THE GRANITE SAINTS ARE INDEED ROCK AND ROLL RETRIBUTION AND BRUTALLY HONEST ABOUT IT. JAMES LEONEN WRITES FROM THE DEPTHS OF HIS SOUL IN A THREE CHORD HOMAGE TO THE BANDS OF HIS YOUTH, HE WEARS HIS HEART ON HIS SLEEVE FOR ALL TO BEAR WITNESS. JAMES HAS BUILT HIS BANDS SOUND AND IMAGE AROUND ROCK, ALTERNATIVE, PUNK, COUNTRY AND ROCKABILLY IN A COORDINATED ASSAULT, FUSING THE GENRES INTO ONE HIGH VELOCITY FOUR MINUTE RIDE. JAMES HAS CONSISTENTLY ALIGNED HIMSELF WITH THE STRONGEST CORE OF MUSICIANS TO CREATE THE VIBE OF HIS ORIGINAL MUSIC. A FRONT PERSON IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE MUSICIANS THEY SURROUNDS THEMSELVES WITH, AND JAMES WISELY CHOOSES PLAYERS THAT GET THE STYLE AND ELEVATE THE SONGS. KEITH FRASIER, LEAD GUITARIST, COMPLIMENTS THE SONGWRITING ATTRIBUTES OF JAMES BY ADDING MELODY AND A GUITAR VOICE TO EACH SONG. THE RHYTHM SECTION IS BRIAN THUNDERS ON DRUMS AND N8 ALFARO ON BASS. BRIAN AND N8 BUILD EACH SONG TO AN EMOTIONAL FRENZY FROM BEGINNING TO END. WHETHER IT IS A LIVE SHOW OR STUDIO TRACK, THE GRANITE SAINTS ARE VISUALLY AND AUDIBLY AN EXCITING MUST SEE BAND FROM START TO FINISH. THE GRANITE SAINTS MUSIC HAS A SENSE OF URGENCY THAT IS PALPABLE TO ITS AUDIENCE. THE BAND WILL ROCK YOU TO YOUR CORE.
