From what I gather, Turners Corner are three nice boys from the isolated
streets of Woodinville WA. Feeling it was time to leave the handy mart
parking lot to pursue bigger dreams, they moved on to the much larger city
of Seattle.
Fronted by the singer/song writer emotional stylings of Todd Maloy, his
alternative roots keep him grounded in progressive chords and subtle changes
(he will continue to work on breaking out of this pattern).
Zebulon, the bass player draws his talents from various power trios (from
the north but not Triumph) and is driven by the classic lines of such
influential players as Jaco Pastorius and Chris Squire (Zeb has always been a
Yes man).
Stroking the skins is Brian D. (The �D� is for Drum Dysfunction) He combines
straight beats with conflictory apposing thumb type rhythms and is influenced
by such greats as Ginger Baker and Karen Carpenter. If Stewart Copeland had
studied under him, he would have perfected the �hitting the high-hat with both
sticks fast� thing.
Together, they achieve a sound not recognizable except under the most un-supervised
conditions. They are attempting (in their own heroic way), to combine many different
musical styles while maintaining a level of vascular accessibility � and then
they add keyboards.
