Album Notes

About the Album:

The band worked on a little over twenty cuts and then scaled it down to a ten song debut record that comes in under forty-five minutes. The Cohorts are of a dying breed of musicians who don’t mind when a guitarist sounds like a guitarist and a guy sounds like a guy. This will likely frighten and offend some listeners which pleases the band to a great degree.

People complain that every song on the radio sounds the same. With this album it was hard to get the running order because hardly any two songs sound like a twin of another. Yet, the package comes off as one cohesive body of work.

James Thorogood and Matt Clavette, the two front men of The Cohorts have been heavily influenced by good seventies rock, so that wouldn’t include most of your disco. The influence of early and mid 90’s bands such as Pearl Jam, Sloan, The Refreshments, Fastball and the Wallflowers may also come through to some listeners. Everyone seems to have a different spin. It sounds familiar, but somehow fresh.


Your Complimentary Band Bio:

The Cohorts were formed in late 2003 after James Thorogood decided to change his solo project into a band project. Dave Raude played bass from the start, Matt Clavette was the lead guitarist and fill in drummer. After several drummers came and went the band settled on Marc Gibson in the spring of 2005.

The Cohorts simply play Rock that offers no apologies for being what it is.
