about

ShwizZ transports listeners back to the golden era of 70s psychedelic jazz-rock in “Hit the Deck.” The band laid the pavement with a hard-driving, technical bass line at the forefront which is a defining characteristic of fusion music. Each piece of the puzzle sprouted from that with garnishes of Rhodes chords, a striking guitar melody, and a tight drum groove to tie it together. After catching word of Color Red by chatting with Freekbass at a festival in upstate New York, it seemed like a perfect fit to capture “Hit the Deck” with straight-to-tape recording methods and Eddie Roberts taking the wheel on production. “Hit the Deck” will be followed up by a full-length album with a full-bodied roster of guests to be released spring 2020.

Artist Quote: We we're all quite pleased with the outcome of the track. Recording directly to tape really captured the vibe we had set out to create. The whole process, from reaching out to CR to going to the studio, tracking and mixing, was completely flawless. Eddie was super easy to work with and provided the perfect amount of producing tips to keep us on track with what he needed, but still be free to make our musical vision come to life. , "Hit The Deck" came out amazingly. It was a very fitting song for the production style that Color Red has been doing. The use of recording to tape, old school mic'ing techniques and having to perform and nail the track live really helped get us a quality recording. Eddie was extremely professional and sat back and let us do our thing, while also providing his production expertise when necessary. The overall experience was a delight from start to finish and the process was professional and rewarding.
