Coppersonic
"A
stripped-down band with a stripped-down, almost live off the floor sound”, Coppersonic takes the elements found in rock, blues and country to create music
with deep, traditional American roots. John Truelove's vocals impart a
broken-hearted urgency to the emotionally charged lyrics and swooning melodies,
which are sung over John Carini's handsomely raw and visceral guitar. Carried on
the back of John Hummel's irrepressible, velvet-freight-train rhythms,
Coppersonic writes and performs the type of music that brings to mind the raw
swagger of
The Rolling Stones and the live power of the
Allman Brothers at the
Fillmore East.
Based in New York, Coppersonic was founded by bassist/singer John Truelove and
guitarist John Carini in early 2002. Truelove is originally from Virginia and he
brings a definitive country flavor to the band's sound, as evidenced by the
distinctive southern accent in his voice. A native of Long Island, John Carini
developed an articulate and very musical style of guitar playing that has its
roots in Hendrix and is supplemented by classical training.
The newest member, John Hummel was recruited to fill out the lineup on drums.
His powerful drumming style, which echoes the sounds of the great 1970s power
drummers, is heard for the first time on their most recent album, Songs from
the County Line.
These components come together to create the tight, memorable songs on Songs
from the County Line and their debut CD, Coppersonic. Since
the band’s formation, Coppersonic has performed continuously in the eastern US
from Vermont to North Carolina, made television appearances and have been heard
on national and international radio.
