Check out some new Rock and Roll with Station from New York!

Station

We have another great rock band from the Rocklahoma lineup to tell you about. They are Station, and even though they sound like they are right off the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, to my surprise they are from New York.  You have Patrick Kearney on Vocals, Chris Lane on guitar, Mike Anderson on Bass and Brian Karl on Drums. I just got their CD “Wired” in the other day after returning from the craziness of Golden Gods Awards/That Metal Show, etc so I was glad to be back and looking forward to  new music.  First, when I opened the envelope, I pulled out the CD and really liked the Cover. It is simple but just screams ROCK.  Secondly, I opened it up to see some pictures of the guys and shots of them at live shows. These guys definitely have a great rock look to them and I was really excited to continue on as I  popped in the CD, hoping they wouldn’t disappoint.

Then, right off the start is their first song, “Everything”  that begins with some great guitar riffs. I am hoping the vocals are going to be just as good since so far these guys are right on target all the way!  Then Patrick Kearney comes in with his engaging vocals. YES! I am really excited now. This song just has a great summertime feel to it. I personally am glad to see all the 80’s rock sounds making a comeback and so are a lot of people. It was when music was fun and energetic and that is exactly what Station delivers. The song has solid drumming and great anthemic moments, definitely a hit.

“True Believer” is up next and hooks you in with the guitar riff and and great guitar  solos,  terrific melody and again incredible vocals. Station slows it down a bit with a true ballad,  “I’d Understand”  that really is beautiful and will have you swaying to the music with your lighter (or cellphone today) in the air.  This song reminds me of Warrant or Tesla ballads which I have always been a fan of.

Lastly, “Don’t take Heaven Away from Me” brings the energy back up and has high octane rock running through your veins. You really are left anxious to hear more! I think all in all the CD is Incredible and I am jealous of those who are going to see them at Rocklahoma. I am hoping they come out to California soon since they really have been surpassed my expectations!

Yes, I love my ’80s rock and roll but these guys not only have that great sound but they are perfect for today’s rock world as well. I can always tell the great music too, by when the next day after listening to them, I can’t find the CD. Only to find my 15 year old son playing it in the garage and letting his bandmates listen to it.  They are all rocking out! Definitely a win with this one and I can’t wait for more from Station.

Check out their video for their song, “Everything” and you will know what I mean:

Make sure to head over to their social media sites and keep up to date on their upcoming shows, buy their music, or just say “Hi”. We will see if we can get an interview with the band set up so you can know more about Station!
