Artist Spotlight: Ritz Gnarlton

For today's edition of Artist Spotlight, we head west to the city by the bay known as San Francisco, CA and check out the eclectic sounds of Ritz Gnarlton. The group consists of Karl Rodgers on lead vocals, RJ Goulden on lead guitar and backup vocals, and Drew Lee on guitar. The trio has a vivacious, reggae infused sound similar to the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Sublime with a strong emphasis being put on melody and style, and these guys have clearly mastered that with a strong set of tunes that defines the area in which they live, which has a vibrant music scene spanning all sorts of genres. I'm quite thrilled to stumble across these guys, as they have a clear image of who they want to be as a group, and are striving to achieve that next level of success that so many other bands out there yearn and strive to achieve for. A terrific live act that is primed to take that next step up the musical ladder. Some recommended tracks for you to take a listen at include "Deep Blue Sound" and "One Way To Survive".
