From
the inner city streets of Elizabeth, New Jersey, emerges E-Town Concrete, a truly powerful
4-piece dreamteam sculpted by their urban environment. Their music is for the new
millenium, combining the aggressive, dark East Coast hardcore/metal with the street-wise
´bringin the ruckus` hip-hop. This is not your ordinary rock/rap hybrid by any means.
They are not a bandwagon jumping political rap-core band with whiny ´rap vocals` and they
don´t employ the all too trendy DJ. E-Town Concrete is a new species more intense
than their predecessors. They merge raw talent with pure, honest emotion - elements that
seem to be lacking in today´s music. "I think the reason why we´ve gained so much
popularity so quickly, is because our message is real", explains Anthony.
"Nowadays kids are more screwed up than ever, so when I sing about my experiences and
things I´ve been through, they can relate.." Whether it´s the story of a friend who
was shot and killed in ´For the Fame` or the cutthroat approach to success in the short
but powerful ´One Life To Live`.
E.TC´s unique sound reflects
the best of hardcore and hip-hop. They are multi-faceted, best capable of assaulting
the listener with strong vocals and bottom-heavy guitar riffs, lulling them into a false
sense of security with a melodic jazz motif or inducing head nods with the type of
authentic New York style hip-hop that separates them from the pack. No, you have never
heard anything like this before. E-Town is a force you can´t stop.
For the last year New Jersey´s
E-Town Concrete have been playing non-stop and blowin up and 1999 is not going to be any
different either. They are playing shows at several big festivals in USA and Europe this
Spring/Summer. Presently, E-Town are touring East Coast with Leeway and after that they
are heading to their 1st European tour.
E-Town Concrete is ´bout to
take their success to the next level and judging by the attention they have gained among
big league labels, it´s only a matter of time. They currently have enough material for
another album. Our new material is much more mature than anything we´ve ever done, says
Anthony. Overall, its very emotional. The music is more thought out and the lyrics are
even more personal. He adds, E-Town Concrete is going to become one of the most legendary
bands in the history, right beside Led Zeppelin and the Beatles… believe me.
It´s time to let E-Town
Concrete make a believer out of you.
