Bellrays (The) - Heavy Steady Go *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 18th October 2024
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

Originating from Riverside, California, the BellRays have been mixing punk, rock and soul with the unique

authenticity that has made them who they are in today. "We created a band and music based on what we

love." - explain Lisa Kekaula and Robert Vennum, the founding members of The BellRays. The tradition

that the band continued over the last thirty years inspired them to infuse their influences. It's in their DNA.

The sound can be described by one simple formula: Emotion + energy = excitement. Their latest album,

Heavy Steady Go! strictly follows this rule but also, provides new coloring and shades to the well-beloved

formula. "We've heard ourselves described by some variation as 'Tina Turner fronting AC/DC' or 'Motorhead

meets Aretha Franklin' which comes with an expectation to be that every time." - explains Robert Vennum.

"We are expected to be something that does not exist."

This recording is split by two cities, two years and two badass rhythm sections: Mark Cisneros (bass) and

Ron Miller (drums) both from Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds in Tucson, AZ and later the return of

past drummer Craig Waters (Cody Chestnut, Andre Williams, the Countdowns) and newest arrival, Nico

Miles on bass recording in Riverside, CA produced by Lisa and Robert. Heavy Steady Go! is described by the

two as 'a festival in album form'. It's contrasting style mashups and musical collaborations between each

quartet is powerfully concentrated rock and roll." Robert and Lisa explain that with these songs "we pay

homage to Tom Petty, Bon Scott, Fleetwood Mac, Howlin' Wolf, Cheap Trick, Betty Davis, and dozens of

others that inspired this album.
