These guys have been my obsession this week. I've been looking for an excuse to go to Baltimore to check out this band (formerly known as Plunge) and then I heard they were opening for Chris Daughtry. The Troy, NY show sold out in record time but thanks to ebay I'll be rocking with Cinder Road (and Daughtry too) on St. Patty's Day! I've heard great things about these guys from the Daughtry Tour - which is awesome cuz they will be releasing their first major label CD this spring! www.myspace.com/cinderroad

"Get In, Get Out" was #1 on Sirius radio's Octane countdown again this weekend! WOOT!!! After reading their first review - i'm even more excited to finally get my hands on this CD! Posted: Wed Jun 06, 2007 6:43 pm Post subject: "superhuman" reviewed on TWRY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- theywillrockyou.com/reviews/ (at bottom of page you can leave comments about what you think of the review) Cinder Road - SuperHuman EMI/Union 4 out of 5 stars In a world where there seems to be as many music styles as there are bands, it seems very few are satisfied with simply being called rock n’ roll. Baltimore, Maryland’s Cinder Road not only seems comfortable embracing the term, but the sound as well. Working with producer Marti Frederiksen, whose impressive resume includes work with Aerosmith and Def Leppard, Cinder Road has given the world SuperHuman, an unpretentious collection of foot stomping modern rock songs and sincerely written ballads. With a quick blast of a snare drum, the band is off and running with “I’m so Sorry,” a song driven by a powerful rhythm section comprised of Nat Doegen (bass), Mac Calvaresi (drums), Pat Patrick and Chris Shucosky (guitars) laying the foundation under vocalist/guitarist Mike Ruocco’s apologetic lyrics. The band continues at full speed with “Bad Excuse” an infectiously good ‘love to hate you, hate to love you’ rock song that begs the listener to sing along with lines like, “You ain’t nothing but a bad excuse for love and I can’t get enough.” The album’s first single, “Get in Get Out,” is a fair representation of Cinder Road’s musical styling, with a slower, thicker rhythm section heavy on the low end, and a great guitar solo, which is rare and refreshing these days. While it’s not the strongest track on Super Human, I can see why they chose it as a single. “Should Have Known Better” is by far my favorite track on the record. Ruocco’s voice, which I can only describe as a cross between Enuff Z’ Nuff’s Donnie Vie and Buckcherry’s Josh Todd, sings the story of a man who lets a good thing slip through his hands, a popular theme throughout his lyrics. Musically, the band takes the listener on a ride through subdued verses, a half-speed bridge that’s one of the album’s finest moments, and an all out big rock chorus. Like any good rock n’ roll outfit, Cinder Road knows how to get the cigarette lighters waving with a power ballad to showcase their softer side. “Back Home” is a sweet, but sad tune about how being on the road takes its toll on a relationship (“I hope that you’re waiting for me when I get back home”), while a simple piano melody introduces “Learning to Love”, a mid-tempo love song complete with vocal harmonies and a bridge that conjures up fond memories of Def Leppard. Other notable tracks are the upbeat rocker “Drift Away” and the album’s title track, a sizzling three and half minute chunk of rock n’ roll gold. These days, the music scene seems to be more about marketing than music. If you’re looking for an honest gimmick-free rock album, then Super Human is definitely worth a listen.

Awesome! That just made my night! The night I saw them open for Daughtry, the CR boys seemed to attract quite a following.

Too bad that they are not still on tour with Daughtry. I have tix for Daughtry for when they play here in Buffalo at the Erie County Fair.
Ok, have listened to the album about a half dozen times - and wow, the album is amazing- I am hooked!
I need to see them live. Albany is just a little too far for me right now to travel.

YAY! So glad to hear you like the CD! I will definately keep you guys posted - cuz you better believe I'll be there if they book a show out your way.
My blog is up on myspace with plenty of pics. The videos didn't turn out so well thanks to the tall dude and the chic with big hair.

GREAT interview with Cinder Road: www.coastalbeat.com/news/2007/jul/31/q_cinder_road/Thought this was really funny - "Chris and I kinda discovered ‘80s rock and old school classic rock: Aerosmith, Def Leppard, stuff like that and fell in love with it" Mike Ruocco *scratched head* How the hell did that happen? Def Leppard is now classic rock?
