Album Notes

"The Return of Rock!" Music presses recently tried to elevate garage-rock bands to headliner status by proclaiming that they were going to save the rock genre. They all came . . . and they all went. The problem? Songs. Or more specifically: the art of songwriting. Here is where Frank Enea's Makeshift Days comes in. From the opening acoustic intro of "Falling Out Of Bed" to the final track "Holding Back" (featured on the NBC hit show, "Ed"), the listener is reminded of artists like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Tom Waits, Coldplay and Radiohead. One thing these masters all have in common is their devotion and artistry to songwriting. While they have all varied musical styles they all have the drive and focus for each and every individual song they write, craft and record. Oh, and one more thing they all have in common: the live performances.

The one constant of lasting rock acts are the albums they produce AND their live shows which add a new layer of energy to the songs. Frank Enea on vocals and guitar, Jon Ellner on guitar and vocals, Paul Enea on drums, Alex Morell on bass, Peter Nebauer on keyboards. Frank Enea and Palace Laundry have recorded a soulful and melody driven album. Hear them, experience them. "The Return of Songwriting" is here. Again.
