After SXSW, it will be recording time. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We're going to be renting a house and buying a bear skin rug. We'll see </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">how it will turns out.

No joke, I've listened to this record dozens of times this year and I've managed to see them three times over the last three months. This is the kind of band I would be willing to drive distances to see. Well here's why; there's six songs (nearly a full-length) of quality on this EP. Pick up this album and fall for Son of the Sun's modern and throwback fusion. The tracks are romantic photographs for your music-loving mind.

The six songs that make up this release work well to create one strong, though short, release. The variety in the songs is one of the reasons why I include this CD in this list. Son of the Sun offers up some of the best indie rock this year with their Almost Not There CD. This is one CD I wish was longer than it is.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

The musical aesthetic throughout <a href="http://www.sonofthesunmusic.com/"><em>Almost Not There</em></a> maintains a level of consistency from song to song, creating a streamlined experience rather than a collection of tracks thrown together under one name.<br />
<br />
In addition to their well-conceived retro sound, <a href="http://www.sonofthesunmusic.com/">Son of the Sun</a> plays with dissonance and harmony, a theme that can be heard both literally and figuratively in the music throughout the record (major and minor tonalities intermingling in “As Far As Lucy” or a slow, more morose song such as “Fruit Jar” injected with a buoyant bridge). This is also expressed lyrically in “10,000” as singer Zak Ward proclaims “I wanna lay down, I wanna record my dissonance” over upbeat music in the background. This juxtaposition creates an experience that stirs disparate emotions in the listener.<br />
<br />
The arrangements are also kept to a minimum, though they produce strong and variant moods in each song. An important contributor to this is the sincerity of the lyrics, and Ward performs them dynamically with strength, vulnerability and candor.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.sonofthesunmusic.com/"><em>Almost Not There</em></a> provides a snapshot of a band that has a well developed sound and thoughtfully crafted songs, prompting the notion that contrary to the title of their EP, <a href="http://www.sonofthesunmusic.com/">Son of the Sun</a> has arrived.<br />

We <i>love</i> this band. Part of what impresses us most about these guys is the fact that they're not playing for any particular crowd...nor are they playing any particular specific genre of music. Rather than ape what's currently popular and/or using the latest sounds by the latest crap sellout artists...the fellows in <b>Son of the Sun</b> are doing what they do best: simply playing good music that induces great feelings. There's nothing cute or ultra-artsy here...no weird sounds darting out of nowhere...no intense physical images...none of the usual trappings that make most bands sound <i>exactly</i> like most other bands. Using only the bare essentials these guys manage to do everything they set out to do...mainly because they write great damn classic songs that will stand the test of time. Only six tracks here (<i>dammit!</i>)...but they're all credible and they all <i>cook</i>. Kickass cuts include "As Far As Lucy," "Henry's England," and "Don't Worry." This is short (only about 23 minutes' worth of music)...but it will just <i>have</i> to satisfy folks until the next full-length is released. We can't wait. TOP PICK.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4601281296249304701.post-46326128864118814182011-08-02T09:42:00.001-04:002011-08-02T09:45:45.585-04:00EP Review on Awaiting The Flood<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"></span></div><div class="post" style="float: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; width: 610px;"><div class="post" id="post-7613" style="float: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; width: 610px;"><h1 style="font-size: 26px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><a href="http://awaitingtheflood.com/son-of-the-sun-almost-not-there/" rel="bookmark" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; color: black; font-size: 26px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 30px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 10px; text-decoration: none;" title="Permanent Link to Son of the Sun: Almost Not There">Son of the Sun: Almost Not There</a></h1><div style="line-height: 20px;"><small style="font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;"><a href="http://awaitingtheflood.com/category/artist-music/album-reviews/" rel="category tag" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #154a7f; font-weight: 700; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;" title="View all posts in Album Reviews">ALBUM REVIEWS</a>, <a href="http://awaitingtheflood.com/category/artists/" rel="category tag" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #154a7f; font-weight: 700; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;" title="View all posts in Artists">ARTISTS</a> — BY <a href="http://awaitingtheflood.com/author/larryvanderpool/" rel="author" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #154a7f; font-weight: 700; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;" title="Posts by Larry Vanderpool">LARRY VANDERPOOL</a> ON JULY 27, 2011 8:37 AM </small></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;"><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;">White Bluff, Nashville, and Middle Tennessee music aficionados, Son of the Sun will officially release their latest EP Son of the Sun: Almost Not There today (July 26, 2011) on the I Blame Yoko Music label. This album is the follow up to their first full length LP The Happy Loss (2010). The new EP and its collection of six songs see no stylistic departure from Son of the Sun’s formula for producing melodic soft edged rock music. Think well written Lo-Fi, psychedelic, nostalgia rock similar to Oasis, Blur, or The Traveling Wilburys. Despite the nostalgic and familiar qualities of Son of the Sun: Almost Not There their sound never comes off as trite or a mere imitation. In fact, the sound is genuine and the bands artistic integrity remains intact as the album seamlessly combines classic and contemporary sounds and sensibilities.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;">The EP’s first track “As Far as Lucy” is an up tempo guitar driven tune that rocks and slurs its way into your consciousness with a brazen cockiness that will have listeners hooked from the first notes. The vocal performance on the album’s second track “10,000” has all the swagger and smoothness of a Roy Orbison or Carl Perkins song. Furthermore, the pessimism and darkness of the lyrics are juxtaposed against the up tempo rhythm and confident vocal delivery on the song. “Fruit Jar” is another stand out song that for the most part moves along in ¾ time, until the psychedelic sounding bridge and chorus’s distort the tune ala the Beatles “Sgt. Peppers.” The song almost sounds like Syd Barret attempting to perform a country tune after dropping a large dose of LSD or mescaline.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;">Zak Ward, Joseph Stocker, Jeremy Franklin, Steve Matthews, and Brandon Delmont collectively known as Son of the Sun have made a superb album that is both classic and contemporary. The combination of British pop with American psychedelic-blues based rock sounds works extremely well for this band. Music listeners of many genres including rock, country, pop, blues, and americana will enjoy this album and should not hesitate to add it to their collections. Expect to see a lot more from Son of the Sun in the years to come as this star has just started to burn and from the sound of their new EP they are ready to shine.

