Description

THE PROBLEMS began in New York City with guitarist and singer/songwriter Frank Caiafa, bassist Kenney Anaya and drummer Barbara Corless. Later joined by vocalist Caroline Heldman, violinist Liz Pierson, lead guitarist Josh Weingust and multi-instrumentalist Rick Rivera, THE PROBLEMS began playing in and around N.Y.C from 1996 thru 2000. A fortuitous meeting with Smithereens frontman Pat Dinizio led to an invite on his "Living Room Tour". Soon afterward they began recording what would become their full length debut album available here at CDBaby. The record is currently receiving airplay across the U.S. and around the world including WAXQ 104.3 New York's new music show, "Out of the Box" and NPR's music show "All Songs Considered". Songs from this album are also featured in the independent film, "The Poker Game" and renowned artist Lonnie Hanzon's documentary film, "Working The Magic", which in July of 2004 won "Best Documentary" in Philadelphia's First Glance Film Festival. In September of 2004, "This Town" was awarded Honorable Mention in the Rock/Alternative Rock Category in Billboard Magazine's "World Song Contest". Various cuts can also be heard in rotation on XM Satellite Radio's "Unsigned" channel and all over the Web including AOLradio.com and Radio@NetscapePlus.com among many others. THE PROBLEMS are currently working on new songs to be released in 2005. Here are some reviews...

"After listening to The Problems CD in my car, I had to play these infectious songs on my morning show. The audience liked them too, they were calling in asking to hear more. This band has a fresh sound, yet familiar; they're a group that you would expect to hear at the Woodstock Fests! I think nothing but good things are in store for The Problems."
- Brother Wease, Morning Show Host & Woodstock MC

"The CD from 'The Problems' is full of really accessible, catchy rock & roll. The songs are very well crafted and performed with passion. These guys know how to do it."
-Dave Kane, WCMF - FM 96.5 Music Director, Midday Host

"Listening to The Problems, it's hard to believe they hail from New York. Their blend of jangly, rootsy rock/pop suggest a more rural U.S. home base. The LP gets off to a strong start, with three of the albums best songs: "This Town", "Ain't Over Yet", and the standout "Still". The album doesn't let up after that, with one catchy, head-bopping tune after another, and a few quieter, heartfelt ballads thrown in for good measure. Perhaps the bands biggest "problem" will be to get enough people in our big city to take notice!
-The Big Takeover #49

"Think Dave Matthews with a "Big Daddy" era Mellencamp fixation or Rockpile if Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds had studied Ralph Stanley instead of Chuck Berry. Either way, great stuff, original songs that showcase some great heartland rock and killer melodies that add a pop edge."
- Freight Train Boogie.com

"There's some great arrangements and hook filled tunes to hear, and they're all kept short and tight with minimal fuss. The lyrics are also intelligent and not your normal 'in one ear and out the other' fodder that a lot of bands end up with. Out of the 17 cuts on the album, there's really not a clunker in the bunch, a rare feat indeed."
-Backroads Reviews.com

"As the singer/songwriter/poet style has resurrected with the Dylan-esque sounds of Ryan Adams, Pete Yorn and Wilco, comes New York based band The Problems, with their impressive debut record. The band confirms they can rock with the best of them on "In For Me" with an X-like vocal ambiance coupled with a Chuck Berry infused guitar solo. There are no problems with The Problems first appearence and in fact if there were a problem, it would be a lack of a recording contract. This group of musicians successfully blend musical genres without confusing the listener. The first outing for The Problems is fun, fresh, energetic, quirky,and poignant collection of very well crafted original songs.
