With Bend To Break, Fred Mascherino--known for his work as lead guitarist and co-vocalist/songwriter for Taking Back Sunday--has turned out one of the most exhilarating and gutsy solo projects in years. Operating under the guise of THE COLOR FRED, the first recording under his nom de rock was artfully executed with the help of legendary producer Lou Giordano (Sugar, Paul Westerberg, Sunny Day Real Estate).
A triumph in every sense, the disc finds Mascherino where he belongs--out in front and wearing his heart proudly on his sleeve. From the urgent, three-minute firecracker “Get Out” that launches Bend To Break, to the six-minute, lighter-ready opus “Don’t Pretend,” the Coatesville, PA-bred, Northern Jersey-based musician has created an accomplished and conscience-invading album. And while TBS fans will be delighted to know THE COLOR FRED is in the same musical realm, its debut doesn’t mirror the world famous band Fred Mascherino has played with since 2003.
Im soooo crushed fred :[ I wont be able to attend this years warped tour, all because of my stupid car. Its an '88 toyota camery, that alone just tells you it wont make it anywhere out of town. And I cant use one of my folks cars because they will both be out of town.
Man, so much for taking the ONE thing I was really looking forward to over summer away from me :/
I realllly hope your on next warped tour, I would NOT miss it for the world, seriously.
On a brighter note, your birthday is tomorrow :] And I envy all the people who get to make you baked good and cards and that get to say Happy Birthday to you in person. All I get to do is leave you a sad little comment saying Happy Birthday, that will most likely be pushed off the page from all the other 39498 people who want to wish you a happy birthday.
But its the thought that counts right?
Anyways, I hope everything is going fantastic on the tour :] Have a great night fred!