The band simply tore it up. This was the finest show I’ve seen OLP offer in the nearly 20 years it has been coming to the Buffalo area.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.357; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Of course, as beautiful as the setting was and as smooth as things progressed throughout the nearly six hours of live music on offer, there was a (small) fly in the ointment. Roughly an hour into OLP’s set, roadies rushed onto the stage, whispered in singer Raine Maida’s ear, and suddenly, everything was on hold. A looming storm —which, by the way, never fully arrived — brought lightning over the Falls, which is a major problem for outdoor gigs powered by megawatt systems.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.357; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Happily, after a half an hour or so, the band returned and seemed to kick things into serious acceleration for the remainder of its set, which went well past the evening’s curfew. Incidentally, it didn’t appear that the threat of lousy weather and a potentially canceled show had urged many, if any, to leave.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.357; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">OLP — singer Maida, guitarist Steven Mazur, bassist Duncan Couts and drummer Jeremy Taggart — rose to prominence in the middle ’90s, peaking in commercial terms with the album “Clumsy.” The Juno-winning group is hardly riding on the strength of its early work, however. It released its most ambitious effort, “Spiritual Machines,” in 2000 and perhaps a career-defining work in 2009’s “Burn Burn Burn.”</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.357; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The band has always been well-loved in Western New York, and Saturday, it was easy to understand why—with Maida’s yearning-inflected vocals leading the way, OLP brings an arena-sized grandiloquence to the stage. At once smart, visceral and well-structured, the group’s sound brings the heaviness of grunge to bear on harmonic schemes akin to those favored by Muse, the Smashing Pumpkins, and “The Bends”-era Radiohead.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.357; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">All of this was in evidence Saturday. Perhaps the two songs that most ably display the parameters of the OLP sound were both performed during the show.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.357; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Is Anybody Home?” is an esoteric ballad centered on Maida’s idiosyncratically compelling vocals; the piece moves through dramatically dynamic sections and is a “power ballad” in the nonpejorative sense of the term. Mazur’s guitar work was a delight here, moving with grace between chiming arpeggios and attitude-driven melodic lines.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.357; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Starseed,” played near the finale, is what we might refer to as “classic” OLP — a soaring vocal melody, image-rich lyrics, odd but addictive chorus hook and incredibly tight interplay between the musicians combine to create gloriously anthemic alt-rock. In this department, OLP has few peers.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.357; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Saturday’s show had much more than OLP to recommend it. A late addition to the bill was legendary rapper and rocker Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, of the seminal outfit RUN-DMC. DMC is on the road in support of a new album, “The Origins of Block Music,” and backed only by a clearly brilliant DJ, he tore up the Falls stage.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.357; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Reprising a collaboration with Sarah McLachlan on the rap-rock hybrid “Just Like Me” — which marries the chorus of Harry Chapin’s “Cat’s in the Cradle” to DMC’s rap and McLachlan’s keening vocal — DMC held the assembled in his tightly clenched fist. He delivered the goods with his own version of RUN-DMC’s gritty “Mary Mary” and did the same with the immortal “It’s Tricky.” DMC’s set felt a little too brief, but it was a real treat.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.357; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Local band Agent Me kicked things off with a strong set of its quirky alt-rock originals, and even early on, the crowd was large and into it.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.357; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Klear belong in an arena, frankly. Led by vocalist Fred Shafer and guitarist Bruce Wojick, the recently reformed Western New York favorite performed like a headliner, treating enthused fans in its native Niagara Falls to an inspired set of soulful hard rock, peaking with a torrid “It’s All on Me.” (The band will open for Alice Cooper and Anvil at the Harbor later this summer.)</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.357; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Son of the Sun offered the finest of the three sets I’ve watched the band perform in recent weeks. Introduced by the evening’s emcee, a DJ from 103.3 the Edge, as the “finest band in Western New York at the moment,” Son of the Sun’s set—blending edgy alternative, garage rock and power-pop — backed up such a claim.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4601281296249304701.post-24030877693153022592011-06-29T21:48:00.000-04:002011-06-29T21:48:06.681-04:00We Listen for You - 10,000 Track of the Day<object height="225" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F805740"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="225" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F805740" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/sonofthesunmusic/sets/almost-not-there">Almost Not There</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/sonofthesunmusic">sonofthesunmusic</a></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4601281296249304701.post-11619296278501210712011-06-19T21:41:00.000-04:002011-06-19T21:41:20.592-04:00DigBoston.com DEFEND YOURSELF!: SON OF THE SUN Interview<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8B2tMwNo5_sm6wM_NaHiO_005zapS1z99_ejRxuru_bDs5Sm-kUaQ0BaiHZ0Ihrxi4e_ZxgXbNAFSiRIrZOyp4-iiOym_RlMIuzgQYm7D9wKJuzyQ_zK_lqmeZ9s_aioqO75t3XdrabFg/s1600/dig.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8B2tMwNo5_sm6wM_NaHiO_005zapS1z99_ejRxuru_bDs5Sm-kUaQ0BaiHZ0Ihrxi4e_ZxgXbNAFSiRIrZOyp4-iiOym_RlMIuzgQYm7D9wKJuzyQ_zK_lqmeZ9s_aioqO75t3XdrabFg/s1600/dig.png" /></a></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, _sans; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

