HOOKSTRUMM

Hookstrumm writes and produces a unique blend of Acoustic alternative rock/pop. What you will find here is a commitment to writing songs that speak to a wide audience with various themes and have a "hook" - that something that grabs you and stays in your head. Listen and enjoy.Hookstrumm is now associated with Indie Label - Storm Sleeper Records in partnership with Acoustic Edge Publishing. Our goal is to primarily produce songs for video media projects. We are currently producing the remaining songs for our first full CD which we expect to finish by the Fall of 2008.Vic and Gary formed Hookstrumm in 2007 as a creative outlet. Both had been working together for years as IT specialists not knowing that each other had an interest in music.Once realized it became evident that the two had similar styles and musical influences. The two quickly began swapping ideas and learning the tools that make remote working possible for two writers. Vic lives in New Jersey and Gary lives in Rhode Island.The original concept for Hookstrumm was to establish a solid few sets of songs and groom a band for performance. With the realization that there are about 10 Million bands on myspace alone, that possibility is better left for the young and super enthusiastic. We've both been in that scene of struggling to establish a band and we prefer to write, produce and push our material into the hands of folks that can place the music to reach a large audience.Performing our material is always an option, but not one we are spending a ton of energy on at this time. We both are dedicated to our wives and children....about 7 at the moment between the two of us, so any touring we may do in the future will be very limited and certainly very selective.
