Details:
Back, way back, before America was America, there were songs. Songs about drinking and death and regret and fear and anger and love. These songs have been all around the world. Each new generation in each place tinkers with them a bit, changing up the words and melodies, making them louder or softer or faster or slower. Brian McGee hasn''t died yet, but has done and felt all those other things in spades. And until he does die, these songs are his. They are in his lungs and in his hands. This is the first time Brian McGee has stepped out solo, since the break-up of the Pennsylvania punk rock trio PLOW UNITED, in 1997. With this new band of musicians, the HOLLOW SPEED, Brian McGee is wading through the ever flooded cities and farms of American music and looking for a place to set up and call his own. The band has been influenced by every decade of recorded music and from song to song, they etch out pictures that are not retro or futuristic, but current and honest. Their backgrounds are broad and their influences wide, but the sound is consistent through each song, hollering or harmonizing. -------------------------------------------------------------------"...he held it all together under a rough, raw-souled vocal, howling, growling and wailing style that suited roadhouse blues as well as brokenhearted country.............They made the audience wonder who was having more fun, the crowd or the band rocking in the groove of guitar and bass and hypnotizing fiddle..."-Michelle Moon, The WIRE, 8/2/06, New Hampshire-------------------------------------------------------- ".....dishes out a sound that feels gritty and nostalgic, yet fresh, relevent and real."-Laura Blackley TAKE 5 Asheville Citizen Times, 3/31/06 North Carolina-------------------- "...Brian McGee''s music is raw Americana. He sounds like the child of Woody Guthrie, raised by Joey Ramone..."-Kim Clark, DJ & host of LOCAL COLOR @ WNCW 88.7fm
