“Derek Comley is quite simply one of the most innovative and promising young artists to crawl out of the subterranean depths of the American underground indie scene. Influenced by rock'n'roll, early punk, swing, dub, reggae, hip hop, surf, and latin influences. The lyrics are insightful, clever, and socially conscious with a vocal delivery that is raw, emotional, and extremely engaging, never whiny or over the top. Joe Strummer, Iggy Pop, and Elvis Costello are obvious influences.” — Mi2N While looking for something to do tonight, I stumbled upon the MySpace for local act"The iLL Caminos." Intrigued by the band's self-description as "new wave, neo-soul,post-punk," I listened to the available songs and found myself wanting more. Seems Comley is one interesting guy. He mixes Tom Waits and John Lydon without coming off as arty or uptight. Songs like "Have-Not," "Reckless Dreamers" and "Ballad of California" are solid rock songs that feature elements of swing jazz played at the volume of old-school punk. Comley and crew have been playing around town since 2006, which makes me feel sad for missing out on them for so long..” — Daryl Smyers, DALLAS OBSERVER “When you are hanging out with Derek Comley you instantly feel like you are in the presence of a - James Dean kind of cool. With the swagger of a young Bob Dylan, rockabilly style, and the use of a bold blend of genres such as rock, reggae, punk and ska - Derek Comley is easily one of the most intriguing musicians in the Dallas/Austin indie rock scene. In today's music industry new artists struggle to find their niche in a market saturated with overly produced, bubble gum pop - TV sensations. Derek is none of that; in fact he the refreshing antithesis of such fabrication. ” — Amberly Russell, deepellumonair.com We experienced Ha-Foo. This is some experimental people music. Its like some strange part of the universe landed inside the heads of these three guys and came up with some honest musical talent with a unique angle of observing and commenting about the ordinary things. Daniel Estrada is 3/4 freaky genius on guitar and 1/4 character actor as he performs on stage. He talks and sings right to the crowd almost to each individual and invites them to join him in his conversation about life. New member of the band Roberto Cruz was a class act with every lick he gave to answer the comments of Estrada. It rang of Santana and Django Rienhardt and I wanted to hear and see more as the show went on. It was great how much fun these three have on stage like kids at home when mommy and daddy are out of town. Paul Downs on the drums has the cleanest Jazz taps sewn together with heavy and perfectly timed multiple strikes of his bass/kick drum that are impossible without three legs and feet. I met him, he only has two.So what the f’ is he hitting that drum with? “Oh Walt” was my favorite but there was so much going on that I felt like a got two shows worth. “Shifts and Culture” is anothe rmind blowing adventure with lyrics like “The leaves of the trees mimic the veins in your arms” imprinting an image onto my young brain that I won't forget. -David Landers BAND REVIEW Corey Howe, a uniquely talented and genuine soul, is a welcome relief from an industry heavy with the flat, unfeeling and prepackaged. He began playing guitar on an old Japanese Hummingbird, and literally singing for his supper while traveling in New Zealand. His reaction to his own living experiences in his society, with his family, and within his relationships inspire the majority of his songwriting. Drawing from musical influences as diverse as Ryan Adams, Bob Dylan, Jeff Tweedy and My Morning Jacket, Corey’s sound reflects the depth in simplicity heard in traditional American folk and country music as well as the energy and sincerity of real rock’n'roll. He has been fortunate to be able to collaborate with artists from all over the country, and the diversity of his still in progress recordings, match the intensity of his writing and performance. -Stephanie Moore, DALLAS OBSERVER DALLAS — There is no shortage of quality country/rockabilly bands roaming the DFW music landscape these days. It is probably the deepest genre in terms of pure talent in North Texas, with new and exciting bands seemingly popping up each month. Don’t believe me? Try taking a walk around the bars and venues in Fort Worth. It’s nearly impossible not to find at least one intriguing country group rocking out nearly every night of the week. However, few of those bands are gaining as much attention as Noah Caveny and The Marfalites are right now. Their music is a fresh take on a classic country sound. It’s got all the deep toe-tapping rhythm of Cash-era country music and the attitude of modern rockabilly. And people are starting to take notice. Josh Hogan- Pegasus News, Dallas Texas Self-taught in both piano and guitar, Ryan O’Hara incorporates a wide variety of electronic synthesis, effortlessly blending genres to find his own niche in the musical world. Utilizing his studies in philosophy as well as his classical music theory background, Ryan's music paints a picture that is vivid and engrossing, masterfully weaving a wide range of influences spanning metal to electronic and psychedelic. "The Lattice Cyclical" pulses and flows with the dawning light of new worlds and shining hopes and "No One Is Left Who Remembers" draws the listener into a somber world of loss and memory. It is my pleasure to include this new young artist in our project. Brent Duncan - Director at Tribe Films LLC
