To say the very least, there is a deep and buoyant sigh of relief when the avid music junky finds himself at the mercy of an unprocessed, to-the-point, authoritative rock band. To clarify, this does not include the polished and sometimes tarnished carbon copies sporting the latest suggested fashions, regenerating the previously recycled “alt,” resonance. In a more accurate description, this points to a band grown more organically with roots planted firmly in the essentials of rock and roll. And if you can’t remember the last time you saw a live band that seized your attention within the first 5 minutes of their set, then you haven’t seen Stack Magic.
Well equipped with blatantly gritty guitar hooks and contagious grooves, Stack Magic is the perfect antidote for entertainment rigormortis. Nathan Spears leads with unaffected ease delivering ripe vocal quality, euphonic guitar playing, and lyrical unpretentiousness. Rhythm guitarist, Mario Canido entangles fluently with the solid funk-laced style of bassist Royal Reed. Trigger wraps it up with solid “in the pocket” backbeats, which is, after all, the rock badge-of-honor.
When delving into their audio collection the “balls to the wall” type enthusiasts might want to start with “Passion City Blues” or “Sage Brush,” while the more relaxed listener may want to go with the mellow command of “Method Actor.” Angst driven patrons will most definitely find comfortable refuge in “Who I Am,” and “No Face To My Faith…” well, we’ll just let that song speak for itself.
Their live show is unmistakingly fresh and highly suggested to anyone who is on the verge of a music mental break down. The brand new self-titled debut release is now available on CDBaby.Com or by visiting the band’s web site at www.stackmagic.com. Ditch all pre conceived notions and just press play…the most unsuspecting Emcee will take you from there.
