Picture for song 'Breakdown' by artist 'Eljam'

Breakdown

A riff-dependent tune that features a swirling guitar part that plays counter to the melody of the chorus, using an Eight Tone Spanish Scale.

Gotta Get Out

This song features a powerful vocal performance and a sizzling guitar solo that takes full advantage of the pace and rhythm of the piece.

Pull Myself Together

This is how Eljam did the blues. Although the chords are not in a standard blues progression, the minor and diminished chords in the sequence give the song a sadness that can only be called blues.

The Silence

We’ve all experienced the moment when our ‘significant other’ chooses to use silence as a weapon in a passive/aggressive manner. Another riff-dependent Eljam tune, The Silence defies attempts to categorize it. Maybe Riff-Rock?
Eljam’s music is driven by powerful lyrics and equally robust guitar riffs. Victor McGhee wrote most of the lyrics and the general melodies for the tunes, with each band member usually writing his own part. Mike Wich played guitar, Billy Armstrong played bass and Paul Vourderis played drums. Victor also played rhythm guitar and was the lead singer, while Mike occasionally provided back-up vocals. Thanks to 2006 technology, Victor appears on this compilation from 2499 miles away in Phoenix, Arizona. His parts were recorded in Black Canyon City Studio. Due to circumstances beyond our control, an understudy (Mike) played all of the instruments. With respects to Billy’s massive bass lines, Paul’s innovative drum style and Victor’s Ovation-based acoustic rhythm guitar playing, Mike has tried to be as true as possible to the original performances of the original members of the band.
