ALO Roses & Clover Competition
Tuesday, 29 January 2008
We have 5 copies of Jack Johnson's jam-rock mates ALO's brand new album Roses and Clover to give away!
Born from a childhood friendship and nurtured on the campus of University of California, Santa Barbara, the four-piece collective of Zach Gill (keyboards/vocals), Steve Adams (bass/vocals), Dan Lebowitz (guitars/vocals) and Dave Brogan (drums/vocals), more commonly known as ALO, found their musical roots in the feel-good vibe of the breezy California town.
After being reunited with collegiate cohort Jack Johnson - who not only invited the band to be the support act on his world tour, but also signed them to his label Brushfire Records - ALO made waves with the successful release of Fly Between Falls in 2006. Adding to their accomplishments, the guys had the pivotal opening slot on one of the year's highest-grossing tours with Dave Matthews Band.
The album's first track "Maria", is an anthemic and unabashed pledge of love. From the infectious keyboard hook to the passionate lyrics, "Maria" is instantly catchy and uplifting. "Zach played 'Maria' a year ago," remembers Dave. "I loved it as soon as I heard it and knew that it had to be on the next album."
Or take the album's title track, "Roses & Clover" - a lyrical gem combining a funk heavy back beat and fiery guitar solos depicting a safe haven where all can meet. In many ways, the sound of the band can be summed up in the playful imagery of "Roses & Clover."
"To me, roses represent maturity and clover youthfulness" says Zach. "After so much time exploring music together, our sound has become a blend of the classic and the contemporary."
