Created from scratch on GB, my take on Lorde's Royals. www.john-hanson.com / www.offbeatmotifband.com / Enjoy and share

Royals (Lorde Cover)

JHP’s debut album is titled Go On. It’s rock that proves to be both ambitious and accessible. Versatile songwriting with the consistency of a melodic, familiar feeling through the blaring distorted power of “Trenches” to the acoustic “Sailing the Drift,” the poppy “Get Over It,” or the brooding “Broken Man,” the music has drawn comparisons to artists like REM, Arctic Monkeys, Foo Fighters, and Elliot Smith. John Hanson's voice and guitar lead the way with mixtures of acoustic and electric guitar, piano, synthesizer and horns built on the foundation of bass and drums. John has been cutting his teeth with his live band in Boston and Providence and they have built a small but very loyal following. John Hanson Project, coined JHP, is positioned to have a productive 2019 promoting the album.   

After about six months crafting demos of the chosen songs at the JHP home studio, Go On was recorded at Mad Oak Studios in Allston MA, with parts from the original demos included. Producer Benny Grotto, who has won the prestigious Boston Music Award for producer of the year, joining him for the process were: Mike Levesque (Session Drummer, David Bowie, Natalie Imbruglia), Sean McLauglin (Session Bassist, owner of 38’ Studios in Boston), Dom Tenaglia (engineer at Mad Oak, Session Guitarist, Berklee College student).  
JHP are hosting their own album release party on 1/12/2019 at the Walpole Italian American Club for those who are local. Tickets are for sale here : https://johnhansonproject.ticketleap.com/john-hanson-project-album-release-party/
