Ron Gallo - ALBUM OUT NOW

"Big on garagey art-rock and fractured funk, the New Jersey-born Gallo brings fizzing zeal and a bounteous grab-bag of ideas, his songs' hooks as striking as his idiosyncratic lyrics."
-MOJO
 
"FOREGROUND MUSIC delivers a rollicking tour through today’s constant ongoing crises and mounting political anxieties, all knit together with Gallo’s charming genre-fluid style and stubbornly hopeful undercurrent."
- Under The Radar

"It rides in on a wave of guitar fuzz, setting the stage of panic with echoing questions of dread."
-Paste

FOREGROUND MUSIC, the title of Ron Gallo’s 4th LP, and debut for Kill Rock Stars might also be a suitable name for his own genre. In simplest terms it’s the opposite of background music - unavoidable, urgent, in your face - Gallo’s consistent theme is to confront, disrupt and sometimes even confuse people into a sense of awareness. The intention to steer away from apathy and self-empower by focusing on what we can control and make light of in a world designed to take it away. The guitar is less an instrument and more of a primal noise machine. This record is a challenge to everything and everyone, including his own self, who is holding back the progress of humanity (especially in America) into a more open, empathetic and collective unit - the words delivered with a punkish tenacity and lining even the heaviest topics with an ever-present sense of humor. It covers the full spectrum of emotion. This music feels like life feels right now. In his eyes, how could it not?
