Never Wonder Who They Are Again
|
Aggressive, modern rock with driving guitars mark the CD-R of four tracks being circulated by the California band Neverwonder. Gutsy, powerful, chops-bustin' vocals are provided by Joy Pearson, while the rock riffs are supplied by Flint Mavis, a guitarist who grinds out earth-crushing rhythms on the heaviest track, "Fate" with primal abandon. If you're into extended guitar solos, Neverwonder might not be the band for you (although "Turnaround" proves that, when called for, Mavis can rip out an agile solo without breaking a sweat); Mavis is primarily a textural player, adding swirling guitar arpeggios, crunchy rhythms - in short, keying his playing towards serving the song. The Ramos brothers are a great team, ensuring heavy bass and drums support the music, which hints at Stone Temple Pilots, Alice In Chains, Alanis Morisette and the Black Crows.
Vocalist Joy Pearson toured the world and performed with the National Tour of the Broadway show "Crazy For You." Her passion for success has carried her in the industry for several years - all the way from Philadelphia to Los Angeles. The pulse and backbone of the band are Andres and Vincent Ramos (Exploiting Eve), exceptional musicians voted one of the Best Bands in Southern California by Music Connection magazine. The duo's experience includes playing venues such as House of Blues (LA/OC), Roxy, Key Club and the Viper Room. Flint Mavis (Lovecraft, Trainwrecked) is an experienced songwriter and guitarist bringing a unique energy to the band with his amazing guitar sound, adding the necessary elements to complete the group.
Neverwonder's goals are to become Grammy Award winning artists, headline world tours, achieve multi-platinum sales status, and create a multimedia empire in no less than the music, movie, and online industries.

Capturing His Fiery Playing
|
Anthemic hard rock is found all over Lou DiBello's most recent CD-R release, appropriately called The Axeman Cometh. This is his second album (his first was completed in 1993), and this one is an all instrumental, 8 song effort. Ripping, shredded solos mark tracks such as "When All Is Lost", "To The Maxx" and the neo-classically influenced "Tribute 2005", in which the diminished licks play a major role. The magnum opus on the release is the three-part (and over twelve minutes) piece entitled "A Dangerous Alliance", with its opening Black Sabbath-like tolling bell, wind and rain effects, crunchy Krokus-inspired riffs, lyrically harmonized passages and spirited, bee-in-a-bottle alternate picked lines. As one of his fan letters stated, you may get a speeding ticket if you listen to The Axeman Cometh in your vehicle of choice - so get off the highway, and plug into DiBello's heavy rock.
Lou's first gig with a rock band was at age 17. He also studied piano and saxophone as a youth, beginning guitar at age 15. In 1989, he graduated with honors from Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA. From 1989 to 1999, Lou was in several bands, notably Electric Sky and Blanche Talley, and released his first all instrumental effort, "Pile-Up" in 1993. In 2000, he recorded several pieces for pro wrestling events. Lou has appeared in Guitar World's Hometown Heroes column. From 1994 to present, he has been the guitarist for the band ESP, of which Lou is the only founding member to play every ESP show. The band played across downstate Illinois and into Indiana, and at it's busiest played over 100 shows a year for many years. The band released a self-titled EP in 2000, selling hundreds of CDs at shows and garnering a few good regional reviews in the process.
DiBello is also the owner and creator of Guitarlessononline.com, started in 2001. GuitarlessonOnline was one of the first online lesson web sites to feature both streaming video lessons and Flash multi-media lessons.
