John Moremen

"A true journeyman, Moremen has had a varied pop-oriented career, playing at various times with Half Japanese, The Neighbors, (Jimmy Silva's) Goat 5, and The Orange Peels (as their drummer!) in between his own solo side projects. While a powerhouse lead guitar player and more than capable songwriter, Moremen's proficiency at drums adds a lot of rhythmic backbone to his playing, adding an unmistakable quality to his fretwork that bolsters his soloing above the ordinary. Mind you, he is not a guitar wanker on the Malmsteen bandwagon. Moremen plays concise pop songs with a minimum of baggage but maximum hooks and brief, striking guitar leads that cut to the point and leave you breathless, wanting more. Even though Moremen seemingly gets too bogged down in other bands to put a full-length album together, this 4-song EP has a plethora of hooks and packs as much melodic wallop as anything put out today by the so-called power pop mafia. Very melodic and rocking."--scott homewood (aiding & abetting)*John is currently on Telecaster duty with ex-Flamin' Groovies frontman Roy Loney and playing drums with the free rock improv trio High Vulture (featuring MX-80's Bruce Anderson on guitar) as well as The Orange Peels.
