Trans Universal Worldwide
New CD and mp3 release
by $have of Long Beach
Trans Universal Worldwide is a raucous ride on a spaceship of rock. Propelled from the launch by the life force of Icky Soda, the CD transports the listener through a musical galaxy. Taking them from New York to LA, and all the way to a mythical place called Freeman Street.
$have -- a product of Long Beach, has a sound to match the diversity of the subject matter that seems to abound this town of such dynamic extremes...
Become Saint Nicholas and Handle The Messiah as you exploit the holidays in Full Commercial Xxxmas...
The Buddy Holly -like bounce of Mr. Politician is fun while the words express that promises can only be fulfilled from within...
This CD comes complete with a 8 page booklet of amazing artwork by Johnny Jones complete with all lyrics...
Cornblasta is a vocalist of exceptional talent, his infectious melodies and hilarious lyrics will have you singing out loud...
Dave Shea has a unique guitar style, the solos melodic and rocking, his rhythms smooth and furious. He is a monolith on stage and contributes greatly to $have's signature sound. Dave Shea holds in high regard the guitar work of punk superheroes The Descendents.
The searing guitar solos of Elder D invoke the power of Angus Young, fluidly melding and coloring the compositions.
$haves amazing drummer Heavy Doodie will get you amped like Stewart Copeland posessed by John Bonham...
With Fever on bass, the CD has Urge - ency without Overkill. He drives the songs and slathers grease all over the heavy groovin number One Idea.
"Trans Universal is the only CD I have been listening to lately" - Billy Blaze
Shave drives a rock machine
Reviewer: Mark E. Waterbury
Shave - Trans Universal Worldwide Headchange - CD0027 Long Beach, CA's five piece rock act Shave drives a rock machine with brash vocals, jangly guitars and pounding rhythms. You have a retro vibe ala more aggressive Bowie, jolted with an electric punkiness nodding towards Social D. Sardonic vocals add a further dimension, particularly in songs like "Rival Bowler" and "Eight Ladies Early 90's." Raucous and refreshing rock with some killer guitar solos, too.
