Details:
Pretty Too Bad are an alternative rock band formed in 2008 in Ocean Beach, California, a small beach community in San Diego County. The band consists of Clayton Tryniszewski (Vocals/Guitar/Piano), Jim Hughes (Guitar/Vocals), Ismael Velazquez (Bass/Vocals), and Charles Erickson (Drums/Vocals).
On December 2, 2010, PTB entered Big Fish Recording Studio in Encinitas, CA with the intention of capturing an album’s worth of ideas that could influence the life forms on Earth. With their collective years of diverse musical experience, PTB enlisted the services of Ben Moore and Matt Van Allen to capture the live raw energy the band exudes. This collection of musical minds would prove to be not only efficient and productive, but intensely creative as well. Van Allen’s sound technical recording abilities allowed the band to quickly and painlessly lay down their raw passion on tape, and Moore’s gifted ear for mixing revealed the unique voice of a band uninhibited. What resulted was an eclectic collection of songs entitled “Balloons.”
There is a little something for everyone on “Balloons”. The album opens with the simple, driving groove of “Big Fish”, a song sure to capture the hearts and minds of listeners everywhere. Positive and relatable lyrics help build to a powerful chorus that sounds great on record, but sounds even better with a live crowd singing along. Other highlights of this release include the funky and energetic “Caves,” (a song that will have you so busy dancing that you won’t even notice the world coming to an end) and “Walk Away,” a song that employs the use of clever wordplay, a catchy melody, and an infectious rhythm to get its message across.
“Balloons” will definitely be a worthy addition to the musical library of planet Earth, and will be ready and waiting for anyone with open ears, an open mind, and an open heart. This is your life. This is your time.
