Edison

Familiar Spirit Jay Wallace

BandWagon Magazine

Denver-based folk/rock outfit Edison, consisting of singer/guitarist Sarah Slaton, multi-instrumentalist Dustin Morris and former Lumineers guitarist Maxwell Hughes have been around since late 2014, and spent most of that time out on the road. The hustling paid off as the trio signed with Rhyme & Reason Records in late 2016 and soon after released their first album, Familiar Spirit.

Familiar Spirit is of two mindsets; the first half is rather moody and downbeat, while the back half is cheery and hopeful, which leads to your emotions swinging around as you listen to it. The first half also is the “rock” half of this folk/ rock hybrid, though not by much. The “rock” connota-

tion seems vestigial, at best.

It’s not until “Open Road,” the most folkish song, that the album lightens up and begins to have fun. “Open Road” possesses the energy of a country bar band and it’s an awesome song.

“New York” is joyful, vibrant, and upbeat love anthem and not just for New York, despite the title. The rest of the album is filled out with the instrumental “Idea 5,” “Back And Forth,” which is about the predictable ups and downs of a relationship that’ll work out in the end, and “Tie Me Down,” seemingly about going home instead of being tied down in a relationship.

Familiar Spirit, while a good album with a professional polish, shows that Edison isn’t sure what kind of band they want to be, given the mood shifts between songs.

“Open Road,” “Civil War” and “New York” are the best songs on the album, and overall Slaton’s voice and guitar work, alongside Morris and Hughes’ contributions, show that Edison is a band to be on the lookout for. While it doesn’t feel like Edison has quite found their voice yet with Familiar Spirit. it’s close.

Draghoria

Portal To Extinction

Nash Martin

BandWagon Magazine

In an age where it is becoming increasingly uncommon for a band with a high-energy live performance to be able to showcase that same intensity while in the studio, Draghoria is a breath of fresh air for the metal scene. At just slightly over 40 minutes, their longawaited debut album, Portal to Extinction, is eight tracks of madness. Recorded by Greg Keenan at Sound Minon Studio in Longmont, the quality and attention to detail is what sets this album apart from others. From the moment the opening track, “Suicide Serenity” hits your ears, it is clear that this record is not for the faint of heart. With subject matter ranging from the mass shootings plaguing America on “Kill or be Killed” to inner demons on “Awaken the Wicked,” Joel Brim deliv-

ers a brutal vocal style that is in-your-face and straightforward.

On tracks such as “Crowning the Tyrant” and “The Witches of Salem” it’s obvious that guitarists Ron Carrillo and Ryan Nevins share the same chemistry in the studio as they do on stage. “The Visitor” is a three-minute acoustic instrumental by Carrillo, which shows the band’s willingness to experiment and venture outside the boundaries that metal bands can often find themselves within.

Bassist John Colucco delivers solid bass lines throughout the entire recording, with the strongest being on “Welcome to the New Hell”. The youngest member of the band, drummer Alex Carrillo, plays with such intensity that his style can been compared to that of early Slayer and Metallica recordings.

With their debut release, Draghoria delivers a hard punch to the face, and shows why they are on the forefront of the Colorado metal scene, and well deserving of the title ‘The New Wave of American Thrash’.

The Caveat Self-Titled

Stefan Lopez

BandWagon Magazine

With powerhouse bands like Animals as Leaders, Chon, and Russian Circles storming the music scene, it’s clear that the art of constructing instrumental music is better left for prodigies who hide away in the shadows making sweet love to

their instruments for days on end.

The Caveat is composed of these prodigies who share this intimate supercharge with us muggles. I wouldn’t be surprised to find bassist Nik Schafer in the gym busting crunches and practicing minor scales at the same time. Their newest record comes out on the 6th of January at the Marquis Theater in Denver, and I’m elated to say that I got my hands on it to give you the heads up on what you’re missing out on. Both dreamy and hellish, the first track “Transversal” sends listeners on an expedition that begins with single cell organisms and ends in the final line of angels giving

up the gates of heaven to the demons of a distant multiverse.

Throughout the record I found myself without the ability to satisfy my predictions. The Caveat continues to elude my expectations and hit me with a riff I can’t help but knock between my ears throughout the day.

