Details:
Fueled by NYC-based singer/songwriter Allison Cipris' herculean vocals and sexy charisma, the Allison Cipris Band suggests what a cross between Pat Benatar and Sheryl Crow might sound like sharing the stage with a lead guitarist (Seth Skolnick) equal parts '80s shred and Claptonesque soul and a rhythm section (Tony Gregory, bass / Doug Clark, drums) equal parts funk and balls.
With a background in musical theater that primed her for the stage and experience as a session singer for songwriters such as Cy Coleman and Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi, Allison's dynamic voice sets her apart from other female singers in the genre; she can fill a room with its raw power, or break your heart with its bittersweet intimacy. Allison's evolution from solo artist to frontwoman of a full-blown rock n' roll band has served to give her music a swift kick in the ass. In the tradition of The Pretenders, Blondie, et al., the ACB is a female-fronted group that the guys dig, too.
The ACB's full-length debut album, Not Like You (produced and engineered by Doug in his apartment on the Upper Westside of Manhattan), is chock full of radio-ready tunes with just the right amount of grit around the edges. From the pissed-off, woman-scorned anthem "Break" (previously featured on the compilation CD New York Cares About Local Music Now), to the cry-in-your-beer, country-tinged ballad "Leavin'" (included on UMO Music's Best NYC Singer/Songwriters, Vol. 1), to the slightly disturbing tale of urban heartbreak that is "Hardest Fall" (which received an honorable mention in the 2004 Billboard Magazine Songwriting Contest-Pop category), Not Like You showcases the ACB's ability to craft catchy songs with big hooks and memorable (though not too polished) melodies and infuse them with the passion and personality that each member brings to the table-and the stage, where the band's chemistry and high energy are infectious.
Check out the buzz on Not Like You :
" Cipris's voice has pop appeal and a no nonsense edge that nicely complements her band's solid rock."
-Time Out New York
"Allison Cipris may be relatively new to 'the scene' but she delivers the rock gospel with the conviction of a veteran rock star. her strong vocal presence captures you right from the get go on her band's debut CD, "Not Like You" - but it's the album's diversity , as well as its anthemic swagger that will undoubtedly keep you coming back for more."
-Mark Fisher, 1340 Magazine
" This is not the kind of music with which to settle back over a latte and have a conversation. Ms. Cipris rocks!"
