‘Can’t Be For Real’ by Bloody Bananas | Debut EP Coming Soon
Exclusive track premiere of ‘Can’t Be For Real’ by Bloody Bananas. Debut EP coming out soon.
Cary LaScala — who has a lengthy resume as a drummer, touring, and recording with the likes of Jackson United (Foo Fighters), Wild Party, and Casey Spooner (Fisherspooner) — has stepped into the position of bandleader and frontman for his newest project, Bloody Bananas.
The track was produced by Ethan Kaufmann (Wild Party, Paper Jackets), mixed by veteran Los Angeles mix engineer Will Brierre (The Killers, Fleetwood Mac), and mastered by Steve Hall (Tom Petty, Green Day). It precedes a forthcoming ‘Bloody Bananas’ EP.
“I’ve just always had the itch to do my own thing,” he says. “I think I have a lot to say, and I’m always coming up with different song ideas.” Those ideas have culminated into a well-crafted collection of tunes, featuring hummable melodies interwoven with guitar hooks set against, of course, LaScala’s signature drumming. When asked about the myriad of new roles he plays in his band, he claims, “It’s strange to consider myself as a multi-instrumentalist…I’m self-taught on drums, guitar, bass, and as a vocalist, but don’t claim to know what I’m doing or anything.”
Despite that admission, LaScala seems to have had no difficulty in sculpting the sound of Bloody Bananas, creating his own blend of indie pop and garage rock. Enlisting the help of producer Ethan Kaufmann (Wild Party, Paper Jackets), the Bloody Bananas debut record sounds like a band who has long since found its groove and settled into a sound uniquely their own.
