Album Notes
Earshot: Wil Martin (vocals, guitar); Mike Callahan, Scott Kohler (guitar); Dieter Hartmann (drums).Additional personnel: Guy Courtier (bass).Recorded at Hensen Recording Studio, Hollywood, California.Personnel: Will Martin (vocals, guitar); Mike Callahan, Scott Kohler (guitar); Guy Couturier (bass guitar); Dieter Hartmann (drums).Audio Mixer: Andy Wallace.Recording information: Hensen Recording Studio, Hollywood, CA.Sure, the four heavy rockers who make up Earshot have obviously listened to their fair share of Tool. What 21st century hard rock band worth its Marshall amplifiers doesn't wear its influences proudly, whether its hip MC 5 updaters like the Hives and White Stripes, or these young lads? Though earshot utilizes Tool-like crunching, constricted riffs and Will Martin's measured-but-passionate vocal style bears more than a passing similarity to Maynard James Keenan, Earshot leans more toward an accessible, radio-ready nu-metal style than the quirky prog-metal eccentricities of the older band. And though the tempo on LETTING GO occasionally slows to a bluesy stomp, one has to admire the aesthetic integrity implicit in the band's refusal to throw a token ballad a la Staind. Relentlessness is sometimes its own reward; especially in heavy rock.
