| Bio "Give Love", the first album from the Josh Dion Band, rocks. But it also does so much more than that. Put away the cookie cutter pop music that you've been conditioned to expect from the informed professionals. This is no low tech, self-conscious attempt to recreate the music of the fashion trendies who inhabit that world where lo-fi substitutes for authenticity. Neither is it the latest fad for the scenesters for whom only emo can express the uncertainties of youth. And it's certainly not the latest Karaoke processed pop star. This is something else. This is an album that comes from musicians in their early twenties that covers so much ground musically and thematically, it lands on your doorstep as a complete, welcome surprise. In the words of someone who knows about these things, bass player Will Lee who guests on "Give Love" offered this appraisal, "Josh is the hottest new drummer there is. His excitement level, mixed with his ability to keep the groove going, makes him a bright star in the musical universe. As a performer, I dare to say he's practically the Keith Moon of today." With characteristic ironic understatement, he adds, "Oh wait - there's more - he sings!" |
