Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to rock? Are you ready to have the greatest concert experience of your life? I know I am. Herbcraft is here to give you that awesome experience. Their new album Wot Oz is definitely perfect for the people who lived through the sixties and those who simply love the music. Mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk, Wot Oz will take some of you back to the days of Woodstock and make you relive some of your greatest memories.

We’re Gonna Make It sounds like the opening of a 60’s rock and roll concert. Fit Ur Head is hypnotic and will leave you feeling a little dizzy. Au’s Nation has a psychedelic kind of sound. That’s also true for Push Thru the Veil. The drums, guitars and background vocals make Push Thru the Veil a fun track that fans will dance to. No More Doors has more of a calmer sound but just as mesmerizing as Fit Ur Head.

Finally, we have the hyper and out of this world track Bread Don’t Rise. This is a track that embodies 60’s rock. There is so much energy and excitement in this track. The wildly played guitars and drums, and the singing and screaming vocals make this song so much fun that fans will absolutely love it. This is not a song you can listen to while sitting down. When you hear this, you will feel the urge to dance.

Although Wot Oz has a 2015 release, it has the uncanny sound of the 1960’s. You don’t have to be a child of the 60’s to appreciate this unique style. Wot Oz has a fun sound, and anyone who listened to the music of the 60’s will definitely appreciate the similarities. I loved every minute of this album and I know Herbcraft’s fans will too. With the exception of the background vocals, this album is entirely instrumental. Most songs manage to make an impact on their listeners with their powerful lyrics. However, Wot Oz can do just that with a guitar and a set of drums and that is truly impressive.

I love to write and have been doing so since the age of eight. Fictional stories have always been a favorite of mine, because it gives me a chance to be creative and to express myself in a multitude of ways. On more than one occasion, a song proved to be the inspiration to several stories I have written. Believe it or not, some of those songs were on soundtracks! That’s mostly what I listen to, aside from hits from the 1950’s up to the 1980’s. I’ve learned that anything can be the inspiration to a story, even a poster from the 1990’s or a DVD cover.

I’ve lived in Upper Marlboro all of my life and spent much of my childhood watching cartoons of all kinds, and listening to my older sister’s cassette tapes. Growing up, I listened to everything Jackson related, Paula Abdul, Elton John, and even the controversial group Milli Vanilli. As a teenager, I continued to listen to old-school hits and that was pretty much all I liked, aside from listening to all of Michael Jackson’s music. To this day, I still love old-school hits. That hasn’t changed.

I own a variety of CDs from artists such as Styx, The BeeGees, Michael Jackson, Queen, The Yellow Submarine Soundtrack, and many others. When a soundtrack comes out, there will always be one specific song from that album that I’ll love. It never fails.

I’ve graduated from Bowie State University in December 2013 with a B.A. degree in English.
