOMENAL! But Alex
Track and Chuck Duran are equally as
talented...they’re incredible musicians and near as I can tell, can play
damn near anything! This is one of the most enjoyable albums from start
to finish that I’ve heard in a long time! This album is a MUST HAVE for
80s music fans and for fans who dig awesome music and killer vocals!
You’ve never heard your favorite 80s tunes sound like this! These boys
have some serious talent and it shows throughout the entire album! Oh,
PLEASE, PLEASE come play the east coast!!! For a totally new classic
rock experience, check out Reimaginator! See if you can name
all the tunes! Seriously great album...VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! Head
over to www.rocksugarband.com
and grab your copy. While you’re there, be sure to read the band
bios...HILARIOUS!!!!
Note: Rock Sugar has added a
bassist named Johnny Five (not to be confused with
John 5) since the recording of this album. All I can say is...OH MY!!!
