Mike Estep BandCountry of origin:U.S. Type of music generally:Rock Status:Most recent release, From The Vault (compilation, 2007); most recent release of all-new material, Next in Line (2002) See also:Mike Estep Band's site Comparisons:Hard for me to do with any precision. Closest I can think of: Imagine 10,000 Maniacs with a male lead singer, and a woman among the backup vocalists. (mapravat@prairienet.org) Covers/own material:One cover on their album, own otherwise. General comments:This is an independent rock band from central New York State, which has pressed and distributed its first album on its own. Estep had previously released an album as a solo artist. (mapravat@prairienet.org) Recordings:
This MachineRelease info:2000—self-released Availability:See band's website for availability Ecto priority:Recommended. Moderate priority. (mapravat@prairienet.org) Group members:Dani Gottuso—vocals, percussion Guest artists:Brett Hobin—bass guitar on 5 tracks Produced by:Jeff Favalo and Steve Orlando Comments:Their brand of semisoft guitar rock makes for pleasant listening, but there is nothing bland about it. The lyrics are well-crafted and interesting—appealing to intelligent people without being overly esoteric. This is a band that deserves to succeed.
