Who would have thunk it? Screech from the
teeny-bopper show “Saved By The Bell” rocks. It is true, Dustin Diamond
(Screech) has a debut album coming out for his group “Salty the Pocketknife”.
The self-titled album hits stores on October
21st courtesy of Sonance Records and features Diamond on bass. Here is
a bit of the artsy alt-rock band’s official bio: “Formed in 2001, a combination
of four very unique individuals gave birth to a pioneering new sound called
Salty The Pocketknife.
“Salty the Pocketknife takes progressive/
new-thing rock to the next level. You simply have to get a drummer of the
caliber of Evan Stone in order to maneuver through very crisp and effective
grooves and odd time changes; changes which certainly make their music
original and absolutely left of center.
“Apply the masterful technique and oddity
of Scott Ireland on guitar and what you will find are melodic ear bending
harmonies and lush chordal interplay that provides a strong basis for the
Salty sound. Combine that with the searing vocals of Rosebud, who has been
favorably compared with Fiona Apple, Chrissie Hynde and others, and you
will be on the edge of your seat eagerly awaiting her next boisterous rant.
Hear Rosebud just once and you will undoubtledly [sic] recognize her unique
voice the very next time you hear it anywhere.
“Finally, add Dustin Diamond , ‘Screech’
from TV's ‘Saved By The Bell’, on bass guitar, and you will get the complete,
rounded and earth rumbling sound which makes up Salty the Pocketknife.
Dustin's bass playing interweaves with the complex twists and turns in
the music which makes for a solid, driving and unified sound.”
