Details:
"The End Of The Day" is a coming together of sorts and seventh album in a string of acclaimed releases by The Sorentinos on The Major Label. The new album brings new textures and dynamics only hinted upon from the 1999''s "All Good Things...." while staying true to the "just play the song" mentality.
Danny Sorentino''s observations of "life as it happens" through songwriting has continued to be the strength and dialogue which brings fans into "the world according to The Sorentinos". A world which, remarkably mirrors everyone else''s - the same joys, hopes, frustrations and downright confusion we all go through; like it or not. But once you''re in....you''re in for good. Danny adds, "I have always thought of myself as a writer first and a musician second. The music is the method I use to deliver the message and hopefully with every year that goes by, I get a little better at delivering the message".
"Wonderboy" has already become a quick fan favorite as well as "Strongest Man In the World," "Lower" and "Kiss The Ground" - There aren''t any losers here. The songs move along reminiscent to the days of being only long enough for you to want to play them again immediately because they ended too soon. And hey, there''s nothing wrong with a song you can hum along to either!
New members yet old friends Kenny Susan on drums and background vocals and late addition Russ Kerger on keyboards joins Sorentinos stalwarts Rob Ruiz on bass and background vocals and AWOL UK-based guitarist Steve Lee to form the latest incarnation which actually should really be considered a collective. The sound has never been so complete. Sorentino regular drop-ins Steve "Guido" Barbieri and Terry Keady add their six string talents because we can. English guest drummers Tim Burgess and Ian Brenchley sat in for the London recording sessions. Nashville songstress Kris Wilkinson adds her vocal touch as well. Apparently long distance band relationships can work!
The San Francisco Bay Area group have remained on a steady course -- a potent mixture of guitar based musical influences ranging from the Beatles and Rolling Stones to Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Neil Young to actually combine into something uniquely their own. Simple, straightforward lyrics relating universal feelings in a timeless manner. All the goodness without the fat - nothing wrong with that -- neatly wrapped in a tidy value-for-money 17 song album.
"All Good Things..." (1999) and "Family" (1997) were critically acclaimed and brought huge favor from both sides of the Atlantic. "Welcome To The Past," (1996), "What We Dream" (1995) and "Obviously Five Believers" (1994) round out their CD catalogue. Dan''s prolific songwriting has never meant of shortage a material to record.
Staunch Tinomaniac''s radio KRSH/Santa Rosa CA continues to air tracks matching most superstar acts. London''s Time Out "Venue of the Year" winners the 12 Bar Club and The Borderline have all but adopted the band offering unprecedented support in the UK scene which also includes the BBC Radio''s "Whispering" Bob Harris (an English institution) among many others.
Sorentinos songs have so far graced no less than four "Melrose Place" episodes including the opening credits which are normally reserved for artists such as Sting or John Mellancamp. Other songs have been used in films "Lover''s Knot" starring Tim Curry and Jennifer Grey, successful indie film fest movie "Follow The Bitch," and was soloed in CBS (US) Movie Of The Week "Co-ed Call Girl" starring Tory Spelling.
All this creates for a unique band calling America and the UK home and who continue to take on the world on their own terms.
A Sorentino favorite saying is "Life is what happens in the meantime....". It certainly does.
