Bryan Scary

[Scalzunfield]

This guy really hasn't hit the big time...yet. But his debut album "The Shredding Tears" is really, really good. Upon first listen, I only responded to the two tracks I'd heard prior to purchasing the album. But upon repeated listenings, it's obvious just how much work he put into the thing. He plays everything except drums on the album and, when trying to get down some of the chord changes/basslines/etc. of the songs, I'm miffed. Just some unreal talent. I'm still not entirely sold on the lyrics, but I'm sold on the album anyways. This album has drawn some comparisons to some really incredible albums (Sgt Pepper's, various Beach Boys stuff, among others).

 

And I guess he's doing his first official all-out tour this year in support of the album and I can't wait for his Louisville performance.

 

Bryan's My Space - Listen to "Blood Club" and "Ceiling On The Wall." Those two got me hooked.
