Started in 2004 by Tim Jones, Mathew Cass, and Shea Lange, Feel Never Real takes hard driving melodic rock into fresh, unpredictable territory and litters it with elements from numerous musical genres. The songs, memorable and emotionally rich are added to by their eclectic personalities and incredible passion for the material they create and play and their “all or nothing” approach to creating music, define their soul and purpose.
Texas bred and raised, they unleash “Rock Rebel Gold” via Pavement Entertainment April15th. Each year brings a sharper, crisper change to the band’s sound and style. With an edgier groove, they’re ready to bring a powerful presence to the stage with their own distinct “Rock N’ Roll” flavor.
Tim Jones spreads the southern rock gospel in a Nickelback meets Glen Danzig with occasional peaks of Chris Cornell heights in a mixed moonshine surprise with a bit of rockabilly charm tossed in. They churn out some of the best Texas flavored dirty rock n roll, jug swinging blues, hard chewed country and some rockabilly sass all rolled up real nice and smoked Rock Rebel Gold(en). Music for driving on those long highway trails, living the lifestyle with a loud, blood shot hell yeah!
Opener, New Rebel’s a rock and roll redneck celebration, beer clankin’ knocking back a few cold one’s before an ass kickin’ bar fight in the making. Thanks for coming and remember, be nice, until it’s time to not be nice. Trailer Park Princess comes from nowhere’s-ville USA with all the pre-reality show TV fixings and tell-all tabloid stories that gets celebrity status, the easy way. Her names Candy, living the double-wide dream, rules the hillbilly scene with a tramp stamp out back behind those tight jippered jeans. She made her reputation and legend on a pole, a true little darlin’ she is, on food stamps and blow.
They’re, Low Class-white trash, proud to be outcasts from the ritziest part of the low rent Texas district. Kiss My Ass is a pissed off shout out to every show-local trying to pick a fight on liquid courage and ‘suits’ trying to rule their world. D.I.I.X-Dinosaurs and young studious damzel’s into weird instruments on rock songs. Nuff said.
Someone’s Gotta Go pays tribute to Queen as the kick drum, hand clapper, shit kickin’ southern rapping gospel according to them and the We Will Rock You on the album. Friday Night on Stardust’s a smooth sipping rip rocking going strong with a few already in ya tune. Gonna get a little extra jazzed up this time, let the good vibes roll.
Hard Times Made Us, the guitars play like a blacksmith forging steel in a closed barn with loud thumping bass, paying dues and getting screwed (both good and bad).
Back in the Day’s acoustic story reminisces about the days of beginning hunger, with all that desire, no matter how many breakdowns, hang ups, setbacks and misfires. I Can’t Live is a strategically placed ‘heavier’ closer that’ll make you sit up and pay attention (not that you weren’t already), tossing the cowboy hat on the hook then smashing you in the face with a metal fist. Goodnight from Texas! Feel Never Real’s music is like finding pyrite, then realizing it’s really gold.
