Since giving birth to Bravo\u2019s horrifying television show, \u201cPrincesses: Long Island\u201d, the island in the northeast is in dire need of redemption. As a native \u201cLong Islander\u201d and a female, I would prefer to not be associated with brainless brats with credit cards and instead have my stomping ground be known as the hometown of the Long Island rock outfit, NGBHRS. <\/p>\n
Consisting of Jordan Schneider (drummer), Ian Kenny (vocalist\/keyboardist), Tommy Fleischmann (guitarist) ad Eric Vivelo (bassist), the quartet will be dropping their debut full-length album, \u201cTwenty One Rooms\u201d, on July 16th. Just last week, NYLON Guys premiered the album\u2019s lead single, \u201cHold Up Girl<\/a>\u201d. The track, which will be a guaranteed radio goldmine, is a missing piece to the timeline of rock music. The transition from the unnervingly raw sound of grunge\/rock in the 90s to the infectiously cheesy sound of pop\/punk rock in the 2000s was far from smooth and left the rock genre severely disjointed. NGHBRS ease this gap by crafting a style that infuses rock\u2019s classic guitars riffs and vocal aggression with catchy verses and melodies. With a single play of \u201cHold Up Girl\u201d, you will be itching to get your hands on \u201cTwenty One Rooms\u201d. <\/p>\n To record the forthcoming debut, which follows the group\u2019s 2010 release \u201cHellomind\u201d, NGHBRS moved into an abandoned mansion, the former estate of American poet and journalist, William Cullen Bryant, on the North Shore Of Long Island in the fall of 2012. Living in a rumored haunted house with no Internet and no television, NGHBRS, along with producers, Bryan Russell and Dan Gluszak, created the 11 track album that has \u201cgot the goods\u201d to break through the pack of summer album releases. <\/p>\n \u201cTwenty One Rooms\u201d will be available to pre-order<\/a> on June 6th. In the meantime, you should familiarize yourselves with the tunes off of \u201cHellomind\u201d.
