BJORK, BRANT
PUNK ROCK GUILT - LDP VERSION (LOW DESERT PUNK)
The new record PUNK ROCK GUILT, from desert rocker Brant Bjork, will be the first release on his new label LOW DESERT PUNK and his sixth solo release to date.
Recorded in December of 2005, P.R.G. was recorded and produced by long time friend, Dave Raphael, in his fully analog basement studio in the outback forests of New Jersey.
Going into the studio back in '05, Brant and Dave agreed that the sonic direction of the recording should be full-on Rock.
The session began with a hand full of riffs, an arsenal of premium tequilas and whiskies, as well as other creative condiments.
Dave Raphael rolled 2 inch tape and Brant, in his classic session style, performed all instrumentation on the spot and arranged 90% of the songs while actually in the studio.
Unlike Brant's back catalog of recordings that display his love of studio experimentation, Punk Rock Guilt clearly expresses his need to make a no-bullshit rock record.
It is a very direct record and upon mastering the recording, the highly respected engineer, Dave Collins, personally expressed to Brant that the record sounded like it was recorded in 1971.
For both Brant and Dave Raphael, mission accomplished! As a philosophy, artistically and otherwise, Brant Bjork has always stayed true to his Punk Rock roots as the corner-stone of his creative energy.
"To do your own thing, your own way, for your own reasons". Being an independent artist with no shame and a keen sense of humor, Brant Bjork took the term Punk Rock Guilt and simply let it represent his personal Rock-n-Roll freedom.
"This record is the shit..and it was worth the wait...for me and you".
