Tristan

Currently working on new projects. In addition to an acting career, I love producing and exploring new avenues in music and art, many times becoming very Indie in the process. I often find that is where true artistic merit can be found- music that's not watered down by the size of the record deal(although that can be nice) or big bubble gum image, but by the raw passion of the work itself. Having performed and enjoyed every music genre from hard rock, blues, classical, folk, acoustic rock, standards, broadway and everything in between, I have arrived at an artistic crossroad. New songs will be available in the very near future.We had lots of fun making Chairman of the Bored. We played whatever we felt having no concern or worry about who approved or not. We just let loose. Many of the songs were about the war because we were writing at the same time, and being a veteran myself who is not a fan of the war, it certainly gave fuel to the writing fire. Especially in songs like VFW, Bombs Overhead, and Say Goodbye (which was dedicated to the victims of 9-11). There is a fight to these songs which really represents the rough road that we've walked in our past. Tunes like Fight West, When the Lies End, and Nothing at Stake really drive home that history. You'll find something interesting in each song the more you get lost in the album.Review on the album:"A hard rock album that is NOT like anything you have heard. Created and produced by Undercurrent (Tristan Thomas and Paul Krause) with the technical savvy of Grammy Award-winning engineer Matty Spindel of Santana and Motley Crue fame, and Multi Platinum Producer John Stronach(Kieth Moon, Joe Walsch, Reo Speedwagen), mixes up a rock album all rockers will appreciate. Rock scene fanatics will dig the bold vocals Tristan Thomas pours out with unrestrained soul, and the virtuoso-guitar riffology and string bending fervor of Paul Krause. If you like bands like Alter Bridge, The Cult, Shinedown, Steve Vai, or Joe Satriani, you will like this album."For purchase at any major online music source including iTunes.
