I am a member of the generation who survived and appreciated the musical storms and the fiery innovation of the 1960’s.  My generation opened the musical and artistic door to the generations of musical talent to who follow.  

Typically, I find most contemporary music lacking.  Most contemporary “music” is substantially lacking in terms of substance and foundation.  As a music consumer and advocate, I am looking for some thing edgy and that has enough bite to keep the lyrics and the musical theme running through my head for hours.  I need motivational, yet real music like the Stones, Metalica, ColdPlay, Led Zeppelin, Tower Of Power, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Talking Heads, the Doors and Carlos Santana.

WhoGas gives me that bite of raw musical meat and a little grizzle to chew on to boot. WhoGas provides that…hit it really hard driving beat - buoyed by a steamy combination of vocals and a guitar/ bass symbiotic relationship that I need to stay engaged.  With its hard core, nearly primal beat foundation, it’s smoky, whiskey bar lyrics, WhoGas delivers up a degree of musical talent and performance achievement which, in my humble opinion, is unparalleled in today’s musical venue.  This band has captured my attention and will go, yes…..will go far…these guys are the future of ROCK!

I think all of us at one point or another, especially those of us who are not teenagers anymore, feel that a lot of the new music coming out does not even shine a light to the music we grew up with i.e. Sublime or old Metallica, or even the music from our parents generation and preceding generations. Then every once in a while a band or an artist comes around that restores your faith in new talent and music. For me, right now, that band is WHOGAS with their recently released, self titled album. This album is the type of music that you can play while sitting in rush hour traffic and not be miserable because at least you your time is well spent enjoying good ass music. The individual musicians in this band are obviously both talented and creative so it makes sense that when they combined their skills the music becomes an eclectic and creative work of art. Additionally, the Lyrics are intelligent and relate directly to the real emotions we all feel and thoughts we all contemplate. This album is a purchase that will not be regretted. 
	Special note for men: There is one song on this album, For Lease, that I promise would touch any girl’s heart, especially a girl who can appreciate some damn good music. The lyrics are amazing and I feel reflect the words that any woman would want to hear. The music, which contains a glockenspiel (look it up), is serene and beautiful. Just listening to that song makes me feel like I am on the beach, with a Corona, next to a sexy man who is just adoring me. I can almost guarantee that if you play this song for a woman she will have a great reaction.    : )
