New Guitar Music!

Guitar Music Got You Down for the Count? Say Uncle
Tired of the same old thing only different? Fret not - Uncles Moe and Monk to the rescue. The Uncles (no relation) have each released CDs bound to please jaded guitar music ears: Moe’s Town (Tone Center) from Uncle Moe’s Space Ranch and Uncle Monk’s (we’ve been offered a handsome sum to avoid the word epo_ymo_s) Uncle Monk (Airday Records). While with respect to genre and style the only thing the albums have in common is the word uncle, they do share one underlying trait - an earnest attempt to take things in a refreshingly new direction. From the review by Ignacio Gonzalez of Uncle Monk: “…if you’re not into bluegrass music, Uncle Monk is your best chance at exploring this time-honored genre - you’ll thereafter rarely exit a music store without checking the bluegrass section. Why? Well, consider that Ramones’ co-creator and drummer Tommy Ramone is one half of Uncle Monk.
From the review by Rich Murray of Moe’s Town: The music on this disc is hard to describe. This is not a typical fusion record by any means. Imagine if Buckethead joined Tribal Tech and you’ll start to get the idea. The music is a conglomeration of techno beats, funk grooves, industrial rhythms, metal riffs, samples, loops, cool chord changes, and loads of great guitar playing.
