With Attack Of The Killer Whatever, Abiel Jaquez--known for his work as lead guitarist and backup-vocalist/songwriter for Demerit 7--has turned out one of the most exhilarating and gutsy solo projects in years. Operating under the guise of THE STORY OF A BOY, the first recording under his nom de rock was artfully executed with the help of every piece of technology in the world.
A triumph in every sense, the disc finds him where he belongs--out in front and wearing his heart proudly on his sleeve. From the urgent, three-minute firecracker “Got A Lot To Say, To Say I'm Sorry†that launches Attack Of The Killer Whatever, to the six-minute, lighter-ready opus “At Least Golddiggers Pretend To Love You,†the Denton, TX-bred, Northern Texas-based musician has created an accomplished and conscience-invading album. And while Demerit 7 fans will be delighted to know THE STORY OF A BOY is in the same musical realm, its debut doesn’t mirror the band Abiel played with in 2004-2006.
