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.

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.
Besides playing sports growing up he has been into music the majority of his life. Hailing from the small town of Bakersfield, Ca, Nutzo has become versatile writing not only Hip-Hop, but creating songs in other genres as well including Pop, R&B and Country. 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.
