Ringside

Description

Ringside- RingsideAmazon.com Some will argue that the music of Ringside, the unignorably good-looking duo of Californians Scott Thomas and actor Balthazar Getty, is itself ignorable: Each trance and electronica-tinged song swings safely into the next, providing for a whole-disc experience that coasts pleasantly but fails to chug or challenge. Others--reviewers not put off by yet another celebrity sidelining as a rock star included--will argue that it's a great disc, and they will be right. Thomas, Ringside's tortured-sounding frontman, apes an irony-steeped Eels sound on some tracks and channels Joseph Arthur when he's in a more serious mood, but his handle on substance-suffused pop is his own. If he sidesteps power chords and pyrotechnics, it's in the interest of rounded riffs and reel-you-in hooks. Balthazar Getty, for his part, holds court in the beat department, and there he kills--"Talk to Me" pulses dreamily, and "Tired of Being Sorry" soars. Forced to choose among his talents, the fan conclusion might go like this: Forget White Squall and pull up a seat for Ringside.-Tammy La Gorce> Product Description Ringside is the creation of best friends Scott (singer/ songwriter) and Balt (beat master).The two LA based musicians started working together on music just experimenting and having fun. Not knowing what the end result was going to be, when they started, what would result was the birth of Ringside. Their music is a testament to the power of artistic experimentation and friendship. They wrote, engineered and produced their entire album in Scott's garage. If you listen closely you might hear a telephone ringing, dryer tumbling and friends stopping by. Geffen. 2005.
