Details:
Slingshot Genius is an original five piece rock band hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Together since December 2008, they''ve tuned in to each other''s talents, creative insights, and eclectic musical influences to generate some of the most dynamic modern alternative music of this era. Difficult to pigeonhole into one genre, Slingshot Genius has been described as a triple thick milkshake of Keith Richards, John Lennon, and Dave Grohl, with the sweet whipped cream topping of Loretta Lynn.
The critics at Status Hat, out of Charlottesville, VA, published in their January 2011 Artszine, "This song (Blur) has surging guitars and intense vocals, and seems as if it''s a soundtrack for an urban adventure. They chime "in the blur where the skyline meets the sea" as a way for us to look at the ever moving arc of being alive. This band blends many aspects and styles of rock into a fresh and enlivening musical experience."
Indeed, no band sounds quite like Slingshot Genius, as they take the potential for unique songwriting quite seriously. As anyone who has seen them on stage will attest, you are just as likely to bounce with the enthusiastic crowd to a song laced with a mellow yet brassy live trombone, as you are to have your neck hair stand on end as you hear shimmery male-female harmonics lain carefully throughout almost every tune. Take a solid rhythmic foundation, a bassist who, as one avid fan eloquently described, "drives the record like a motherf*****" , mix in two guitarists swirling together bright tones with gritty ones, add an overlay of relatable lyrics carried by a duo of high energy vocals, and pepper in synths, percussive elements, brass, and the occassional musical saw, and you''ve concoted Eau de Slingshot Genius.
Just as their steely home town of Pittsburgh developed a charmingly rough character as it persisted through times both tough and glorious, so to has this band found itself to be a sound all of their own. Listen to tracks such as ''Handgun'', ''Chemistry'', and ''Paper & Pen'', off of their latest EP ''Secret No.7'', and you''ll hear great examples of their dynamics for yourself.
