If music has any future in the age of the robot its name is the metapuffs. Hailing from Chicago they bring the glitz and the glam back to an artform that has grown increasingly stale and cookie-cutter. The new sound that they are pushing to the forefront they call âretro-futroâ since it is both classic and groundbreaking simultaneously.
At the center of the storm stands Tris Lucas, a mysterious and somewhat eerie presence, and the primary songwriter for the band. Either blessed or cursed with the inability to not write songs, he churns out an average of five songs a week and estimates he has well over a thousand songs and growing to choose from. Candy Lane stands at his side wearing the soon to be latest fashion with a twist. The two met at a local hangout not so long ago and began an ongoing collaboration. She took up the drums on a whim to find her inner John Bonham and the nucleus of the band was born. After performing with a couple of other bassists, the two met Jon Collins, a highly experienced bass playing intellectual with fiery red hair. His melodic bass lines and ability to sing harmonies creates a blissful ménage a trios.
Having all the pieces in place, they then set out to record an album that would be an instant classic. The result of this endeavor is Dimensional Maze. Containing twelve original songs punctuated by boy/girl vocals, feverish rhythms, and silvery-sweet guitar lines, it is replete with sci-fi settings and themes of separation, despair, joy, and lust that run rampant over an apocalyptic musical soundscape. If this album is any indication, the glistening knives of watchmen may sound the death knell of the rock genre, but it will not go gentle into that good night.
