Album Review: 'Slow Me Down' - 3PM

BY: Bethany Zaccaria



Slow Me Down
Something New
Missed Call
Moving Day
Slow Me Down
At Least I Tried
Laser Tag
This is Right
My Soul On Fire
All Caught Up
Who We Are
Perfect For Me

3PM formed in the summer of 2012 in Baltimore, MD. They created their own melodic, fresh pop-punk/pop-rock sound. The band consists of a trio of friends. Brandon Millman (drummer) and Scott Montgomery (lead guitarist) turned to social media to find Brennan Stark (lead vocals and bassist). The group recorded their first album, Change of Plans, in early 2013, and simultaneously released their hit single, Perfect For Me. In mid-2014 the group headed back to the studio to record with well-known producer Paul Leavitt.

There is always something satisfying about listening to new music. Sometimes it’s hard to find, and sometimes it’s sitting right in front of you. 3PM, from Baltimore, MD, have recently released their new full-length album, Slow Me Down, in August. Their hit single, "Perfect For Me," has a unique sound with a pop-punk feel. Their album also changes style a bit with songs such as "My Soul On Fire," "Who We Are" and "At Least I Tried." The pop-punk, more upbeat feel appears in the songs "Something New" and "Missed Call." 3PM have a fresh sound and unique guitar riffs from song to song that keep your attention drawn, which is why I believe they aren’t another typical “pop-punk band." Even if pop-punk/pop-rock isn’t quite your style, I think 3PM definitely deserves a listen!

"It is with a heavy heart that we are forced to postpone our November European tour until April and May 2015 due a medical emergency. Nik tore his ACL and had to get surgery yesterday. His doctor made it clear to us that putting off the surgery could put Nik and his ACL in worse condition which will lead to an even longer recovery time. The good news is his surgery went well and he is now recovering at home. We are extremely sorry to disappoint anyone but taking care of this now will pave the way for an amazing and busy 2015. We love you and thank you for your everlasting support in our lives. See you April, complete details are on the way.

PS - we are also forced to cancel KOI Fest in Canada."

The Dirty Bourbon River Show and The Subtle Experience

BY: Meghan Laverty


The Subtle Experience

Free music on a Friday night. No other words sound as sweet together.

The genre of "Gypsy Brass Circus Rock" may sound confusing, but when you hear it, you understand the long-winded name. Dirty Bourbon River Show played at ArtsQuest Friday night at the Levitt Pavilion, (I'm a frequenter of this venue, and I'm always up for something new, but this Friday was particularly exceptional). The band had an array of instruments, from the typical rhythm section - drums and guitar...I didn't see a bass player - to some great brass, including a tuba! The band members seemed to all be a part of a secret red shirt club, seeing as they all wore the same red shirt. This little touch added both professionalism and charisma, showcasing the band’s chemistry and talent. They played a mix of originals and covers, giving a strong hour and a half-ish set. I liken them to a Southern U.S. version of Igor and the Red Elvises (Russian Surf Rock). I highly recommend checking them out, just as I will be doing.

Check them out at http://dbrs.bandcamp.com/music.

After Dirty Bourbon River Show finished their set, another band started at ArtsQuest's second outdoor stage. The Subtle Experience is improperly named. Their sound is anything but subtle. Classified as "Jazz/Hip-Hop/Bossa Nova," I was curious as to what they would sound like. I was not disappointed in the least. Their set started with a drummer and a guitarist. I'll admit I wasn't paying attention immediately until I heard what sounded like a saxophone. But remember, I mentioned only seeing two musicians onstage, neither of which were playing a saxophone. Holy smokes, Batman! The guitarist was creating the sax sound WITH ONLY HIS VOICE. Now, this sax was so spot on that I believed that it had been a recording or that the sax player was side stage. By paying closer attention to he guitarist, I could see his mouth moving to the same pitch as the sax. Absolutely incredible. With a talent like this, they didn't need many lyrics to entertain the crowd. Very few songs contained lyrics, actually. Most of the songs contained some form of vocal instrument, in addition to the instruments actually being played onstage. A bassist eventually joined the other two musicians onstage, while being accompanied by a "mouth trumpet" and what possibly sounded like slide guitar and a synthesizer, again played by this incredible vocal artist. If you can't already tell, I was immensely impressed. I definitely suggest giving The Subtle Experience a listen as well.

Check them out at http://thesubtleexperience.bandcamp.com.
