Don’t know WOOD SHAMPOO or Murph Daniels? No matter, you do now. Plenty of names to drop but, more importantly …do you still like to party?

WOOD SHAMPOO’S CRACK, CRACK HEART ATTACK, mastered by Bob Ludwig, is an            unabashed, gloriously simplistic and yet many-colored rock& roll tour de force that verges on punk and alternative in a way only NYC bands seem to get. And yeah, the list of cats who jammed on the record will make Murph blush when asked in person but, one thing is clear: the cavalry saluted and for an hour or so rock & roll is alive and well again!

Good times aside, at its core, CRACK, CRACK HEART ATTACK is a collection of pop-routed gems of the guilty pleasure variety that so few seem able write any more. Almost rock for rock’s sake and steeped in a proud tradition of dirty secrets, hedonistic pleasures, coy turns of phrase, tasty guitars, enigmatic vocals & edgy hooks; CRACK, CRACK HEART ATTACK is a tight snapshot of an unblemished rock spirit who could hold it back no longer.

WOOD SHAMPOO have nothing to lose, neither do you. So what’s it gonna be, one lump or two?

From a picture disc I picked up in London in '86, an interview with Gene & Paul from Oct 21st 1983 in Leeds, England on the LIU Tour. It may be with British rock media legend Dante Bonutto?

Pass The Dutchie (cover)

Waiting For Henry is a new band of old friends of mine brought together by the emotive  rock & roll of our forthcoming debut, Ghosts & Compromise: 11 tunes that echo our undying love of  original indie bands like the ‘Mats.

 A solid representation of great music that can be rendered when a band lands on the borderline of indie rock and Alt. Country without getting too caught up in either territory  - Von Cloedt, AmericanaRockMix.com 

Led by former Mr. Henry (EMI) alt-rocker Dave Slomin on lead vocal & guitar, Waiting For Henry includes me, Dave Ashdown (Dashdown), on drums, guitar & vocals and groove hound Michael Chun on bass. On stage the band will be  joined by Ryan Adams guitarist and renown producer, JP Bowersock.

Ghosts & Compromise was recorded, engineered & mixed lovingly by Joe Dell’Aquila @ Exeter Recording Studios in Freehold, NJ, produced by the band with Slomin in the hot seat and mastered by Bill Henderson @ Azimuth Mastering.
