Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Topeka are all about the angular alt.Americana roots music of one Fletcher Harrington, the wonderful voice of Tanya Livingstone, and the multi instrumental talent of Brit Collins.The band has an unusual flavor, even though Harrington shares the vocals with Livingstone. Her vocals are a bit less dark and more conventional than Harrington's reedy, high singing.Collins makes the tracks sound even more strange with his use of various keyboards, including farfisa and mini-moog (Harrington also plays organ and piano). Keyboards often are the main instruments rather than guitars in these Country flavored songs. Sarah Kramer adds to the feel with trumpet on a few tracks. Their tales of lost love and loneliness have a spare sound, capturing a feel of regret and remembrance.

Product Description
Topeka is all about the angular alt.Americana roots music of one Fletcher Harrington, the wonderful voice of Tanya Livingstone, and the multi instrumental talent of Brit Collins. The songs slip from a straight ahead folky feel as evidenced on the opening cut "Another Brilliant Day" and the very catchy version of Pink Floyd's "Cymbaline," but in between there are some of the most inventive, well crafted, delicate songs that its been my pleasure to hear for years. From the dense metaphors of "Sliding Scale" to the closing aching love song "Ten Steps" there's unrelenting craftsmanship at work. On top of that there's also a clever inner structure at play with careful positioning of tracks based on tempo, feel, and pace. Fletcher is no ordinary song writer. His songs are undoubtedly based on a mix of personal experience, literary nuances, and personal melancholy. These tales of lost love and loneliness have a spare sound, capturing a feel of regret and remembrance. They do not seem written by someone who is satisfied, but rather by a man who is constantly searching and on the move. There is an unsettled beauty here, and visions of feelings that can never quite be resolved.

Album Description

On their self-titled debut disc, KAMCHATKA (an incredibly kool power trio "riff machine" from Sweden) deliver an awesome set (14 trax - 59 mins.) of heavy duty, get-down bluesy, cycodelic, authentic, retro-70's heavy guitar power trio "riffage" that is unbelievably killer. KAMCHATKA is brain-damaing beyond belief and the REAL deal when it comes down to outstanding killer power trio rock. KAMCHATKA features three amazing players in the form of Thomas Andersson on guitar & vocals, Rojer Ojersson on bass & vocals and Tobias Strandvik on drums. The band work together as a whole musical unit combining guitar-melting solos, slicked-up pseudo-Hendrix grooves with an incredibly powerful tight rhythm section to create a sound that is pure, convincing and all their own. Hitting hard with a fantastic, hard driving, raw, blistering, all-out musical assault and sounding like they landed from 1973, KAMCHATKA have legitimately created an authentic, classic retro-70's heavy guitar power trio vibe.

Thomas Andersson is an amazing gifted bluesy axeripper who makes a powerful musical statement on the guitar. His playing is right up there with the best of them. Serious heavy guitar freaks that are in tune with the Grooveyard know that we are heavily into and support outstanding Swedish axemasters like Clas Yngstrom (SKY HIGH), Emil Fredholm & Christian Neppenstrom of PLANKTON, Thomas Larsson, Janne Stark, etc. Thomas Andersson of KAMCHATKA is no exception and his killer guitarwork is in the same league as those awesome players. They take the guitar seriously in Sweden and stick to their guns (musical roots) without following the latest fads & musical trends. Swedish axerippers are all about the guitar and they know what time of day it is when it comes down to REAL guitar playing. There must be something in the water over there in Sweden!

The KAMCHATKA disc is HIGHLY recommeded to fans of HENDRIX (THE MAN!), TROWER, FRANK MARINO & MAHOGANY RUSH, CREAM, MOUNTAIN, JOHNNY WINTER, CACTUS, STRAY DOG, CAPTAIN BEYOND, BUDGIE and new school power trio players like ERIC GALES, WARREN HAYNES (GOV'T MULE) and FIREBIRD, to name a few. Imagine if FRANK MARINO & TROWER jammed with HENDRIX & CREAM in MAHOGANY RUSH-LAND and you start to get the "musical picture". Kamchatka are the REAL deal when it comes down to seventies guitar god rock and their awesome "live in the studio" version of "I Love Everybody" by JOHNNY WINTER is worth the price of admission alone and will make a true believer out of you.

The bottom line is that KAMCHATKA are the real deal when it comes down to classic, outstanding bluesy heavy guitar power trio rock and if you dig this super-sonic way-kool style of music, then look no further than the mega-awesome debut disc by KAMCHATKA. Exclusively released on GROOVEYARD RECORDS, a new label dedicated to outstanding TOTAL GUITAR music from around the world.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Very HENDRIX and very good.......2006-12-27

Not quite up to the standard of PLANKTON ( who is ), but not far behind. This is very much in the best tradition of CREAM / HENDRIX and other guitar 3 piece groups from the past. Saying that, these guys don't copy, they create. Although rooted in the classic bands from the past, their sound is more 2005 than 1970.
Getting better with every listen and should appeal to all fans of the aforementioned artists.

5 out of 5 stars heavy blues 70s style.......2006-08-16

Another winner from my favorite record label.This band offers up some amazing hevy guitar playing and the bottom is down and dirty.If you like cream mountain or frank marino this is for you.
