Before today's update TISFWO! broke it's own record and got 30 page views! That's a lot! I'm pleasantly surprised and I hope many of you who visited will join us again. It makes me feel good to know I've shared music I love with people who may not have heard it before.
Well, tally-bally-ho! On with the show, then!
Today's ear-pie is an introduction to one man band and musical wizard Mario Hernandez under the alias "From Bubblegum To Sky." Mario's a veteran musician, having been part of the band Ciao Bella before releasing three albums as From Bubblegum To Sky. These days he still kicks out tunes as part of Kids On A Crime Spree. The guy's been busy.
FBTS's style blends Lennonesque vocals with the bubblegum rock sounds of the 60s and 70s resulting in some really catchy stuff, some learning more towards pop while other tracks lean more toward rock. The whole sound gives off a sunny vibe and FBTS is always on my music player of choice for summer. (Along with The Cardigans' first few albums.) While most of his songs sound upbeat and happy, the lyrics themselves are another story. From those that I can decipher, FBTS's lyrical content is pretty cutting, hiding behind it's happy-poppy sounds. Mario's FBTS albums are all available here plus some t-shirts (Which I own!) and posters of Nothing Sadder Than Lonely Queen's awesome cover art.
Check it out!
