"Stop, Hey, What’s that Sound: Great Caesar" Yes, my review might not do this band the proper amount of justice due to my unfamiliarity with their style of music, the general gist of it should read like this: if you like rock, and like jazz in your rock, and like the jazz-rock you like to be fun, then go on over to their website and pick up on what they're laying down. Reviews quote as saying they create a lively atmosphere, and they've had success enough to share stages with the likes of The Decemberists, Deerhoof, and even Third Eye Blind. An ensemble-type band like this, with their fusion elements, is almost strictly reserved to being best experienced live and in person. A proper LP might or might not be in the works (haven't been able to find any info on it), but it seems that Great Caesar may not even have to go that route anytime soon. "Tango" is maybe the best of the bunch, a perfect melding of all of their songwriting and instrumental flair, a song to close an eye-opening show in a smoky NYC jazz club. "Everyone's a VIP to someone" is bouncy, hip to it's own groove, replete with the sort of lyrics that fit right in on the college circuits they seem to favor playing. Very decent solo work on this one, this band has talent it can keep in reserve from track to track. "Youthenized" has a bit of college-nerd broodiness to it (college-nerd music, while not an actual genre, may be an apt description for this sound to anyone who gets what I mean by it), and is much more guitar-driven than you'd expect. "Mouth Erratic" is much more jazz-based than the rest of these songs, and it goes a great deal to showcase the other half of the fusion element Great Caesar incorporates to much pleasure. This one ends on a steady anthemic build, a real sing-along section that must get fans in a bit of a frenzy live. Lyrics are borderline ridiculous, and one gets the feeling that was intentional.
"Sweet Banana" seems far less serious in theme, but in tone it has a bit more punch, a bit more underlying darkness to it. The vocals have the oomph needed to accompany such a sound, and are pleasantly reserved enough not to force attention away from the meat of this and the rest of the songs. More than likely, though, is that the song is just a great time, a tongue-in-cheek tale of a man taking extreme measures to save a kidnapped daughter. The intro definitely seems to take a page from Ennio Morricone, and the entire track may be a modernized tribute of sorts to the legendary composer. The brass creates punctuation, flair and a sense of class behind the fairly straight-forward rock catchiness. I can tell you that "The Tale of Buck Byron" is the kind of song that can make waves. "Great Caesar - EP Review from Music Emissions" If you want to get involved to fight racism and homophobia, check out the action widgets below. If you’re looking to get involved with a worthy cause this Martin Luther King Day, then one thing you can do is blast this video out on all of your social media networks. We won’t spoil the ending for you, but we recommend that you grab some tissues. A group of white males beats the young black male with a baseball bat, the football player is harassed and beat by his teammates, and one young woman is kicked out of her home after revealing to her parents that she is in a relationship with another girl. “Don’t Ask Me Why” is a beautiful testament to the power of love, but it is also a jarring reminder of the potential consequences of expressing that love. The other couples - who are also dating outside of their races - experience what it is like to navigate high school and home life while being gay.
The first is a mixed race couple that falls in love in the segregated America of the mid-twentieth century. The music video introduces the audience to three young couples. "'Don't Ask Me Why': Great Caesar's Music Video Proves Love Conquers All"ĭoes love really conquer all? How does love, for example, triumph over homophobia and racism? Great Caesar premiered its new music video for “Don’t Ask Me Why” on Upworthy today, and the band gave us answers to those questions and more in a powerful new video.