Its sound gets way out there, while remaining relevant and accessible. It's big and bad and beautiful with its multiple layers and dimensions. Yet go and ask guitarist-keyboardist Joseph Stocker and he'll tell you it's really simple.</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">"It really is," Stocker says. "It's simple in the writing. A 12-year-old could play these chords. The instrumentation and the layering and the arrangements and the sounds that are picked, I think is what delivers it in a slightly more... I don't want to say sophisticated, but it's not like a Ramones' song." He pauses for a minute on the phone and clears his throat before pulling a 180.</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">"In actuality the songwriting is like a Ramones' song," he says. "I just think the layers really hide it. But its nuts and bolts - if you write out the chords, it's just three chords."</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.sonofthesunmusic.com/">Son of the Sun</a> and its three chords came together with Stocker and vocalist-guitarist Zak Ward in 2007. Ward was on the left coast, but the two worked via internet.</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">"I would send him instrumentals," says Stocker. "I would write all the music and record all the music and he would write lyrics for them."</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">It's when Ward returned to Buffalo in 2008 that Stocker says things began to flourish. "We put out a 7'' EP and people really liked it," he says, referencing the "Before the After" project. "So we put a band together." From then on the band included Stocker, Ward, guitarist Jeremy Franklin, bassist Steve Matthews, and drummer Brandon Delmont. <a href="http://www.sonofthesunmusic.com/">Son of the Sun</a> played its first show at The Hard Rock Caf� in Niagara Falls, which went over remarkably well.</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">"We were kind of shocked it didn't flop," Stocker says. "So we booked another show and it just snowballed."</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.sonofthesunmusic.com/">Son of the Sun</a> released its first full-length album, "The Happy Loss," (produced by Mike Brown) in 2010.</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">What is both beguiling and intriguing about this band is the blending of influences, almost to the point of anonymity. Where is the sound coming from, exactly? The genres and predecessors to <a href="http://www.sonofthesunmusic.com/">Son of the Sun's</a> wail aren't readily apparent, though Stocker is ready to rattle off a list.</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">"Personally," he says. "I do like older music; 60's stuff, obviously. The Beatles, Dylan, Bowie. But I really love pop like Roy Orbison and doo-wop, The Everly Brothers, stuff like that. Some bands have an immediate retro sound, and I love that kind of stuff. But I love modern records, too, like Wilco and the Flaming Lips and The National. You can really go both ways, you can totally make a lo-fi throwback kind of sound, but we try to blend them both."</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Still, Stocker believes the pursuit of originality may be in vain. "It's a funny thing," he says. "Whenever you get three chords together and it's apparently a new song, really it's a Buddy Holly song. My only rule is, it has to be simple." Simple as in, this band doesn't jam.</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">"Everything's arranged in practice or in recording," says Stocker. "I feel we really don't go too far, we just really try to put a lot of energy and emotion without sounding like ‘American Idol.' We just try to put everything we have into it at the time. We really don't doodle."</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.sonofthesunmusic.com/">Son of the Sun</a> is wrapping up work on its forthcoming CD, tentatively called "Almost Not There." Then the band plans on putting rubber to the asphalt.</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">There are two ways of deciphering a band or predicting its path; listen where it is or listen to where it was. Son of the Son is so steeped in its own sonic elegance that it is perhaps easier to listen to where it could go if given the option to go backwards 10 or 20 years. Stocker hazards a guess.</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">"I don't know, man" he says. "I'd like to have been something off Creation Records. American music was obviously pretty bad until Nirvana. British music was still cool; Oasis, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen. I think it would depend where you lived.

