Saturdays Child have pushed the boundaries of acceptability since day one. With the success of their 2004 release Kill The Cat, (SLK Records) they went on to play countless cities across the West coast building a devoted following of fans. Their latest CD/DVD release Tour de Rauk, a 15-minute documentary with a music video and two new tracks, is a gritty, unabashed account of the band on tour and the antics that follow. With blazing live performances from San Diego to Seattle, they prove that night after noisy night, their music is best ingested live and loud.
Having played together for several years, the latest line-up of Saturdays Child adds even more energy to the infectious, melodic hard rock. Front man and primary songwriter Jason Schlarmann provides the vocal and guitar foundation. His brother James Schlarmann brings the bass lines with some backing vocals for good measure. Craig Lammers adds the second and crucial lead guitar layer; and Nick Sprankles maintains the steady beats of the drum-kit. This new chemistry has solidified a sound that is as much unique as it is homage to real rock n roll. With influences ranging from Green Day and Queen to Marvelous 3 and Foo Fighters, the band works to create a fun, raucous party for their fans.
Tour de Rauk captures the raw, atomic energy and emotion of Saturdays Child live shows. Recorded at Big Rock Studios and mixed by Carter William Humphrey, (Dr. Dre, Brian Wilson, Rod Stewart, Babyface, Bill Medley), the new songs come on the heels of some difficult and life altering events for brothers Jason and James. "The past year has been ridiculous," says Jason, and I'm glad this band is still around for us to use as a sounding board. The first new cut is "Jones in the Fast Lane," a song with plenty of 70s guitar-rock grit which borrows its title from an old video game. The punk influenced Bomb Shelter follows with gut wrenching lyrics and heavy hitting guitars and melodies.
Whether they're seen entertaining at legendary L.A. clubs like The Whiskey-A-Go-Go and The Mint, or carousing down in San Diego's favorite hangouts like The Kensington and The Jumping Turtle, Saturday's Child hopes that you will take away something more than a CD and a three-beer buzz from their shows. Then again, that's not a bad start.
A band you will remember on Sunday. -- Full Value Review
