Dead See Life – “Road Of Grace”

My fellow cohort, Jason Fresta, just released his brand new CD! “Road Of Grace” by Dead See Life is a mix of hard and acoustic rock and, in my humble opinion, it sounds amazing. Jason is a fantastic singer, guitarist, bassist, and songwriter who I’ve had the pleasure of working with on numerous projects. I contributed bass guitar on two “Road Of Grace” tracks: “Even Though,” and “Running Away”.

dead_see_life-road_of_graceJason pulled no punches on this album. These are ten of the most personal, honest, dark and gritty tracks I’ve heard in a long time. I don’t think it’s fair for me to review this record since I’ve been familiar with the material for years, but I highly recommend that you pick up a copy. The recording is top-notch, the production is phenomenal, and it was ingeniously mixed by Tarik Solangi at Prime Time Sound Studios.

You can catch Jason as the front man for The Dead Elvi at the Chiller Theatre Expo right now in Parsippany, NJ!

Recent Works

OK, I’m generally pretty terrible at promoting myself. But some projects that I’ve been working on for the past couple of years have been making waves recently. Last week, three artists I work with have released music videos. I figured it’s due time that I dust off this site and post something.

First off we have my good friends, Jay Love & The Avid Record Collector, with an amazing video directed by Jay Love himself. The song is called “Today (A Tribute)” and it’s a shout out to all the greats that have influenced them along the way. Aside from making lyrical references to some of Jay’s favorite tracks, his lyrics speak on a subconscious level about the current state of hip hop, and the absence of respect of the genre’s history and roots by its current players. Avid’s beat is an instant classic; it’s catchy and you won’t easily be able to resist bobbing your head to it. Now while I am collaborating with this crew on Jay Love’s solo album, I didn’t work on this particular track. However I did assist in the process of getting this video on mtvU’s “The Freshmen” where it aired for five consecutive days and earned an overwhelmingly positive response from viewers.

Next up we have a video from my friends, The Buckwheat Groats. If you’re not sure who they are, be sure to go and check out some of their hilarious videos on FunnyOrDie. These guys blend comedy and hip hop like artisan mixologists. I had the honor of mixing and mastering the track for this music video. It’s probably Not Safe For Work, and it might even be considered by some to be racist. Really, it’s just a tribute and these guys don’t hold anything back for a laugh. Shot on location in South Korea and points East, here is “Swag Like An Asian”.
