Tony Clark and Killing Time


Tony Clark and Killing Time release their latest EP - When I´m In My Car on Vanity Music Group

( Frankfurt, Germany, July 2013 ) . Seattle native singer and guitarist Tony Clark has released the 5 track EP with his new band „ Tony Clark and Killing Time“ through the US label Vanity Music Group - produced in Germany and has “Achtung!  Rock!” indelibly engraved on every track.

In much the same way as the automobile industry of “the Fatherland” is renowned for precision engineering and quality, this musical vehicle has all the attributes that make you want to drive it again and again and again.

Tony (Vocals and Guitars) & cohorts; Emil Brigada (Bass) and Sascha Baransky (Drums) have an established musical pedigree covering a true plethora of genres and together they produce a big, BIG sound that will not endear you to the neighbors because this offering is best heard with the amp cranked and the CD player battened down.

Track by track it goes like this:

Listening to When I’m In My Car could lull you into a false sense of security with its laid back, cruising groove however, Tony’s solo slicing in from left field like an airborne scalpel serves as a writ for what is about to come.

Stupid (TONTO) was written with one of the world’s many prolific, political warmongers in mind and whilst he shall remain nameless here so as to avoid embarrassing George Bush for selecting him as Vice President, this is one angry track with the combined rhythm engine punching and kicking you into submission from start to finish and the guitars completing the proverbial full frontal assault. Somewhat unusually, the lyrics are in (language) and even if you don’t speak (language), Tony’s venomous delivery leaves you in no doubt that forgiveness is not on the agenda.

With the opening line including those loving words “you’re a slut”, the tone for She’s At The Center of Her World is set and the song rocks through a lighthearted look at the shopping excesses that drain the will to live from many a good man or woman.  In fact, you could even be forgiven for thinking this could be personal and you just know that you can relate or?

In stark contrast to the previous track, there is nothing lighthearted about any aspect of I Am The Dirt.  The sedate opening is shattered by the band at it’s most convincing and it’s clear the guys are doing anything but “killing time”.  This is a solid slab of rock with a chorus you will be hooked on before the final note.

Fat Girls In The Pool is the perfect way to round off; nothing like a debauchery themed song with what could be pharmaceutically influenced lyrics to finish the session and this song takes you straight off the high board until your dragged out the other end.

Bottom line, this band is as tight as an otter’s ear and there’s something here for even the most discerning rock fan so do yourself a favor and buy it.

Band Description
Tony hails from Seattle , but although the dark, brooding, wet and moisty sound that is associated with Post-Grunge is a big part of his style, his musical ventures into Indian music and Latin music have added colors to his style.

Sounds cliche but to me, it’s the only way to live.
Who says we can’t accomplish the endeavors we imagine? I say go against the grain and discover a life that would never be known if you didn’t commit to the journey.
– Nutzo
Nutzo’s phenomenal work ethic is unmatched. Nutzo excels in all aspects of music with his alter ego “Clark Kint” producing tracks like “Put it Down” and “They ain’t Ready.” This talented artist has also opened up for the likes of E-40, Tech N9ne, Pretty Ricky, Durrough, YG and is on ITunes with Lazy Bone of Bone Thugs and Decadez from Sick Wid it Records.

One thing Nutzo never wanted to be was average. If he was going to do music, it had to be something great, something he put his heart and soul into.

Leather Bag (feat. Damon Elliott) son of Dionne Warwick
Download »Stream »
Erwan is a French DJ, born in Paris, author and music producer graduate from Berklee college of music.
The music he creates falls mainly within the EDM genre with touches of progressive house and electropop.
In 1991, he decided to deepen his knowledge of Shakespeare's language, which lead him to San Diego State University, Lewis Clark State College in Idaho, then to Edmonds Community College in Seattle and finally to Cancun in Mexico.
Back to France in 1994, his instinctive desire to share through music led him to organize countless parties in the most prestigious Parisian nightclubs over the next ten years... He often organized, DJed or acted as musical director during parties in numerous renowned establishments in the capital.
In 2008, he began to study music composition and songwriting. He then met French songwriter David Manet with whom he learned composition for two years, enabling him to acquire a solid foundation as well as the tools required to better manage his ideas. Then, in the same spirit, he pursued a whole curriculum in songwriting, together with composition and electronic music production courses, at the Berklee College of Music.
Early in 2013, he began work on his first album, entitled "Change the game". His friend David Manet helped him with the composition and they worked for over two years to complete the first nine songs.
The vocals were recorded in early 2015 in Palm Studio, Las Vegas. Damon Elliott (son of Dionne Warwick), the album's executive producer, was keen to perform two titles (Leather Bag and Don't google my brain); Stayc Reign sang Kiss the Stars and The ship is sinking, Aveyron, Kleenex Generation and Trash TV. My mailbox got the blues was performed by Zay, Turn on the green life by Manny and He's my baby by Sydney Fuller Marr.
The video clip of the first title of his album - Leather bag - was filmed in Saint Tropez in July 2015 by young director Laurent Lefebvre.
The launch of Leather bag on many radio stations and most distribution platforms is scheduled for the end of January 2016.
