Drawing comparisons to Buckcherry, Velvet Revolver, and AC/DC, Western Aerial’s music and ferocious live performances blend their Northwestern rock ‘n’ roll with a cocky swagger and showmanship that has been missing in recent years.
"Rock 'n' Roll Is Always In Fashion", the forthcoming release from Rip
City's own Western Aerial is a testament to just that, that rock 'n' roll
is not out of fashion - it's alive and well as always.
Some will ask who Western Aerial is. Others are already converts to their
brand of rock, which has drawn comparisons to Buckcherry, Velvet Revolver,
AC/DC, and Foo Fighters. And, some will ask, "Is Western Aerial the band
from the Blazers' games?"
The answer to the latter is YES.
Western Aerial, commissioned by the Blazers' organization to cover The
Who's "Baba O'Reilly", were seen throughout the Blazers' hometown games on
the Jumbotron performing their rendition of the classic hit. You may have
also seen Western Aerial in a Blazers’ commercial on KGW that aired
throughout the season, promoting attendance to the Blazers' hometown
games.
Riding on the wave of success and rise in attendance through the support
of the Blazers, Western Aerial recorded "Rock 'N' Roll Is Always In
Fashion".
Featuring three songs - "There You Go", "Down", and "I've Got a Van" -
Western Aerial's forthcoming CD is a throwback to era of 45s, with a band
choosing to release a few choice singles instead of a full-length album.
"We decided to do a series of singles that we'll later compile into an album, which allows us to get new music out more often and keep it fresh," says vocalist/guitarist Geoff Metts on the band's decision to revitalize the glory days of singles. "This way we're not mired down with having to record 15 or 20 songs at once. The industry is changing so rapidly, at this point we can do whatever we want so why not take it in a retro direction. It's sort of an old-thing-new-again; we’re adapting the old format of albums being a series of separate recordings to fit what’s possible now. And making sure we offer value and excitement to our fans because of it."
