MDNStore.CreativeCenters.com: Listen Through The Static

Description

Dubbed the 'Best College Band You've Never Heard Of' by Playboy, The Nadas have spent 13 years making their band a household name. As spokesmen for the One.org campaign (a campaign to make poverty history), the writers of Walk Away, the official elimination song on the Speed Channel's show Pinks, and finalists for Bon Jovi's 'Have a Nice Day' band competition, The Nadas have been steadily touring the country in Meatloaf's old tour bus, curiously dubbed...Meatloaf. Each release builds on a brilliant catalog of rock-meets-alt-country, and their ever-growing fanbase proves that their talent is truly authentic.

REVIEWS

"This is a great record, period. Listen Through the Static is an excellent account of modern day radio; its drowning in conglomerations, payola scandals still rock the industry and its so homogenous. But The Nadas are not, and this song is about what they are and the trials and tribulations they have gone through to make it in such a below board industry. Templeton Rye is perhaps the best song I have heard that describes an era of time. The mandolin sounding guitar and the soft undertones almost set a 1920's scene in black and white in your mind. The story behind Templeton Rye is as compelling as the song, and the song tells it. Templeton, Iowa, in the days of prohibitiion, was known for producing bootleg rye whiskey. Al Capone fed his speakeasies in Denver, Chicago and New York with Templeton's finest. A great line from the song: "We make it on our own, in the basement of our home, sell a little bit to Al Capone, he's got a mean, mean thirst.' Homage's to the River House Barn, out in back of the Heeter farm, all are accurate to the history of Templeton Rye. Listen to the song once and you will flat out be hooked. The album takes you on a great journey, some of it through time, some of it through a decade-plus career of a grass roots band that is hard to define or paint into a corner, and mostly soulfull, which is typically what you get with The Nadas. You won't be 'taking a chance' in getting this record. What you will be doing is indoctrinating yourself into the grass roots following that adores this group...and better yet, you won;t have to wait a few more years to hear more of their stuff. If this is your first Nadas forray, you can go back and buy some of their older stuff and be just as pleased. Don't call it a comeback; they've been here for years." -jdmiller71, Des Moines, IA
