MP3 Unsigned - The Best MP3's from New and Unsigned Artists

The very talented and charismatic Monti Hannah on lead
vox, and the creative energies of guitarist/songsmith,
Andy Era, offer an overwhelmingly appealing brew of
sublime vocal melody mixed with infectious hooks and
riffs.

Monti Hannah (lead vocalist / songwriter from
Monticello, IN) meets Andy Era (Los Angeles native and
former vocalist / guitarist for RPB), and embark on a
winding path of musical searching which eventually
leads to an acquaintance with legendary Jack Endino
(Nirvana / Hot Hot Heat / Babes In Toyland), who mixes
and masters the debut album to be released in Summer
2005. Also, in March of this year, the band completed
their debut video for their first single, “Shimmer
Cell,” in Los Angeles CA under the direction of
“Rochester Film Festival,” Award Winning Director, Tom
Oesch.

Due to these recent developments, Star Apple Theory,
(forming just one year ago) are undisputedly poised to
hit the music industry with a powerful and prevailing
momentum! In addition to Monti/Andy, the band line-up
consists of 15 yr. old wonderkid, Stephen Davis on
drums, and 19 yr. old Tom Dufour on bass.

Regarding the songwriting team consisting of
Hannah/Era, Monti says, “Without the two of us
together, the sound of our music would change
drastically." Indeed, where most of today's top acts
are prone to slavishly over-produce, Star Apple Theory
is determined to maintain their individuality, and
possess a magical, raw chemistry that would be
difficult to imitate.

“Monti Hannah is clearly both talented and sexy. The songs are super mellow to noisy rock. The band is working with legendary producer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Babes In Toyland), so hopefully with a little guidance, their full length will be an amazing product.

It is - after all - rock music of the old standard albeit performed at 1,000 miles an hour. Obviously having a three person lineup will affect the sound, but it doesn't stop this band kicking up a hell of a racket and - to be honest - I found myself liking this eccentric little track (it's only 1:54 long) a lot. It took a bit of getting into, mostly because of the roughness of the recording, but once into the Gilmore brain, World Made Me sounded as good as any other 'anthem' of abused youth.” -Mp3Unsigned 2005 By Steve Gilmore Reminds me of the wonderful Patti Smith. Great drums and grinding bass, superfantastique fuzzy guitar at end, builds nicely. Let us know if yo play in England - We'll be there!
