Five Song E.P. by Greg Cherone

Indeed, the entire production shows a strength of character that can only be derived from a greater sense of what you have to offer the world. All of the songs are stripped back to basics; Greg obviously no longer feeling the need to hide behind the bravado of full on heavy rock, instead choosing to embrace a warmer, mellower and altogether more innocent format to his songwriting; with the emphasis placed heavily on vocal harmonies. It's all there in one tight little package: the anthemic 'Birth of Rock n'Roll,' the ode to skirt chasing 'Cara Ann,' blues-rock ballad 'Some Kind of Amnesia,' the AOR of 'Just Good Friends' and finally, the finest of the five, 'A Humarock Song'; conjuring up hazy memories of summers past; definately one to cruise to with the top down (do people actually still say that?!). All of the songs are written by Greg and composer/percussionist John Saliba. Except for 'A Humarock Song' which sees Greg collaborating with his brother Gary. Indeed, all of the Cherone brothers are present here as Mark takes guitar credits on four of the tracks.

To hear samples or purchase mp3's of your very own, head straight over to iTunes. And, for those of you who yearn for the glory days that were the 1990's, the band members formerly known as ATUNGA recently announced plans to release their own independent CD [myspace.com/Atunga] - enjoy!"

"OK! Let's make this clear once and for all.

Yes! Greg Cherone is the brother of Gary

(Ex-Van Halen/Extreme), and No! He's not

trying to sound like his brother of Extreme.

They are obviously both inspired by the late 70's

rock of Queen and such. Not that strange either

since they were brought up in the same house.

They were bound to hear what the other was

playing on the stereo .. one way or another

(turn down that crap you piece of ... ).

Boston folks may also remember him up

front for the band Atunga. These songs are

all of good quality. Musicians include yet

another Cherone on lead guitar (Mark of

okpanic), Stephen Powell on bass, and

Steve Catizone on piano.

Greg's voice is definitely up there along

with his bro' and the music is heavily

inspired by the 70's. It's not heavy metal

for sure but rather basic rock with soul

and warmth."

A HUMAROCK SONG

"The song itself evokes James Taylor's

early work, with its laid back, easy rolling

verses, and Greg's clear, buttery baritone.

And the tone of personal reminiscence is

impossible to miss."

Jay N. Miller -The Patriot Ledger
