Description

"Back in the early nineties Boston, Massachusetts
was firmly positioned on the rock n' roll map thanks
to the likes of AEROSMITH, EXTREME, and an up
and coming band called ATUNGA. For those of you
who used to subscribe to 'Take it' online Magazine,
(back in our youth) alarm bells may be ringing at the
mention of the latter. No stranger to our pages, ATUNGA
were a perfectly formed four piece fronted by singer/
songwriter Greg Cherone. Edgy, bluesy, funky they were all
that Boston grown bands did best. Sadly, scenes change and
ATUNGA, along with many others became a casualty of grunge.
However, you can't keep a good man down and a decade later
Greg has seen fit to launch onto the world an independent CD,
containing five previously unreleased songs. A solid five track
CD, of honest good quality rock songs, it presents a previously
untapped side of Mr. Cherone. Now a husband and father, what
appears to be present on this offering is a maturity and reflection
not previously present in Greg's work. Indeed, the entire production
shows a strength of character that can only be derived from a greater
sense of what you have to offer to the world. All of the songs are
stripped back to basics; Greg obviously no longer feeling the need to
hide behind the bravado of full on heavy rock, instead choosing to
embrace a warmer, mellower and altogether more innocent format
to his songwriting; with the emphasis placed heavily on vocal harmonies.
It's all there in one tight little package: the anthemic 'Birth of Rock n'
Roll,' the ode to skirt chasing 'Cara Ann,' blues-rock ballad 'Some Kind
of Amnesia,' the AOR of 'Just Good Friends' and finally, the finest of the
five, 'A Humarock Song'; conjuring up hazy memories of summers past;
definately one to cruise to with the top down (do people actually still say
that?!). All of the songs are written by Greg and composer/percussionist
John Saliba. Except for 'A Humarock Song' which sees Greg collaborating with his brother Gary. Indeed, all of the Cherone brothers are present here as Mark takes guitar credits on all of the tracks.
To hear samples of Greg's new CD (and to purchase a shiny new copy of your very own) head straight to www.cdbaby.com And, for those of you who yearn for the glory days that were the 1990's Boston label Retrospect Records have announced that they are to release an ATUNGA CD at any moment - enjoy!"

"OK! Let's make this clear once and for all.
Yes! Greg Cherone is the brother of Gary
(Ex-Van Halen/Extreme), and No! He's not
trying to sound like his brother of Extreme.
They are obviously both inspired by the late 70's
rock of Queen and such. Not that strange either
since they were brought up in the same house.
They were bound to hear what the other was
playing on the stereo .. one way or another
(turn down that crap you piece of ... ).
Boston folks may also remember him up
front for the band Atunga. These songs are
all of good quality. Musicians include yet
another Cherone on lead guitar (Mark of
okpanic), Stephen Powell on bass, and
Steve Catizone on piano.
Greg's voice is definitely up there along
with his bro' and the music is heavily
inspired by the 70's. It's not heavy metal
for sure and rather basic rock with soul
and warmth."

A HUMAROCK SONG

"The song itself evokes James Taylor's
early work, with its laid back, easy rolling
verses, and Greg's clear, buttery baritone.
And the tone of personal reminiscence is
impossible to miss."

Jay N. Miller -The Patriot Ledger