Front to back this record is consistent, and The Caveat does well as an instrumental band. However, there are certain moments across the record where vocals would totally kick ass. Either way, this band is worth every penny you pay for coffee each morning and instead of thinning your enamel for a couple days, you should purchase a ticket, this record, and a t-shirt at their CD release show mentioned above.

Night Riots – “Nothing Personal” As you’re reading this in 2017, just know that somewhere, Travis Hawley of Night Riots is still trying to remove some of the body paint from the “Nothing Personal” music video – really, we asked him about it, even though it is a little, you know, personal. The newest radio single from the band since “Contagious” did not disappoint; it’s a little dark, incredibly edgy and one we hope to hear them play at the Moxi in the new year.

one song, they’ve got another one ready to fire off – but we’re OK with that. “Dirty Heavy Soul” is, for lack of better words, sporadic, wired and I may have needed to pop an Adderall after its first spin. It haphazardly fits into Twenty One Pilots’ signature genre of ‘Is this hip hop or is this rock?’ But the hook is, well, a damn good hook. Once we were about a minute into it, we couldn’t this one go.

For Denver-based MC Kalyn Heffernan, life has never been easy. Born with brittle bone disease, she’s had to endure countless surgeries and a lifetime of judgement due to her, what she calls, “CripLife” (short for crippled life), but that’s who she is—witty, funny and bursting at the seams with personality, especially when she grabs the mic. The results are nothing short of explosive.

As the lead MC for the jazzinfused Hip Hop trio, Wheelchair Sports Camp (WSC), she’s experiencing a reality she once only dreamed of.

Signed to the Sage Francishelmed Strange Famous Records (SFR), WCS just released its first project under SFR’s new SFdigi platform, No Big Deal, which was produced by the late, great Ikey Owens, who was a powerhouse of talent and worked with everyone from Jack White to The Mars Volta.

With No Big Deal now out in the world, the impact of the massive year she’s had is beginning to set in as she recovers from surgery after yet another broken leg. When Owens suddenly died while on tour with Jack White at the age of 38, the fact the WSC record is one of the last projects he did is truly mind boggling.

While some people may see Heffernan as “challenged,” the passion she has for not only music, but also social activism is awe-inspiring and she’s getting to live a life most people will never get to experience.

Mark and Matt Hill of The Floozies are two brothers on a funk mission. Since their first show as The Floozies in 2008, The Hill brothers have taken that mission around the world, sharing their brand of EDM everywhere from house parties to sold out festivals alongside so many industry greats. Recently, we spoke with The Floozies about the things that make their world go around.

Where are some of your favorite places to play?

Oh man so many great places. Firstly, everywhere is unique for its own reasons. For instance we just played two nights in

BANDWAGON MAGAZINE | 14

Madison Wisconsin, and it was incredible. The people in that town have been with us for a long time and they always come out with a lot of energy when we play. I loved playing red rocks because it’s beautiful and the sound is really unique. New Orleans is great we always end up playing til 4am and that seems like the beginning of the evening ha! Each place is alive with its own thing and we are lucky to go to all of these places and share the space with them.

You guys have such a live feel to your music with an obvious appreciation for live guitar and drums.

What got you into EMD as to opposed to becoming a full

rock or funk band?

We are brothers. We share a musical vision and always have really. We just played music together. Started with the live looping guitar and drums. We added more instruments and elements.

Eventually it was really helpful and natural to add a computer to the mix. It added so many possibilities producing and designing sounds and also freeing us up live to do so much more.

I feel as though it all just happened naturally and the music never lacked anything for us to add members.

With such a catalog of music under your belt now,

how do you stay challenged when touring and writing new music?

Creatively expressing ourselves is really fun. We are always trying to write more music and change transitions and do edits of old songs. we love playing music so that keeps us challenged. Got keep it fresh and keep having fun. We also strive to make every single show unique so that keeps us writing! I look forward to playing my drums every day and trying new things.

With the recent tragic art space fire in Oakland, the response in Denver has been to crack down on DIY venues. Have you seen any changes at your shows since the fire? Have you

ever played a show where you felt unsafe?

