Details:
Assisted Living is the polished Portland, Oregon band which blends emotion, passion, and energy acting on their own accord. At best, they are a synthesis of progressive rock using strong melodic choruses, with an aggressive edge that is raw combustible fuel.
Produced by Sean Norton the CD (K-12) is very refined, aggressive and evocative. Assisted Living''s K-12 debut release represents the progression the band has been through musically. The band is the first one to admit they use their music to help themselves and their fans cope in life. "K-12"
"In my lyrics I don''t think they are confusing or hard to decipher. We''re trying to stir up emotion, lyrically, just being direct" says John Colgate, lead singer (guitar). Assisted Living focus on making a connection with their fans; and not unlike the bands U2 or the Police, they are making a statement and confidently creating a difference.
Assisted Living is musically intelligent, articulate and unafraid to reveal their concern for the planet. The band is instrumentally independent, but collectively fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Assisted Living''s new disc conjures up purposeful images of the sounds of artists like Jane''s Addiction and Peter Gabrielle, consciously putting forth a variety of sonic sounds and divergent tunes that radiate in your head and make your mind think just a bit.
Colgate, Holden, and Marcus, are an exceptional blend of musicians. Each of them are contributing to the unique blended sound. They desire to make a difference with their music and sonic sound.
