Artist description International Allies - Not McMusic - Slightly Advanced Garage Rock: this is how one might describe the brand ofdin the International Allies purvey. Others have been known to call it…other things. Regardless, the Allies’ sound is bound to induce salivation inthose who prefer a whole lot of grit in their musical diet.Living up to their name, the International Allies are a study in diversity:on Les Paul guitar, Marshall stack, and vocals is Army brat-world traveler,indie-noise enthusiast Joe Barker; his strings counterpart, government tool,art-rocker Tim O’Connor, plays a twangy strat copy through a Music Man headand a Sound City cabinet to create a strange death country sound. Comprisingthe Allies’ rhythmic backbone are hardcore afficianado and Boston homeboyMikey Arsenault on bass, and Zappa devotee, hot blooded Latino, and proudpapa of two Eddie Goicuria on skins.What tie binds this strange mish mosh, this unlikely motley crue (besidestheir employment at Home Depot, except for Tim, whose loyalty to rival Searshardware nearly tore the band apart)? What is the result of the mixing ofthese volatile ingredients in the cauldron of heavy metal, heated by theflames of punk, peppered with a dash of noise, stirred by the ladel of rock‘n’ roll? Come check us out and fill up on our tasty offerings. We promise,we ain’t no mac ‘n’ cheese.
