The “alterna-jam” rockers present their first full length album in a collision of jam, classic rock, reggae, pop-punk, and ‘90s alternative hard rock. “Supercollider” was created in mind’s hideaway’s practice spot in the basement of keyboard/trombone player Joe Day’s house in Villa Park, IL. This was mind’s hideaway’s first recording as a five piece and with additional instruments besides guitar, bass, and drums. In various songs Joe added keys, piano, organ, synths, trombone, mandolin and a brand new three part harmony to the vocals. The music is about the broken healthcare system, the failure of mainstream media to report the truth, and struggling to survive in the sinking American economy.
Album Highlights:
"Say No More" - Track 3 - (3:32) - a high adrenaline scathing review of the media, a hard rock jam with rippin' organ and
guitar solos -- (influences: Foo Fighters, Offspring, Nirvana, The Doors)
"Waste" - Track 1 - (3:37) - melodic funky riff with a driving dance rock beat, the forlorn lament of potential wasted, having
it made and throwing it away (311, Bloodhound Gang, Red Hot Chili Peppers)
"Logic" - Track 4 - (4:31) - it does not make sense to let people die for lack of health care, why do we let companies profit
from denying coverage to people whose lives depend on it?
(Umphrey's McGee, Pearl Jam, The Allman Brothers)
"No Reason" - Track 2 - (4:45) - often a laid back jam with chill guitar and trombone, it becomes a defiant rebuke of George W. Bush and his shady ways (Beck, Everclear, Cake)
"Good Time" - Track 9 - (3:12) - why can we not care for our fellow man? does anyone notice? a tune that gets people up
and moving (Green Day, Blink 182, Incubus)
