The Offliners

Offliners Is a band based on many years of love for music. The most pervasive component in this is rock music, but also detours to other elements are present. When music really plays, it can move the listener - and you have like that community with others regardless of age, gender, religion, color, nationality and other conditions that otherwise help to create distances.

There is a lot of love for music in its creation and performance - and with many concerts, rock archaeological excavations in bygone record stores and years of listening to records, singles, CDs, digital services and all other outlets… ..

The name "Offliners" is an expression that you can sometimes do the opposite of being Online - and give yourself time to meet the physical surroundings and impressions.

Robert Johnson

As one of the pioneers of recorded blues, and more specifically the delta blues genre, Robert Johnson was essential in the popularity of blues despite the remarkable fact that the only recordings which exist of him are from a period in 1936 and 1937.

He is known primarily for as a classic blues singer accompanied by erratic blues guitar, with hit blues songs such as “Cross Road Blues” and “Sweet Home Chicago”, which have almost become synonymous with the genre.

Born in 1911, Robert Johnson found little success during his lifetime, and his life was in fact cut short in 1938, aged just 27, under mysterious circumstances.

The back of his death certificate mentions ‘complications with syphilis’ but his contemporary David Honeyboy Edwards (who is believed to have performed with Johnson days before his death) insisted that Johnson was poisoned. 

Johnson’s songs have managed to stand the test of time with various modern covers over the years; “From Four Until Late” was performed by Cream on their debut album, and  “They’re Red Hot” was done by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers on their album “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” (albeit, hardly recognisable). 

Although he is primarily famous as a master of blues guitar, it would be amiss to leave Johnson out of this list, considering his status as a blues pioneer, and the sheer fact that he had a great voice. 

It’s hard to underestimate his influence on the history of Blues music; his international appeal with artists like Eric Clapton on the other side of the Atlantic played a pivotal role in the 1960s British blues movement. 

The Static Dive

 

The Static Dive is the professional name of singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist producer, Bob Smith. From his studio in upstate NY he works remotely with LA-based co-producer Kilo House to create genre-bending indie psychedelic rock, pop and Trip-hop. 

An obsessive creator, Bob has spent the last 25 years making music and writing words. In the 90s he toured the Northeastern college circuit with his influential experimental ska/jam/funk band Shu. In the studio, over the years he has written and recorded hundreds of songs as a solo artist and with his americana/alternative rock band The Distractions. 

Throughout his tenure in music, Bob has also worked extensively on the business side of the business. He made a big splash as a founding partner and the primary technical architect of the revolutionary HitPredictor.com song testing system. He has worked as a producer and host in both radio and television, and he has written for Billboard magazine, TV, radio, newspapers and now for his own popular music blog.

 Since debuting as The Static Dive in 2018, Bob has released nearly two dozen tracks ranging from tripped out downtempo space instrumentals to radio-ready indie-pop bops. He has collaborated with artists from around the world. In 2021 The Static Dive was signed to German record label FBP Music Group. 

And the adventure continues. 

Takin'off

The band's new work is a global rethinking of the famous Nirvana hit. The track made a lot of noise among the fans. The band definitely put their whole soul into their version of "Something in the Way" and received the highest ratings from rock radio stations. The track features live instruments which gives the composition a special warmth and atmosphere. The project team invited the strongest rock musicians for the recording, 19 people worked on it. Takin'off's previous cover track "Come Together" hit the radio in 19 countries, gaining more than a thousand airplays in the first three months of rotation.'

Elour

 

"Fade", the first single from Elour's debut full length album "Blood Running", excites and pleases with a delicious blend of rock rhythms and pop stylings.

Listening you may be reminded of Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Blondie, Garbage, or Elastica. Sort of, but not quite. It recalls the past and adds something new that's hard to pinpoint, but easy to groove to.

It's cynical, aggressive lyrics about the life expectancy of a new relationship are, according to songwriter and lead vocalist Elizabeth Ghandour, applicable to any 'bright and shiny' new thing in an attention deficit world, be it a new partner, new drug, new car, new app, new location, etc.

Clocking in at a brisk 3:15, it won't demand too much of your attention, but it will keep it.

HiSQ & Jessie Galante

Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee Some More,” the 7th single by HiSQ, is a praise for rock ’n’ roll.

The lyrics were co-written with featured singer Jessie Galante from Buffalo, New York. She believed that the song was about how you should allow the force of the music you love overtake you and that you can never get enough of it.

The song has an infectious stomping beat and the guitars were influenced by Wilko Johnson, who had recently passed away when the band went into the studio. Playing guitar without a guitar pick gave the song extra roughness honoring him as the great guitarist from the band Dr. Feelgood.

The second half of the song demonstrates to everyone how captivating rock music can be.
Once the song is over, you'll probably want to listen to it again in part because of Jessie’s impressive vocals.

Wild Wisteria

In the words of music reviewer Jon Wright: 'Fans of monumental Rock energies and emotionally available, deeply positive lyricism, will find themselves completely hooked by the sound and style of Wild Wisteria! Incredible overall sound! Start to finish.'

Wild Wisteria is both the band name and title track of the third album. The source of inspiration comes from the woody twining vine, with beautiful purple flowers, that will climb and tangle its tentacles around anything in its path. A wisteria plant is resilient and keeps coming back, no matter how often it is cut. Wild Wisteria seemed like a metaphor for the human qualities that singer-songwriter, Malcolm Raedel, most admires in life.

The song has been included on the compilation albums, "#1 Best Rock Singer Songwriters "and "Carefree Summer (25 Chill & Feel-Good Tunes)" on the Compigram label.
