Fans of New York-band Flying Machines, can check them out at the CMJ Music Marathon on October 22nd, 8:00 PM at Fontana's in New York. The boys just released their debut self-titled album on September 22nd via EMI and come packed with a singer/songwriter/folky/rock & roll punch. Influenced by artists like Ben Folds and Freddy Mercury, band co-founder John Wlaysewki describes the band PERFECTLY in an official press release: "We mesh my abrasive rock guitar and William [Ryan George]'s beautiful singer-songwritery thing. He brings the beauty, I bring the rock." The band is William Ryan George on vocals and keyboards, John Wlaysewski on guitar & vocals, Evan Joyce on bass and Ken Weisbach on drums.
I love these guys! Must listen to more of them NOW. Check out their first single, "On A Whim" - available along with their album in stores and on iTunes.
