New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The debut album by New Jersey's first Supergroup The Satisfators featuring Bruce Ferguson/The Easy Outs, Jimmy Target aka Gar Francis/The Doughboys/Mark Lindsay, Curtis Roy aka Kurt Reil/The Grip Weeds and Kenny Aaronson/New York Dolls/Joan Jett/Bob Dylan/Billy Idol.
The Satisfactors are four musicians from four rock n'roll bands who came together to make this awesome album.
Recording sessions started in the spring of 2013 and finished in the summer of 2014 at the studio of the House of Vibes in
Highland Park, New Jersey. The album includes 12 tracks co written by Gar Francis (also known as co writer and producer of Mark Lindsay's latest rock album Life Out Loud) and Bruce Ferguson. The ultimate Rock N Roll album that you would think that was made back in the glory days of Rock n' Roll. Each track captures the feel and mood of those good old days. This is a masterpiece that must be heard.
Review for Track#6 (The Single released earlier this year) "Johnny Commando": "A wonderful ride back to New York City's 1970′s punk heyday. Bruce Ferguson (The Easy Outs) delivers awesome vocals, with inflections and nuances that remind me of Joey Ramone. The guitar is simple, yet driving, with a dynamite riff and solo. The chorus is fabulous, driving me to rock and bop as I listened. The harmonies are perfectly punk, the transitions amazing, and the hook kills. Produced by Kurt Reil (The Gripweeds) and Jersey's godfather of garage, Gar Francis, what else should I have expected? Review by