Tanner took time to talk about the history and meaning of Record Store Day.</span></div><div style="font-size: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px rgb(251, 251, 251);"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">What inspired the creation of Record Store Day?</span></i></b></div><div style="font-size: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px rgb(251, 251, 251);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">It started as a copycat holiday from Free Comic Day. Comic sellers wanted draw attention and people to their stores, so they’d have a day where they gave stuff away. Indie record stores saw that – a lot of shops are down the street from each other, or some carry comics, too, and were aware, and wanted to use the idea to help them stand out from their bigger competition – places like Best Buy, Target, and at the time Barnes and Noble and Border’s.</span></div><div style="font-size: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px rgb(251, 251, 251);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Chris Brown at Bull Moose in Portland, Maine [which now has 10 locations] made this his brainchild. Then Criminal Records in Atlanta picked up on it. The first one was real loosey-goosey – labels were contacted and told, “Hey, were gonna do this event – clean out your closets and send us t-shirts, samplers, anything we can give away.”</span></div><div style="font-size: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px rgb(251, 251, 251);"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">There’s so much more to it now – how has it evolved?</span></i></b></div><div style="font-size: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px rgb(251, 251, 251);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">It’s funny and interesting – at first, the message to the public was, “C’mon in and get free stuff.” As it’s grown over four years now, the freebies are fewer and farther between – it’s almost all exclusively-made products for Record Store Day. What started as getting customers in for free stuff now serves to offer them things they want to buy.</span></div><div style="font-size: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px rgb(251, 251, 251);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">A lot of bands and labels now plan special, limited-quantity releases for their fans on Record Store Day – a lot of them are regional, smaller labels, and even the smaller label will get that visibility and help them be placed on level footing with the big guys.</span></div><div style="font-size: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px rgb(251, 251, 251);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Even a local, independent artist like Brian Wheat – he’s putting out a record on his own label, but performing at Record Store Day, so it’s great visibility for local bands – people who might not go out to see live local music will see bands at in-store performances.</span></div><div class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_1612" style="width: 160px;"><a href="http://thegoodneighborhood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/BF-Keepin-it-Local-Record-Store-Day-Set-for-Saturday-wheat-4-11-11.jpg" rel="lightbox[1607]" style="color: #285a86; font-family: Helvetica,'Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-1612" height="150" src="http://thegoodneighborhood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/BF-Keepin-it-Local-Record-Store-Day-Set-for-Saturday-wheat-4-11-11.jpg" style="border-style: none;" title="BF Keepin' it Local - Record Store Day Set for Saturday - wheat - 4-11-11" width="150" /></a><br />

The label doesn’t have to plan these things just on this one Saturday in April – if they have a key release coming out in June, they can team up with the indie stores; or a band that’s touring, maybe they could do more in-stores all along the tour.</span></div><div style="font-size: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px rgb(251, 251, 251);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">They do serve a purpose – it’s the place that when I was a kid, I could go find about music. Whether or not I know somebody there, nine times out of ten, the kids there are knowledgeable about music and lead me to some good stuff.
