Like most people I like fighters. I’m not talking about street brawlers or mixed martial artists. For me a fighter is someone who will not give up on their dreams, regardless. The Generationals are such rarefied folk. After college unlike most of their peers they didn’t head off and find a safe job. Instead they chased a dream. Thumbs up to dream chasers the world over. Funny how life is, but regardless of the odds Ted Joyner and good friend and fellow band mate Grant Widmer are carving out a bright spot in the limelight. More than likely you’ve heard their Buddy Hollyesque song “Ten-Twenty-Ten”. But there is so much more to the Actor-Caster LP. One of my favorites is the song “I Promise”, with its jangling guitar mid-tempo beat, it makes me want to get out of bed and do something. The song is energetic without being pushy, in that is doesn’t try too hard to win me over. In a world of in your face posturing, one gets the feeling that these guys are really about having a good time doing what they like doing best, making good music. I also posted the “Ten-Twenty-Ten” video, you know at times its nice to have a visual to go along with you finger snappin’ and toe tappin’. And since the album dropped in March it is available now. Peace.
