Wedlock's Information

Alternative Dance/Electronic Pop
About Us:
Paul Allgood, Baxter Smith, and Lee
Whitsel make up Chapel Hill North
Carolina's electro pop outfit Wedlock.
They are best described as a
combination of new disco, techno pop,
and digital funk. With their lyrical
depth and blissed out beats, Wedlock
is carving out their own niche in the
dance scene with energetic shows and
live instrumentation. Not living on
groove alone, Wedlock tries to shake
things up with strong personal and
sometimes politically charged lyrics.
Their latest is Continuity released
in October on Kounterfeit Records.

YES! WEEKLY REVIEW OF
CONTINUITY
WEDLOCK — Continuity
RATING-76/100
As difficult as pulling off good electro-pop
without sounding cheesy can be, Chapel Hill
electronica trio Wedlock’s
(www.wedlockmusic.com) latest effort Continuity
brings a fresh approach to dance beats while
giving a hearty nod to the synth gods of the
’80s at the same time. The smooth, Phil
Collins-esque vocals of Paul Allgood provide the
jumping-off point for bassist Lee Whitsell and
keyboardist Baxter Smith to lay down the full
electro spectrum, from trippy house beats to
growling, subsonic bass walks. The beats are
creative and highly varied from track to track and
never once flirt with monotony from the subtle
abstractness of opening track “Blameless?” to
the icy ebbs and flows of “Safety.”
Allgood’s lyricism occasionally leaves something
to be desired, though tracks like “World Machine
(Universal)” have a charming level of humor to
them and there are lots of Easter Egg-variety
references to be found within. In this brand of
dance music, however, refurbished lyrical themes
are easily forgiven, since the idea is
fundamentally to think less about what’s being
said and focus on the beats-per-minute. That BPM
is where Continuity truly excels, as there’s not
a single track within that can’t compel someone
to their feet. Continuity is driving, exciting and
inventive, though it’s just avant-garde enough
to stand out.

TELL EVERY ONE ABOUT
IMRadio -- Got to
thinking. What if each of
us independent musicians
told our family, friends,
fans and acquaintances
about IMRadio.com, how
besides the main
stations, it has stations
for each of the states
individually, 52
countries, and just about
every musical genre --
reaching any internet
connection around the
world. We could tell them
in person, on the
internet or at small or
large venues. Anyone we
tell would apreciate the
convenience of such good
music from independent
musicians on their
computer. It would be
such a good way to help
all of us reach even more
listeners. With IMRadio,
we aren't just waiting at
the mercy of some major
label to decide whether
or not they will let us
be heard around the
world. There are enough
of us that the outreach
could be exponential.
And, wouldn't it be a
great way to say 'thank
you' to Paddy and all of
the other fine folks who
have put IMRadio.com on
the world's musical map.
They have put in money,
time, energy and
dedication, and all they
have asked of us in
return is to upload our
music and profile. I am
sure that they have great
plans to publicize
IMRadio and bring it to
even more listeners. In
the meantime, through,
wouldn't it be great if
we could all help a
little by just taking a
little time each day to
tell family, friends,
fans and acquaintances
about IMRadio. It
wouldn't cost a dime,
just a little time.
Yours, in Musical
Solidarity, Paul.
Hello!
Nice to meet you. Keep
the music alive.
