A flip of the radio dial nowadays can reveal a herd of similar
sounding bands playing the same guitar chords and whining about the same
things. And then there is Dust to Dust. The New York based outfit of Dust to
Dust features the duo of Rob Traynor on vocals/guitars/bass/synth and Steve
Tobin on drums. Just don't let the member count fool you, what this band may
lack in numbers they make up for with musicianship. With their latest album
Sick comes an exhibition in truly emotional hard rock that avoids any current
trends or fads in any musical scene. Sick has an overall honest feeling and
accessibility that lets the listener not only hear the music but feel it as
well. The music itself is crisp, catchy and even three-dimensional thanks to
the programming that accents every song so brilliantly. Rob Traynor truly
showcases his range not only as a musician but also as a vocalist going from
sing to scream and not ever missing a beat. Traynor's crunchy guitar work is
also accompanied by Type O Negative guitarist Kenny Hickey who was brought in
as a lead guitarist in a handful of songs bringing yet another powerful
element into this album. From the start Sick never fails to impress and there
is just absolutely nothing lacking on the entire album from the production to
the track layout. In fact Sick is the album that offers proof that irrelevant
bands like Godsmack and Linkin Park are now only in the way of Dust to Dust
climbing their way to the top of the hard rock food
chain.
