Do you like music full of hate, anger, violence and death ?........then you probably won't like this album ! If you like puppet musicians and syrupy singers, then this probably ain't for you. If you wear your cap on backwards, your crotch down at your knees and listen to a ghetto blaster with some guy rapping on about how unfortunate his life is, then click your back button now 'cause this will probably not be your cup of tea (or dose of 'p').

BUT... if you like to grab a pair of headphones, chuck 'em on and listen to a stereo dreamfield of soaring solos,crunchy rhythms and lyrical imagery, this could be for YOU!
Then again, maybe you enjoy your stereo speakers cranked up loud, to really hear them instruments come to life. Well it's time you gave the music of Tony Koretz a listen !
With thought provoking lyrics, powerful vocals, and a message that's designed to help give you a sense of hope in this crazy world we live in. Koretz's music offers something interesting all the way.

BIO : Tony Koretz is a musician, singer, songwriter and audio engineer based in New Zealand, with a flair for writing and performing guitar-based melodic rock. While Tony is not afraid to share the fact that he has a Christian faith, and God consciousness underlies much of his music, it can't be pidgeon-holed into religious rock. Preferring to reach people wherever they are at, through his lyrics and passionate playing, his work should provide lovers of good old rock and roll something to relate to here. Since beginning playing piano at age 10, guitar at age 16 years, he has had a love of performing in bands and solo, and the recording of his self-penned music. His own brand of music is heavily influenced by such classic rockers as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and Phil Keaggy: His guitar playing style is somewhat a mix of all these. Other guitarists that have influenced him include Joe Satriani, Eddie Van Halen, Rex Carrol and Kerry Livgren. Tony has also developed a good vocal range with a powerful style, and enjoys singing with a passion and fervour that let you know this guy loves what he does. His songs are often characterized by sweet acoustic guitars, dirty sounding electric guitars, and an organ and Leslie combination giving a sense of dynamics to the music. At times the music is progressive in nature, while at other times it is quite bluesy. While the sound is earthy, there is often a spiritual side to the songs, with thought provoking lyrics. Always looking to grow his craft, with new songs never far away from the pen, you can expect Tony Koretz to be round for the long haul.
