ROCK: Modern Rock, POP: Power Pop



Details:
Formed last year by singer/songwriter Christian Beach after the demise of his industrially influenced unit Artists That Kill, Beach, who previously fronted the Shore cult band Slave of Id began writing songs that evolved into Ton of Bricks.

The Brick/Long Branch based Ton of Bricks are Christian Beach, vocals/guitars, Gorgo, guitars, Brian Vacchiano on bass and Dave Colapietro, drums, and we just caught an advance listen to Ton of Bricks'' forthcoming first CD, Have a Nice Life.

Overall, we just felt these guys could do no wrong. From the mean, snappy basslines and tension-springy guitar crunch of the title cut "Have a Nice Life" to the buzzing, psychedelic-splashed urgency of "the Magic Show" with a radio friendly lyrical hook that just leaps out at you demanding to be heard, Ton of Bricks flex their fresh-sounding grip on Modern Rock and Pop in this six-song debut EP release.

Another crispy, edgy, heavy pop tune came in the form of "Find You Out," where Gorgo''s buzzing guitars alongside Beach''s soaring to passionately open vocals just tuck this song tightly into your earlobes where it belongs. And while the acoustic arrangement of "Shipwrecked" may seem at first surprising in context, Gorgo''s sharply melding guitar work and Beach''s plaintive vocal tell a tale in this perfect pop parable which like other TOB tunes wastes no time or riffing in the telling.

"Perfect" just pulls out all the stops with deftly springing guitar and a wailing to dreamy vocal hook, which highlight this band''s power-surging ode to perfection. During "The End," Alien radio noises and funk dirgy bass lines power a kickin'' arrangement that by disc''s end seems a perfect example of Ton of Bricks'' by-now trademarked edgy force and restraint.

And I know some of you are sitting there going "How can they be THAT good!?!" Well, it ain''t a perfect world, but these guys are close to the perfect sound. Track after track, I can only feel re-charged by the material, along with the proper amount of guitar crackle, thunder and "Storm Und Drang" that''s coiled up and tempered by Bricks'' undaunted emotional edge.

"Have a Nice Life" was produced by the band with Andres Karu of Amazing Meat Project, and it''s available through the band''s website https://www.tradebit.com and at local record outlets.
