 STOKE weblog.
================================================= Rave reviews keep on comin' ... From the September '02 issue of The Nerve Magazine (live review). "High octane rock." From Pat Slaney, Music Director 105.3 FM Fredericton, September '02. "An exciting band with the swagger and attitude of rock's past while embracing the future. The vocals have a whiskey-soaked honesty to them and make you believe. This sound is badly needed! Canada watch out because STOKE are going to be in your face very soon." New from March issue of The Nerve magazine : "STOKE shouldn't be new to you. If they are, shame on you, but fear not, redemption is close at hand. Their debut disc is available at all the finer local record stores, and not only have they pressed a killer disc but they've got enough sense not to overcharge you for it. This is a rawk record. The real creeping dirty, face-down in the ditch with mud in yer mouth rawk. Vocalist/guitarist Alec Macaulay has one of those smokin' gravelly voices that you can almost taste. Mule, on the skins, hammers those coffin nails home while Smash delivers sultry, dangerous bass lines, and scorching guitar riffs attempt to take yer skin off one layer at a time. So come on kids - no excuses. It's new, it's local, and it's ****ing good!" From the March issue of international glossy music magazine "Unrestrained!" : "STOKE are all skilled musicians and can rawk out like there is no tomorrow. The album has charisma and passion, there are a lot of great emotional highs. The music just reeks of attitude." Our full-length monster debut is available cheap via the band or at local indie stores - Scratch, Scrape, and Zulu ! ................ ================================================= "[One of] the best punk/alternative bands on the world wide web !" - Royal F**king Flush, January '02. "Wicked!!! ... a total 21st century blast of rawk !" - Nardwuar 'the human serviette', CITR / MuchMusic. "Do your best to see these guys play live!!!!" - Canadian Rock Radio. "Pound back a six pack of Black Label and crank the stereo up until the speakers smoke. Need more of a recommendation?" - Mike Usinger, The Georgia Straight "Killer! Great show. Talk about energy!" - Kory Burk, Ogre Studios. "Some people will love that it's rough and raucous and different. So far I'm not on board." - Trace Ventura, CFOX. "After years of searching I have found utopia. Great riffs backed by superior skills and showmanship." - Carl Fatman, Rockumentary Filmmaker. "These guys have a consistent vision, and it all moves together like a well-tuned musclecar. The thunder kicks in and you know where it's going. In a parallel universe, this is a big radio hit that becomes the defining sound of an entire year. Brilliant!" - G.R.Pohl, Dead City Radio / CFS, Edmonton. "Excellent Blues Rock!" - Curt West's Band Pages. ====================================================== STOKE playing infrequently on Xfm 104.9 in Vancouver !!! Request STOKE on Xfm !!
