MAX VANREMMERDEN
A non pretentious do it yourself home recording autodidact from Amsterdam, Holland.Inspired by the attitude and philosophy by musicians like Jonathan Richman, Billy Bragg, Evan Dando, Joe Strummer and Ryan Adams on how to approach the creative process of making music results in a very unique singer/songwriter style.
A loosely played repertoire of plain tunes.
The lyrics deal with confusion, doubt, self mockery, emotion, sincerity, the split seconds we weigh up the pros and cons in everyday life decisions and the flies in the ointment in our existence.
Member of the Amsterdam Songwriters Guild

PRESS
La copertina di questo disco ha uno sfondo bianco con al centro un pupazzo della LEGO con i capelli lunghi biondi ed un bel chitarrone in mano. Trattasi della ironica rappresentazione ludica di Evan Dando, il biondissimo cantante dei sottovalutati Lemonheads e l’oggetto del cd tributo in questione. Questo cd lo si può acquistare direttamente sul sito www.evandando.co.uk ed il 35% dei profitti andranno alla ricerca contro il cancro. Alla compilation non partecipano nomi di spicco, ma questo non è tanto importante. Ciò che qui importa è lo spirito dell’iniziativa e la assoluta qualità di alcune reinterpretazioni proposte da questi semisconosciuti: Being Around con la (bella) voce e chitarra di Jason Appleby, Rancho Santa Fe rifatta in chiave dreamy da Lizze London, una irresistibile electro-banjo-clash Style di Max Vanremmerden , It’s About Time è troppo simile all’originale e senza il controcanto di Juliana Hatfield perde troppo fascino, ma Tenderfoot sembra rifatta dagli Husker Du e Hospital dai Franz Ferdinand.
