Rock 'n' roll lovers can create a customized music stream on this music discovery service to hear songs from The Walrus CD, "Uncovered," and the music of other bands whose musical DNA is similar to The Walrus.

"Uncovered" is the Walrus' album of 11 original songs in the classic rock style. The CD (http://www.tusktusk.com/uncovered/) features rock, pop and folk vocal arrangements and harmonies reminiscent of the Beatles, Crosby Stills Nash & Young and other classic rock bands from the 1960s and 1970s. The songs on the CD include "The Garden," inspired by the 1992 New Age novel, "Ishmael," and employing CSN&Y-style harmonies; the deliciously vampy "Tongue in Cheek;" and the psychedelic-sounding "Gaia." "Pandora is a great way for people to easily find new music in the style and genre that they like, and we are honored to have the Walrus' musical DNA analyzed and indexed by Pandora," said Chuck Dingée, a Walrus vocalist and guitarist who has played Beatles-style classic rock since he saw the Beatles in Chicago in 1966. Pandora uses the Music Genome Project, which analyzes chord structures, instrumentation and other aspects of music, to catalogue songs according to musical DNA. Pandora's music discovery service helps listeners enjoy music they already know and -- based on the "DNA" analysis of preferred music choices -- discover new music that they are likely to equally enjoy. Users simply identify a favorite song or musical artist, and Pandora launches a streaming radio station of music sharing common DNA. Pandora offers both a free, ad-supported service and a paid subscription service. Both services allow users to create up to 100 personal radio stations. Dingee notes that Pandora.com has categorized his "Starcharter" with music by Barenaked Ladies and Tim Reid. Entertainment News NW and other publications have already taken note of the immediately recognizable rock 'n' roll tunes on the Walrus CD, even though they are all original songs. "The songwriting is solid. … Clean, in-tune harmonies combine here with catchy melodies, a solid rhythmic base and some tasteful lead work to produce a collection of tunes with a familiar feel," Entertainment News NW's Roger Mills said. Two songs on "Uncovered" are directly inspired by the Beatles, the Walrus' favorite band to cover. "Abbey Road" describes the ups and downs of rock stardom, and "Hold Your Hand" is a 92-second dance number with crisp harmonies. "We'd like to think that many of the songs on our new CD, and these in particular, share abundant musical DNA with the Beatles," Dingee said. Of the 11 new songs on "Uncovered," seven were written by vocalist/guitarist Joe Young, a prolific songwriter who has played in numerous bands in the Midwest and the Northwest. Two songs were written by lead vocalist and keyboardist Jamie Shea, who has lived and gigged from Los Angeles to Seattle to Vancouver, BC., and two were written by Dingée who has entertained audiences from Florida to Philadelphia and Chicago to the Pacific...

The Walrus, an 11-year-old Bellingham, Wash., band that has been energizing nightclubs and community festivals in the Pacific Northwest with pinpoint covers of the Beatles, Eagles, Queen and other rock and roll bands, is about to release its first CD of 11 new rock classics. Appropriately titled, "Uncovered," the Walrus' debut classic rock CD features rock, pop and folk vocal arrangements and harmonies reminiscent of the Beatles and Crosby Stills Nash & Young combined with classic melodies inspired by the Sgt. Pepper era. "This is a great time for a resurgence of classic rock music," said Joe Young, who composed seven of the songs on the Walrus CD and who has been playing lead guitar in rock bands for some 40 years. "Who doesn't love rock and roll?" Young's "Second Family" was written a few years after he joined the Walrus in 1998 and celebrates the friendship of the Baby Boomers who make up Bellingham's Rockin' Sea Mammals: Vocalist and keyboard player Jamie Shea; vocalist and rhythm guitar player Chuck Dingee; bass player Walt Burkett; and drummer Michael O'Neal. "Second Family" has become a sort of anthem for the indie rock band that has worked more than two years to record and produce their first CD. The new song has been a staple part of the Walrus set list as it helped the band pick up a loyal following at a number of rock music clubs and private parties throughout the Pacific Northwest. "We think 2007 will be the Year of the Walrus," says Dingee, an Indiana native who has been playing in rock bands since he was 12 years old. "People of all ages really appreciate classic rock music, and the only classic rock they can find is the old stuff. These new songs are our gift to our loyal fans and fans of classic rock everywhere." A recent New York Times article said that despite some high-profile departures of rock clubs in the New York area, the rock and roll music scene is as healthy as it has been since its peak in the 1960s and '70s. That's certainly the case in the Pacific Northwest as well, and the Walrus plans to have a series of CD release parties beginning Nov. 18 at the Wild Buffalo House of Music in Bellingham. The Walrus will also perform new songs from the CD at The Fairhaven Pub & Martini Bar on Dec. 1. The new Walrus CD defies classification in a single genre.

The new songs by the Walrus, Bellingham's premiere classic rock band, will be released after some two years in the making. [PRWeb Nov 14, 2006] http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/11/prweb453912.htm Mon, 13 Nov 2006 17:13:11 -0800 podcrew@extrahoop.com CD release party is scheduled for 8:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 18, at the Wild Buffalo House of Music on Holly Street in Bellingham. Opening for the Walrus will be Vadinska. The five seasoned professionals who make up The Walrus have been energizing nightclubs, community festivals and private parties in the Pacific Northwest with classic rock cover tunes since the band formed nearly 11 years ago. Now they are poised to delight their growing fan base with a collection of original, "uncovered" tunes that evoke and combine the melodic harmonies of the 1960s and the psychedelic musical arrangements of the '70s with present day inspiration and modern recording techniques. Of the 11 new songs on 'Uncovered,' seven are written by lead guitarist and vocalist Joe Young, a prolific singer-songwriter; two are by singer and guitarist Chuck Dingée; and another two are written by vocalist and keyboard player Jamie Shea. Drummer Michael O'Neal and bass guitarist Walt Burkett provide the backbeat and also sing on the new tracks. In addition to precision vocal harmonies, haunting strains from the violin of the late Guy Mulford, who played at the Walrus' first public gig in 1996, are heard on 'Guy's Song,' a tribute to the beloved musician who died on Jan. 1, 2001. Mulford's posthumous fiddling is also a tribute to the high-tech recording equipment and talent at Bayside Recording in Bellingham, where the album was produced and recorded over the last two years. Each of the 11 songs is so different that the debut album defies categorization in a single musical genre and sounds like a 'Walrus Greatest Hits' collection. The songs range from 'The Garden,' inspired by the 1992 New Age novel, 'Ishmael,' and employing Crosby Stills Nash & Young-style harmonies to the deliciously vampy 'Tongue in Cheek' to the psychedelic-sounding 'Gaia.' The Walrus CD is rich with classic rock, pop and folk vocal arrangements; ballads about friends who are like a 'Second Family' and about empowerment; screaming electric, acoustic and pedal-steel guitar licks; and love songs about absent as well as cheating lovers. The synergy of original themes and lyrics combined with Sgt. Pepper-inspired rock song melodies points to the versatility and experience of Bellingham's rockin' sea mammals. Two songs on the long-awaited album are directly inspired by the Beatles, the Walrus' favorite band to cover. Young's 'Abbey Road' describes the ups and downs of rock music stardom, and 'Hold Your Hand' is a 96-second dance number with harmonies as crisp as The Beatles' No. 1 hit, 'All My Loving' (and reminiscent of a number of early Beatles songs including, of course, 'I Want to Hold Your Hand').
