Mojo’s Pick of the Week – Alter Bridge

pickAlter Bridge is quickly on its way to being a household name on the strength of their fourth album, “Fortress”, released late last year. And yet they are not well known enough that I had to find them filed under “Creed” at SF’s Amoeba Records. Orlando, Florida’s Alter Bridge is guitar phenom Michael Tremonti, bassist Brian Marshall and drummer Scott Phillips from Creed, with the addition of powerhouse singing talent Myles Kennedy, known from his work with Slash. I saw Kennedy fronting Slash’s Snakepit and simply nailing Axl Rose’s parts during the G&R songs, and came away extremely impressed. I’m more impressed now.

Alter Bridge“Fortress” is heavy rock with a prog metal soul, calling to mind at times Dream Theater, Queensryche, and Fates Warning, but I swear the band I think of most when listening to it is cult favorite Psychotic Waltz. This masterpiece of an album hasn’t left my car since I bought it. Complex and powerful, yet melodic and haunting, it is definitely one of the best albums of 2013. Alter Bridge just played Australia’s Soundwave festival with the likes of Alice in Chains, Rob Zombie, Filter and Clutch. Catch them if you can and definitely pick up “Fortress“. You won’t be disappointed!

It’s Still Hard Album Released!

It's Still Hard“It’s Still Hard” is the complete remixing, reworking and remastering of Mojo’s Army’s first album, “It’s Hard”. These songs range from the simply enhanced and largely untouched (Little Boxes, Thunderpussy) to the completely rerecorded and reworked (Lipstick on my Whiskey). They all sound the way Mojo meant them to sound back in 2009 when he was still in the process of learning out how to write & record.

For of you who’ve been following Mojo’s Army since the early days on MySpace, you’ve never heard these songs like this. And for the rest, you’ll get a chance to hear the songs that won over our first fans!
