TR3’s Like Some Kind Of Alien Invasion Lands September 7th
TR3 featuring Tim Reynolds Announce New Album “Like Some Kind of Alien Invasion”, Out 10/7
TR3, the versatile electric power trio consisting of DMB guitarist and collaborator Tim Reynolds, bassist Mick Vaughn, and drummer Dan Martier, has long been known for bending genres and ripping through songs in every style from blues, progressive, psychedelic, hard rock, jazz fusion, metal, and classic rock, with each song seemingly building off the one before it.
Two years in the making, Like Some Kind of Alien Invasion features fourteen new original songs by Reynolds and further solidifies TR3 as a consistent rock band with wide-ranging influences.
Just like a TR3 show, Like Some Kind of Alien Invasion runs the gamut from a soulful love song, “The Glow,” which Reynolds describes as perfect to the Southern rock-influenced “In the Zone,” with Tim’s riffs sounding like a crazier ZZ Top over Martier’s masterful drumming and Vaughn’s powerful bluesy bass, to “All Over the Place” with Reynolds’ clean, lightening speed electric guitar licks with equally quick, syllabic vocals.
Reynolds feels the new album is TR3’s most satisfying album to date. “It’s more sonically expansive and has more harmonic content than our previous works,” says Reynolds. We really focused on making this a chord-rich effort.”
Reynolds, Vaughn, and Martier have been playing together since 2007 and their cohesiveness, talent and camaraderie once again shine through. According to Reynolds, “Mick and Dan are awesome on every song. Mick is great on everything and Dan basically plays stuff that humans cannot play.” Reynolds also feels that this album greatly benefitted from the experimentation of Outer Banks recording engineer, Ed Tupper of Swampworks, to help guide them on their satisfying journey.
