Here is a tape only release from Seattle`s "Jr. Cadillac". Anyone who knows anything about PNW music has at least heard of these guys. They have been rockin` for over 46 years! There is too much to say about these guys. I don`t have anything new to bring to the table, information-wise. So I will just say:
Uchpa is a great Peruvian rock/blues band. They sound a bit like Led Zeppelin to me at times. I don`t know a whole lot about them. I believe they are still together, and still doing shows that are exciting and energy filled.
Here is a cool rock cd from Will Ayers. It was released in 2001 on Crinkle Cut Records. I don`t know much about Will and his music. From the little bit of information I have found, he is a street performer who has played anywhere from Anacortes, WA to Anaheim, CA, as well as for senators and congressmen.
This 1998 self titled debut would be "Suede Stone`s" only release. It was put out by Tacoma`s indie label Def Ear Records. It`s a great female fronted "bluesy rock" cd.
Here is one that I don`t know anything about. The Trouser Trouts, from Spokane, Washington. I like their tunes, and I would think they had some type of following when they made this CD, but I haven`t found ANY info on them, anywhere. The band members were Kurt Sedlacek, Brian Moran, and Simon Lawrie. If you know anything about them, please leave a comment.
Southern rock from the great Northwest! This is the original release of "The Hard Way". Rebel Storm sounds like the Allman Brothers, or Lynyrd Skynyrd. This album got all kinds of praise, and was featured on all the southern rock sites and magazines. They have released a lot more material since, but I am not sure if they are still together or not.
Here is a cd from "Shallow Water" an EP called "Seven Years", it was released independently by the band in 1999. I don`t know much about the band, except that they were from the Seattle area, and were definitely a Christian band.
