Album Notes

THE BAND
Evan Stone >> drums
Dustin Diamond >> bass
Scott Ireland >> guitar
Rosebud >> vocals

Formed by drummer Evan Stone in 2001, a combination of four very unique individuals gave birth to a pioneering new sound called Salty The Pocketknife.

Salty the Pocketknife takes progressive/ new-thing rock to the next level. You simply have to get a drummer of the caliber of Evan Stone in order to maneuver through very crisp and effective grooves and odd time changes; changes which certainly make their music original and absolutely left of center.

Apply the masterful technique and oddity of Scott Ireland on guitar and what you will find are melodic ear bending harmonies and lush chordal interplay that provides a strong basis for the Salty sound. Combine that with the searing vocals of Rosebud, who has been favorably compared with Fiona Apple, Chrissie Hynde and others, and you will be on the edge of your seat eagerly awaiting her next boisterous rant. Hear Rosebud just once and you will undoubtledly recognize her unique voice the very next time you hear it anywhere.

Finally, add Dustin Diamond on bass guitar, and you will get the complete, rounded and earth rumbling sound which makes up Salty the Pocketknife.

"Salty The Pocketknife powerfully demonstrates the ability to turn rock on its ear, fusing spoken word and melodic choruses, while juxtaposing well-played riffs with Rosebud's authentic and edgy delivery. Think of Patti Smith meeting Beth Orton." - - Orange County Register