So incredibly sad.

No I have not noticed any changes. And not really to be honest.

A lot of great bands have also come out of Lawrence, Kansas. What makes it such a good place for music?

It’s kind of an oasis in Kansas.

Everyone interested in art or music flocks there from all over Kansas. And honestly is just has a long history of good folks running places there. It just takes a few of the right people that care for culture or even one person, to make a city great. There’s a surprisingly huge amount of great venues there for music

and just a lot of great people.

What is one piece of equipment you couldn’t live without?

My drum sticks!

What is one piece of advice you have for young musicians?

Your ears are your greatest tool!

What was your favorite record of 2016?

Cobrayama and Gibbz - Swim Bonus question: If you could have a jam session with one person from any point in history who would it be?

Prince

T

he Wailers are eternally synonymous with the word ‘reggae.’ Its music was sparked by a revolutionary time when social unrest was bubbling to the surface, but its soundtrack was fresh and innovative. Along with the late reggae icon Bob Marley, The Wailers successfully attained international recognition and continue to spread its positive messages built on the foundation of Rastafarianism around the world despite Marley’s untimely death in 1980.

During the course of the group’s decades-long career, the ever-evolving lineup of musicians have played for over 24 million fans and sold over 250 million albums worldwide, consequently cementing Jamaica’s reggae tradition in music history. Songs like “Small Axe” and “Soul Rebel” helped define the genre by slow-

ing down the beat and introducing cultural overtones into what had formerly been considered novelty music by non-Caribbean audiences. Undoubtedly masters of invention, The Wailers’ imprint on the world is unshakable, but something countless people have tried to emulate.

“We learn from our mistakes,” Barrett says in his unmistakable Jamaican accent. “The Wailers are the originators and new artists are imitating our style. We look back and notice our mistakes, but we move forward from our mistakes and do better in the future.”

Beginning in the ghettos of Kingston, Jamaica during the summer of love, Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh recruited bassist Aston “Family Man” Barrett and his brother, drummer Carlton Barrett of Lee

Perry’s Upsetters, to join the collective. After signing with Island Records in 1971, Wailer and Tosh moved on two short years later to pursue moderately lucrative solo careers. By this time, the Barrett brothers were in high demand and soon adopted The Wailers moniker. The Wailers are present on the majority of Marley’s hit albums and singles, however, it was The Wailers’ work on Marley’s Natty Dread that opened the flood gates of triumph and catapulted them to an untouchable level. Natty Dread turned out to be Marley’s crowing achievement and is still considered a flawless masterpiece.

The fact “Family Man” was truly Marley’s unheralded right-hand man is often overlooked. The multi-talented musician not only contributed bass guitar to The Wailers’ enormous catalog, but

also lent his organ, piano, rhythm guitar, percussion, and production skills. His name is listed directly under Marley’s own on every one of Island Records album releases, including Catch A Fire, which also featured contributions from original Wailers’ members Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. “I Know” was the last Bob Marley and the Wailers single to be released before Marley’s death in 1981. It was “Family Man” Barrett whom Marley asked to mix and prepare “I Know,” calling from his hospital bed in Bavaria with his request.

In addition, Marley entrusted him with the production of the Melody Makers, a group consisting of several of Marley’s children.

With all of this going on, the message of the music was always and continues to be the most important.

“There is a person for every step of production. It’s too much going on and people tend to forget about the music. There are too many studios. Everyone is producing now and it shouldn’t be that way. It should be about the message and authenticity of the music.”

Thankfully, the 2016 version of The Wailers are ready to shake things up while delivering the authentic reggae sound the group has mastered. The current line up features “Family Man,” Junior Marvin,

Aston Barrett, Jr., Donald Kinsey, Owen “Dreadie” Reid, Josh David Barrett, Javaughn Bond, and Shema McGregor.

“While I love all kinds of music played on the radio, and look forward to listening to all kinds of new music, I like full band music, where there is a bass player, singer, drummer, and keyboard player,” he says.

“I think the authenticity is missing in music nowadays. We need some sort of message from songs.”

“I think things are too technical nowadays,” he says.
