JADE STEEL PRESENTS THE EMERALD TRIANGLE IDC cat# 0008 / ET# 002 Emerald Triangle is not only the name of a band fronted by singer Jade Steel, it is also the Portal or Stargate, which allows the band to travel great distances and on many different animated adventures. Emerald Triangle’s, producer Andre Johnson cleverly crafts the funky, rock hip-hop tracks that are not only current, but the cutting edge of the times we live in today. As the band steadily rocks out, the pulsing back beat drumming by Jeremy Hoenig, is mixed with earth shattering bass of Ubi Whitaker, and a wailing guitar creates the melodic sound layers within. Jade’s lyrics concern fears tempered with a historical perspective, and his tongue and cheek sense of humor can be heard through out the whole album. "I don't know if you have ever heard of Jade Steel, But if you haven't, you've been cheated, and should read on Like a character, from an old pirate movie, or a cunning Modern day traveler, Rock singer, Jade Steel, continues to entertain his growing number of fans, From the animal growls, to a distinct crooning, what next? Influences can be heard in almost every song, But almost impossible to pinpoint We can only hope for more, and the more I listen, the more I want to hear. When I was young, bands like Led zeppelin Jimi Hendrix, and the Stones, were breaking all of the rules. We would hear the influence of the imagination, Simplified, and broke down into a groove, those were the days when people were using mind altering drugs and painting flowers for fun. Today we see a much different kind of energy, Bands like "THE EMERALD TRIANGLE", supporting artists like, "JADE STEEL", Are the cutting edge of the times we live in today. The music, a raw energy of Singing, Screaming, rapping, and spoken word, mixed with Hip Hop beats, the distinct, Funky guitar riffs, and that and freaky samples, allowing the beat to drive home, is what we are hearing. Combined with issues of Politics, War, and Social Environmental topics,. Written with JADE STEEL'S, clever dark humor, drive fans and writers of magazines into a frenzy. We love it.” Review from CD Baby.
