Steve Adamyk Band - Dial Tone - New LP
Ottawas Steve Adamyk Band returns with their 4th LP (released barely a year since the last one), Dial Tone, and its their best yet!
For this release, SAB travelled to Oakland, CA to record with Matthew Melton of Warm Soda/Bare Wires fame. Melton grew up in Memphis and that influence definitely shows on Dial Tone.
While still plenty fast and catchy, Dial Tone shows the band dialing (ha!) back a little on the break-neck punk/pop tempos of previous releases, with increasing nods to classic rock n roll form. If 2011s Forever Wont Wait was their pop LP, and 2013s Third was their punk album, lets call this one their garage rock masterpiece!
Throughout their history, the sometimes 3, sometimes 4 piece Steve Adamyk Band has always had a fluid lineup. On these recordings (their first LP to have the same lineup as the previous album) SAB is Steve Adamyk (duh), Davey Quenselle, Dave Forcier, and Sebastien Godin (also of Sonic Avenues fame) alongside with guest appearances from Matthew Melton and the Primitive Hearts Danielle Agnew.
2014 has already been a busy year for the band, releasing a 7 on La-Ti-Da Records, touring Japan with Needles//Pins (7 on Dirtnap coming soon!) and playing Dirtnap showcases in NYC and Ottawa. Expect lots more to come, as prolific as these guys are, theres no sign of em slowing down anytime soon!
