Los Angeles, CA - Indie rock group Friend Slash Lover (FSL) give the world their artistic view in
musical form with their second EP, The Grey Area. The EP is available to
fans on iTunes and the band's official website. The Los Angeles based band is heating up the
music scene with captivating conceptual material for true radio heads
everywhere.
Front man Josh Mintz, vocalist and songwriter, started out making music as a solo act under the name Stupid Human after teaching himself how to sing, write and play guitar. The former student of Rhode Island School of Design was musically inclined from the early age of 8, winning over 70 awards during his seven-year stint playing the fife in a drum corps marching band. Bassist Frank Day was with Mintz from the beginnings of FSL and since then, the band has added Jake Hayden, drums, and Greg Pajer, guitar, to the lineup. With a complete band and the full collective sound Mintz always desired, Friend Slash Lover is about to embark on their most ambitious project yet. The seasoned performers have already hit some of the most popular nightclubs and music venues in Los Angeles such as The Roxy Theater, The Viper Room, Bootleg Theatre and Skinny's Lounge.
Excited to deliver a second dose of musical remedy to fans, Friend Slash Lover called upon old friend Thom Flowers, who mixed the group's debut EP As American As Ones And Zeros, to mix and produce The Grey Area. The EP was mastered by Roger Seibel at SAE Mastering and recorded at both Dave's Room and Orangewhip Studios. The new six-song compilation is much more musically developed and the growth of the band is clear from the thought-provoking lyrics to the instrumental fluidity. On the title track "The Grey Area", Mintz showcases his wide-range vocal chops as the song builds to an epic climax. The EP also features a cover of the 1987 hit "Dear God" by major alternative rock band XTC. The song was at the heart of controversy after its release due to the atheistic lyrics. The lead single "As Seen On TV" features a head-knocking punk rock sound combined with Mintz's signature smooth vocals and an infectious hook.
Every song boasts each band member's talent and carries its own individual character and message. Ultimately, The Grey Area is a modern sonic marvel waiting to be uncovered.
Boasting a more emotional appeal with an ethereal feel, the lyrics on this record reflect the band's creative ability to convey real life experiences. Music fans looking to break away from the usual head-banging heavy metal or cookie-cutter pop tunes might be in for a treat with The Grey Area.
