About the Album

Blues lovers strap yourself in for the tone and fury of mid 50’s Chicago blues with Phil Coyne and The Wayward Aces debut EP "Sound and Fury".


Recorded on one track tape at Quasar studios in the heart of Melbourne "Sound and Fury" is a tribute to the energy and vitality of the early 50’s Chicago with its raw sounds bursting out of the instruments and sending VU meters into a frenzy.

Romping through six tracks, including four originals, the band is captured channeling the timing, tone and feel of some of Chicago's greats. Influences you'll hear include Little Walter, Howling Wolf, Otis Rush, Billy Boy Arnold and Muddy Waters.

All the originals were penned by Phil Coyne the blues harp blaster, singer and songwriter at the front and centre.

Recorded in glorious mono - most tracks are a single take, no overdubs, no corrections - high stakes with all foibles and fancies baked in.

It’s electric Chicago blues at its stripped back best as the three piece concentrate on tone, timing, passion and potency. Not suitable for polite society, this is loud, brash juke joint dancing blues.
