Adams Rib – Free Music
Derek Wall
A&E Editor
For about 12 years, Adam’s Rib has been working hard to make a niche for themselves in the Canadian music scene, as well as the music scene in Chile, South America.
Band member Derek Lathrop is Chilean-born, and the band played in Chile for the first time earlier this year. The band plans to return later on in 2009.
This well travelled group offers high energy, masterfully crafted rock and roll given an adrenaline shot of Latin music in some tracks. With Dave Buland on bass, Bruce McCarthy on drums, Peter Grant on guitar, and Derek Lathrop on vocals, Adams Rib has created a recording that captures the raw energy of a live show.
The entire album was recorded within one week to avoid over analyzing and mastering. Adam’s Rib considers this album best experienced raw and live.
For that reason, the band has offered the album completely free of charge on their MySpace page, so your money can be better spent attending their concert.
The album is highly energized, some standout tracks being Let Go, Delirium, Canta Maria, and the title track, Free Music.
Free Music is an extremely positive, personal, and invigorating album, and to see the group that produces such music live would be a real treat.
Adam’s Rib will be playing live at The Apollo this Tuesday, the 29th, at 8pm.
