Fellow L.A. singer-songwriter,
Mike Ruekberg and I made this record of 11 songs in the
tradition of our favorite music from the 1960s –
melodic, pop music that makes you feel good and want to
sing.
We call ourselves The Red Button and the album's called
She's About To Cross My Mind. Check out some
clips in the player.
"Cruel Girl" picked by Little Steven as
The Coolest Song In The World This Week on the syndicated
Little Steven's Underground Garage.
"If The Red Button had been around in the '60s
when I was producing, I would have signed them to
EMI."
- Norman "Hurricane"
Smith, Beatles engineer (1962-1966) and record producer
(Pink Floyd, Zombies) for EMI
"It's all here: Merseybeat, bubblegum, psychedelia,
and folk-pop. Swirsky and Ruekberg can now wear
their rightful crown as the Holsapple/Stamey of
The New Millennium". - David Bash, Pop
Music Journalist (Amplifier, Shindig)
Founder/CEO: The International Pop Overthrow Music
Festival.
"She's About to Cross My Mind is a marvelous
distillation of all things jangly and Beatley and
is certainly a (very) early contender for my 2007
top 10. This is old-school, guitar-based, sway-along-and-smile
pop music the way that God and Paul McCartney must
have intended." - John Borack, Goldmine
Magazine.
"She's About to Cross My Mind" is the
new soundtrack to the old Swinging London! Solid
from start to finish! From the opener "Cruel
Girl", each hook-filled song is drenched in
seemingly familiar, Beatles-like melodies and chord
changes - jangly, ringing, guitars, and wonderful
harmonies! We just hope we're having as much fun
listening to it as Seth and Mike probably had creating
it! We just have to stop ourselves from playing
it too much! Not a bad problem to have! Can't say
enough about this one!
- Ray Gianchetti, Kool Kat Musik.
One of the *best* cds for 2007, fans of 60's songcraft
look no further. This cd delivers hit after hit
from the song school of The Beatles, Jellyfish,
The Merrymakers, Fountains of Wayne, The Spongetones,
The Hollies, and all the way fab 60's pop rock
in general. This wonderful disc comes in a beautiful
digi pack with smart retro 60's art too. It's
a high class, grade A release from start to finish.
All the songs are catchy as can be.
The Red Button
