After a long wait the fantastic rock&roll trio from Rochester is back to hang around with you! In this brand new studio album you will find all the reasons why they are considered the best in the genre!After a long wait the spectacular rock&roll trio is back to hang around with you. And... what a party they have in mind! In this new album you can find all the reasons why they are considered the flagship of the best american rock-and-roll. Looking back without being retro, The Hi-Risers combine the best and more genuine american (music) styles to create their sparkling own cocktail. Rock&Roll, Pop, Doowop, Beat, Surf, Country... Don't be shy, come by and hang around with The Hi-Risers! Your ecclectic friends have a little bit of everything for you... On Fire Hazard they will remind you to You Really Got Me and to the first generation american garage-punk bands of the mid 60s (who were themselves influenced by the British Invasion). Then, on tracks like All That The World Can Be or Way Back When they let their polite and gentle ways show, with reminiscences to the early 60s beach pop, the Everly Brothers or P.F. Sloan. More classic references can be heard on Watch The Monkees, where the band pays homage to (you guessed it) The Monkees! with a few guitar licks and hooks taken from them for their very funny song. There are hi-octane rockers too, where a clean Telecaster, bass and drums is all a rock&roll song needs (when they are played by the right guys!). Because The Hi-Risers are not only gentlemen with good taste, they are also extraordinaire players. Doctor's Wife, Jump Start, Pack All My Troubles, o Where's The Life Of The Party are good examples of that. And since an all-american blend is not so without a dash of country music, The Hi-Risers go yeehaw! with a honky tonk number that the masters of the genre (Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, George Jones...) would be proud of. Silver Saddle Motel, and a whiskey soaked broken heart. By now you're probably ready to hit PLAY (or spin the vinyl), but let's finish with one more, cause (I'm In Love With My) Record Collection is a declaration of principles. In it Greg and Todd tell us about their love for their records, a feeling many of you know well. And they're sure not talking about cloud players, podcasts, streamming or Sporkiffy here... they are talking 'bout the real deal, vinyl records with their fascinating 12' and 7' jackets that made us dream while the music played. Nobody remembers their first mp3, but everybody can tell you about the first record they bought or received for an early birthday. This is why Hang Around With comes out on 12' vinyl as well as digital and CD!! - from soundflattrax:
