In
a digital download world where artist photos and clever packaging are
often overlooked, LAURA COLE makes us pay attention. On the front
cover of her raw, gritty and wildly infectious debut full length
album DIRTY<i><b> </b></i>CHEAT,
the quickly emerging, raspy voiced Ontario based singer-songwriter
smiles playfully, relaxed in a wicker chair. The back cover finds her
in a sexy black dress in the remote woods of Upstate New York, aiming
and shooting a friend's licensed .45 - a wild episode that had
neighbors calling out the SWAT team, thinking something sinister was
amiss before the situation was defused as a big misunderstanding.
That's the perfect metaphor for LAURA and her deep, complex
artistry: the adorable badass. A
compromise free, colorfully blunt songwriter, LAURA brings her edgy,
soulful and distinctively bluesy musical vision to life with the help
of two GRAMMY winning producers - STEVE BIGAS, who won his
GRAMMY
for engineering blues legend TAJ MAHAL, and the legendary DANIEL
LANOIS, an artist in his own right whose vast resume includes GRAMMY
winning albums by BOB DYLAN (TIME OUT OF MIND) and U2 (THE
UNFORGETTABLE FIRE, THE JOSHUA TREE) and others by WILLIE NELSON,
NEIL YOUNG, EMMYLOU HARRIS and THE NEVILLE BROTHERS. </div>

When
I asked guitarist STUART GREEN of the band CRAWL what he wanted people
to come away with after they listened to their new EP ANTICIPATE THE
FALL he told me he wanted people to know that a Canadian band can rock
and that a bunch of guys in their forties can rock. Being a year away
from the big 4-0 myself I definitely feel like I'm rooting for the home
team by getting behind a rather fine collection of songs that boast
the kind of big melodic hard rock that has sustained me and
others in my age bracket for all of these years. You see, ANTICIPATE
THE FALL is more than just a mere "new release". It's a comeback. The
band was formed in 1992 and earned a measure of success in Canada
with two CDs - 300 YARDS OF FACE and FEED - both of
which generated singles and music videos that earned accolades form the
MUCH MUSIC ViDEO AWARDS in the mid nineties. In 2013, three quarters of
the band reunited for a benefit show and the energy felt on stage has
now found it's way onto this exciting new album with new front man
MICHAEL DAVID WOLF and some electrifying material such as the bombastic
first single RISE. </div>
