uMan ERA – BAD DECISIONS Bio - Copyright © uMan ERA 2014 BAD DECISONS is uMan ERA's first CD album release from 2014. Many of the songs are written from personal experiences and take a humorous look at aspects of human nature and relationships. These recordings are a good representation of uMan ERA's live performance and sound, as we recorded our songs as we would play them on stage live, with very little over dubbing or special effects. Bad Decisions is us, raw; plain and simple! uMan ERA is a NEPA based originals and covers Rock & Roll, Hard Rock, and Rockabilly Band . We are highly influenced by artists like Clutch, ZZ Top, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, Johnny Cash, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and The Masters of Reality and Brian Setzer. Yet, we have established a sound of our own which come through on this album release. We are a high energy band on stage and enjoy the time we spend playing shows at local venues. At the time of this album release band members were Joe Longo (Guitar / Vocals), Tom Koop Sr. (Drums / Vocals), and former member, Slug Yankowy (Bass / Vocals). BAD DECISIONS was recorded and produced at SI Studios in Old Forge, PA. The creation of the album was a great team effort among uMan ERA band members, the studio engineers at SI, and some very supportive people in our lives. We hope you will enjoy our music on this Cd as much as we enjoyed creating it! The Bad Decisions album is avaialable for download on CDBaby.com. Please visit our website at http://www.umanera.com.
