Throwback

Let's get back into the swing of things, shall we? The next band I'll enlighten you with is called Throwback. The following excerpt from their myspace site explains their sound far better than I ever could:

"The bands unique sound mixes roots rock, folk, jazz, and funk into a musical blend that has slowly incorporated jam-band virtuosity into its original harmony-based melodic blueprint."

And if that quote doesn't at least excite your curiosity, their influences range from The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, and Steely Dan to Trey Anastasio (Phish), Ben Harper, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, and Dispatch. That was certainly more than enough to pique my interest. So check out those sites, where you can hear a sampling of the eclectic melodic stylings of this Montreal-based band.

Unfortunately, if you do happen to like them, there will be a limited amount of music available as "Throwback announced in March of 2006 that the band would be separating indefintely." However, that's no reason not to listen to the music they did produce. It's definitely worth it! (Plus they have a chick bass player... for all you feminists.)

Enjoy!
