Someone told me: Listen to Joe Gande and tell me what you think. If I were asked my opinion in one word, I would say without a doubt, PASSION. This intense musician and composer from New York, gives new definition to the word passion in each of his songs. With a strong voice is striking for its intensity and claw to pluck the notes of his vocal cords, but it is distressing beyond description in his notes printed tons of causing intense feelings aside whatever you are doing, to go into its world of sounds and harmonies. Joe Gande melts in his songs the intense feeling of the blues with the passion of rock, creating a unique sound, electrifying disturbingly alien and organic, fresh, challenging way to make everything rock music, although it has a light scent to rock old. Also shows the sensitivity, as expressed by apparent honesty, his love life. Listen, I inevitably drag to immerse yourself in a mystical world of strength and passion, through which you can enjoy an endless flow of intense feelings percolating your senses.
Original In Spanish:
Joe Gande: un músico apasionado. Alguien me dijo: escucha a Joe Gande y dime qué opinas. Si me pidiera mi opinión en una palabra, le diría sin duda alguna, PASIÓN. Este intenso músico y compositor neoyorquino, le da una nueva definición a la palabra pasión en cada una de sus canciones. Con una voz potente que llama la atención por su intensidad y garra para arrancar las notas de sus cuerdas vocales, resulta angustiantemente indescriptible pero imprime en sus notas toneladas de sensaciones intensas que provocan dejar de lado lo que sea que se esté haciendo, para adentrarse en su mundo de sonidos y armonías. Joe Gande funde en sus canciones el intenso sentimiento del blues con la pasión del rock, creando así un sonido único, electrizante, enajenante y perturbadoramente orgánico, fresco; desafiando todo modo de hacer música rock, a pesar de que tiene un aroma ligero a rock antiguo. Muestra además, su sensibilidad, pues expresa con evidente honestidad, su amor por la vida. Escucharlo, te arrastra inevitablemente a sumergirte en un mundo místico de fuerza y pasión, a través del cuál puedes disfrutar de un caudal interminable de sensaciones intensas filtrándose a tus sentidos.

As hard to describe as his voice is the music that he and Ostberg (along with Kevin Bregande on drums, James B. Gately Jr. Guitar, Craig Shrawder on Keyboards) create. The music that is unbelievably unique. I was describing one song to a friend, and explained the cool melody and heavy riff, and then explained how a muted trumpet pops out of the right speaker. He smiled and0 said, "Cool" but I know he was thinking, "huh?" It's like Sly Stone singing with the Black Crowes. There is also a part of the sound that can only be described as "New York". It's a jazzy, fretless vibe that mixes in occasionally that makes you smile at such a collaboration (and then makes you wonder why you didn't think of it first). By the last song you're going "this is so TGS."

Joe and crew did something very smart. They saved (and saved) their pennies and went to a top line studio, got it mastered, and mixed so that you will have to ask yourself multiple times, "This is an indie band?" The songs are mature, with phenomenal arrangements, and do something else (with a complimentary nod to the 70's) they spread their stereo W I D E. You got a left and right speaker. Why not use them? After you get done listening to the car on the way home, put on a pair of headphones and listen again. It's very cool.
