THE DUKES OF KENT  “WELCOME TO THE OAST HOUSE” (SUGARBUSH RECORDS SB300) on vinyl only, limited to 500.

Recorded between 2010 and 2012 this great album is the first by this band which is really the German duo of MARKUS HOLLER & CHRIS GUSSMAN. Recorded in rural Crowborough in East Sussex, this album of nine songs blends 70s style Rock, West Coast, Psych, Folk and Americana.

Reminiscent of ROLLING STONES, ALLMAN BROTHERS, NEIL YOUNG, TOM PETTY, CHEAP TRICK, HENDRIX  this LP filled melodic hooks and deeply personal lyrics while guitars jangle and chime with Markus & Chris play stunning solos. The guitar playing is a real highlight on this album but every song springs excellent surprises and as a whole this album will please any fan of 1960s / 70s American Guitar Music.

Markus has previously played with SILENT BLUE, THE FORTUNATE SONS and THE ORGONE BOX while lead guitarist Chris Gussman has his own band KINKY MACHINE who released a rollicking Hard Rock CD some years back. The album also features Pablo Videla on drums and Iain Rae (ex GALLAGHER & LYLE) on piano. WELCOME TO THE OAST house is limited to 500 copies on vinyl with no CD release and no downloads planned as yet. The album has been beautifully mastered by PINK FLOYD’S engineer, Andy Jackson, and can be considered an audiophile pressing as the cut was also done with extreme care and the LP is pressed on 150gm virgin vinyl.

Sugarbush Records press release "A super, home made effort, which will send fans of well crafted Americana into seventh heaven. With guitars that chime, jangle, fuzz and ping from every angle. One for fans of the six string and all it can offer!"
