Joseph Grillo Discography of CDs

Joseph Grillo CD discography If you're deep into hard rock, you might remember when the band Warrior Soul urgently and rebelliously popped up in the '90s and promised to rescue rock & roll, bringing it back to the days when guitars still ran wild. It never happened. Record buyers wanted a tighter nihilism, Nirvana-style. There's a whiff of that around God Doesn't Care, the huge and threatening-to-go-ponderous-any-minute debut by Instruction. Just like lyricist Arty Shepherd says on "Three Stops Short of Dagenham," these boys are flooded with purpose. Tense and urgent like you wouldn't believe, you can taste the frustration these guys have suffered in the hard-rocking but ignored bands they served time in (Quicksand, Errortype: 11, and too many others to mention). With frontman Shepherd being such a dramatic powerhouse -- on the mic and with the pen -- it's easy to forget what a solid band is behind him, chugging and trudging, tighter than tight. Fans of Bob Ezrin (the Marshall amp-loving producer behind Kiss' Destroyer and every Alice Cooper album that mattered) will be more than happy with the fiery sound on the record, adding a black light poster, Trans Am Firebird decal feel to the album. He's brought back that old album flow too, making God Doesn't Care a better start-to-finish listen than a pick-and-choose download. Lyrically, Instruction have nothing do with the '70s. They're too introspective, too tortured for that. Tracks like "I'm Dead" borrow equally from U2 and the Cult while the awesome "Lean on You" shows they're well aware of Trent Reznor. For anyone not knee deep in the band's past lives, God Doesn't Care ...

Joseph Grillo albums The five songs on The Model EP are equal parts Foo Fighters and Drive Like Jehu, wrapped together with some rock drive all their own. What pops out is a band who sounds surprisingly like they might become the next generation's Sense Field, with remarkable melodious vocals and a hard rock sensibility. While toying with guitar solos and straightforward drum beats, the song structures are easily rock-related, but Garrison has taken all their ...

Joseph Grillo songs The key to a good band is sometimes found no further than the individual behind the sound board. In this case, with Garrison's Be a Criminal, the evidence is found no further than legendary producer/musician J. Robbins. While Robbins can seemingly turn any act into a well-oiled machine, there usually has to be some talent to begin with. And Garrison no doubt has that talent. On this ten-song disc, influences as vast as ...
