“BILLY DUFFY, JACK EDWARDS, JEFFERSON ANGELL” AKA ‘THE CULT’ / ‘PISTON’ / ‘WALKING PAPERS’ TRI-HARDER for ‘HARD-BLUES-ALT-ROCK’. IT’S SO EASY. Words n’ Live Images: john Brott

‘BILLY DUFFY’, the British Born Guitarist/Artist Leader of ‘THE CULT’ (www.thecult.us) or (www.billyduffy.com) has brought to The Concert Stage a Display of STUNNING Guitar Techniques n’ Tones unequalled yet practiced n’ Gifted by his Leadership of Hard/Blues/Alt/Rock Styles to other Guitarist/Artist Players. Essentially All his Best Tones are via His GRETSCH Guitar (www.gretsch.com) and It’s All About to Kick In Again with the Competitive Catalyst of Two Tenacious Hard-Blues-Alt-Rock Super Groups, both Styled in the Eye of Billy. One from the UK, just outside of Cannock ‘PISTON’ (www.pistonuk.com) the other from the Northwest of America, Seattle-Tacoma, ‘WALKING PAPERS’ (www.carryonmusic.com ).

‘JACK EDWARDS’ the Lead Guitarist of ‘PISTON’ is also a British Born n’ Raised Rising Star with a Brilliant Live Performance that only the finest in Hard-Blues-Alt-Rock Groups have, therefore making ‘PISTON’ (www.pistonuk.com) one of the True 24/7 Leaders of a New-Wave-of-British-Classic-Rock. ‘PISTON’ with Jack Displays with his Gretsch, a Style Similar if imagined to that of Slash n’ The Empire of ‘GUNS N’ ROSES’ (www.gunsnroses.com) again as if Seattle’s ‘DUFF MCKAGAN’ (www.duffonline.com) is on BASS who Played Deep into the Groove on the First Papers Album of 2013.

The Seattle Leader of ‘WALKING PAPERS’, ‘JEFFERSON ANGELL’ (twitter.com/@AngellJeff) is a Keen ‘Billy n’ Ian’ Disciple with his Smooth Jack Kerouac Custom Layla Lyrics n’ Sonic Wild Bunch Pumps with a ‘GRETSCH’ in ‘WALKING PAPERS’ (www.carryonmusic.com) and definitely Style Influencers Equal in Verses to that of America’s Number 1 ‘RIVAL SONS’ www.rivalsons.com and their Latest Album ‘Feral Roots’, a Killer Studio Master’s Mix of Electric Live Dates.

‘WALKING PAPERS’ are Beautiful n’ Clever in Full Compliance as Music/Artists Driving the ‘Super Group’ Night Train of Both Seattle n’ Tacoma in a Post-Seattle ‘Music-Scene’ still evident in the Established ‘LONDON BRIDGE RECORDING STUDIOS’ (www.londonbridgestudio.com) where ‘SOUNDGARDEN’ (www.soundgardenworld.com) and ‘PEARL JAM’ (www.pearljam.com) with the help of a ‘NEVE’ Console, (www.neve.com) as tuned by Rick n’ Raj Parashar, Developed their Sonic Temple of Spirals. Other Seattle Influences are inclusive of ‘CANDLEBOX’ (www.candleboxrocks.com) and ‘ALICE in CHAINS’ (www.aliceinchains.com).

There is also ‘MYLES KENNEDY’ (www.myleskennedy.com) absolutely Soulful in captivating with a Spokane, Washington Spin, Seattle’s Hard-Blues-Alt-Rock/Sub-Pop/Soul History with hints of ‘THE MISSIONARY POSITION’ Vibe, yet another Super Group by Jeff n’ keyboard player of 14 Years Benjamin Anderson (@themishposishon on www.facebook.com ) at times categorized after Jeff’s First Band ‘POST STARDOM DEPRESSION’ disbanded then ‘Missionary Position’ calibrated into ‘Walking Papers’ with a Hemi Powered Side Project ‘STATICLAND’ with Seattle Superstar Joshua Fant on Drums replacing Barrett Martin.
