This September, As Yet Untitled released their long awaited
debut self-titled album in Sacramento. The disc crosses multiple
musical genres while maintaining consistent themes about life. “Since
we recorded and produced the whole thing ourselves, it was an opportunity
to allow each song to have its own personality,” said lead
singer Tommy Sellers. The intro track kicks hard with the riff-laden
and political “The Man” and flows gently into “In
Between” which features a somewhat gypsy flavored signature
sax riff. “Each song is like a different mood,” said
Sellers. The parting song “Bring it On” features a country
style piano while radio-friendly “All Fall Down” is
somewhat of an acoustic rock anthem.
"As Yet Untitled" is their third effort, their previous
release “Becomes You” was produced by veteran producer
Mark Dearnley (AC/DC, Mother Love Bone). Becomes You was included
in Music Connection Magazine’s top ten list of demos submitted
that year. Their single “Across the Water” from their
first CD “Soon to Sound What Where” received considerable
airplay on KWOD 106.5
in Sacramento. In 2003, the band won the Zone 100.5’s Battle
of the Bands and opened “Day in the Zone” with the likes
of Macy Gray and Hootie and the Blowfish.
With the exception of drummer Jerry Barton, the band retained its
original lineup from the Becomes You effort. Mike Simpson plays
lead guitar with Mykal Nelson on Bass and Jim Jones on Saxophone.
