Description
Allofasudden's debut album "Appear" is out and available!

Driving rhythms, fiery guitar playing, and layered harmonies all play a part in creating the multifaceted AllofaSudden sound. While hard to pin into one specific genre, a keen sense of melody and unforced psychedelia pervade everything AOS does, from big rock choruses to dirty grooves to subtly twisting progressions.

The three-headed monster songwriting team of Tyler Shusterman, Sean Stringfellow, and Andrew Henning offers the listener a variety of interpretations of the American rock tradition "I see us kind of like a baseball team with three star pitchers," says Tyler. "Sean's the fastball pitcher. He hits you with solid grooves right in the strike zone. I'm more of a junk pitcher. My songs have all kinds of curves and slides that can end up somewhere completely different than where they started. I guess that would make Andrew a knuckleballer. His songs sneak up on you in unexpected ways, but there's something about them that just makes me think of the good old days."

Each songwriter taps into different lyrical veins but they all trade in evocative imagery, conjuring lascivious she-devils, paranoid partygoers, and hapless swindlers in songs that offer equal amounts of introspection, humor, and insight. An AOS show uses these songs as a launching pad for energetic performances that can include surprising covers, extended improvisations, and natural showmanship.

Current mood: dirty
AOS would like to thank all of you who made it out to our show earlier this month at
the Red Devil Lounge. Devilish fun was indeed had by all.

Our next show is sure to be a major rager. We are returning to North Beach’s Mojito
with our dirty, bluesy friends, Guns for San Sebastian. Last time we played with GfSS,
their guitarist, Lorne, sat in with us for a nasty Use Me. Who knows what kind of
shenanigans will ensue at this wild celebration for Lorne’s birthday party?

AOS’ debut album, Appear, is now available on iTunes, Rhapsody, and all other major
digital services through our new distribution company, reapandsow. If you don’t have
Appear yet, what are you waiting for? 11 songs of funky, rockin’ goodness. But don’t
take our word for it. Stream and buy the album here.

If you know and love Appear, please do us a favor and leave a review on your iTunes
store account. Thanks for your support and see you at Mojito!
