Full of rich melodies, Sweet Soul Suicide captures Shane’s unique voice and honest songwriting along with the hearts and minds of listeners to form an accessible collection of tunes with a soulful spirit. Packed with thought-provoking songs, the lyrics convey themes of regret and a search for truth. Amazon.com says Shane “unwraps his honest thoughts around lush hooks and memorable melodies, emerging with a confessional album loaded with rock urgency and pop smarts.” Sweet Soul Suicide showcases Shane Hines’ profound lyrical ability and unexpected musical shifts that reveal his seriousness, depth, and talent as a musician. The album is simultaneously substantive, musically entertaining, and memorable. With ten original tracks and a cover of The Beatles “Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except For Me and My Monkey,” On Tap Magazine calls Sweet Soul Suicide a project that should be “on your radar, your calendar, and in your CD player.” Shane calls The Beatles his “desert island band” and cites blues greats Albert, Freddie, BB King, Buddy Guy, and Jimi Hendrix as influences. Always in tune with great harmonies, his vocal chops have been compared to Sting and the Beach Boys. He also, names Radiohead, Elvis Costello, The Police, Pink Floyd, Ben Folds, Big Head Todd, Counting Crows, Coldplay, and Beck among his influences. Upon completion of Sweet Soul Suicide, Shane Hines gathered a band that includes his original musical inspiration, brother and guitarist Brent Hines, along with bassist Brian Keating, and drummer Edzo to hit the road. The band is now on tour throughout the East Coast in support of Sweet Soul Suicide, having already shared the stage with talent such as Tonic and Cake. Gathering new fans with each performance, Shane Hines is a brilliant live performer who never holds back. On Tap Magazine agrees, “Anyone who has seen Shane and his band understands this… The band brings a level of experience and virtuosity that can really only be acquired through living a life of music…” Shane and the band are heading back into the studio in August with a brand new batch of soulful pop songs. The new CD will be released in the Fall of 2004. | ||
