"Life's a three minute pop song, learn the words and sing along"
Every once in a while a record comes along so electric it feels like you just stuck your finger in a light socket. Such is the case with the debut album by maydayground, a Nashville based three-piece band consisting of
Michael Spears, bass guitar, lead vocals, Bryan Hall, guitar/vocals, and drummer Ludo Baccherini.
Michael and Bryan, friends since childhood, spent several years with best friend, Gregg Fulkerson,
in Blue Tears, a band that reached underground cult status.
The two have since departed and have teamed up with singer, songwriter Billy Falcon.
Falcon, alumni of rock's noble under-ground, (Bon Jovi, Stevie Nicks) first worked with Spears and Hall on his magnificent 2003 release, "Songs About Girls", which Spears co-produced. Those sessions led to Michael producing Rose Falcon on her Columbia Records debut single, Up Up Up, a chart topper on Disney Radio.
The results of their current collaboration can be heard on their melodic new album, In Tecnicolor.
Songs like If Your Lonely, Sunny and 72, and Nothing Without You, demonstrate songwriting at it's best with poetic lyrics, haunting melodies, and of course, plenty of edgy guitars and loud loud drums. Add Michael's moody vocals and the result is an atmospheric soundscape that, after a few listens, will take up residence in your subconscious.
