Carousel - 2113 (CD)

Vinyl LP pressing. 2015 album from the Pittsburgh hard rock heroes. The eagerly-anticipated follow up to Carousel's revered debut, Jeweler's Daughter, 2113 is a midnight binge-blur of muscular, dynamic R'N'R, filled with timeless hooks and killer, scorching solos. On the new album, Carousel welcomes new guitarist Matt Goldsborough - also of Pentagram and The Skull - into the band, joining the formidable lineup of Dave Wheeler (guitar, vocals), Jake Leger (drums) and Jim Wilson (bass). Carousel is a band that knows how to capture your attention; the group has the unique ability to filter the music of their childhood heroes through a contemporary lens. On 2113, the four-piece unleashes charged-up rhythms and wicked dual-guitar harmonies that lay a strong foundation for the shining voice and catchy choruses of front man Dave Wheeler. 2113 is the ultimate nighttime driving music; a head-turning blend of Casablanca-era KISS and prime time Thin Lizzy with one foot in the past and the other firmly secured in the future. 2113 also contains a ""hidden"" bonus cover of the Joe Walsh classic, ""Turn to Stone"".
