Second Tour:

"Tweed EQ

Second Tour

Tweed Records

The sophomore disc from Dallas’ Tweed EQ opens with an amplified funk jam titled “Retreat (Back to My Arms).” That’s no surprise from the Tweed guys, young dudes who dig the spicy merger of funk, R&B, blues and rock. Elsewhere, Second Tour travels through those four styles with varying degrees of intensity. Further highlights include “Love to Hate Myself” and “I Know a Thing or Two (About You).” This band is tight, folks. The joyful noise is contagious. Play it loud."

Harmonisizer:

"Itching for a hearty slice of old-school funk merged with vintage soul, rock and blues? Pick up Harmonisizer, the nine-track CD by Dallas' Tweed EQ, and scan right to "Stop!" Think Taj Mahal meets Smokey Robinson, as the band's vocalist and the tune's songwriter Paisley Ascott says. Winston Mingus' drums and percussion work drive the song, while Goose Trimmson's slap-happy bass and plenty of scratchy electric guitar from Sputnik Jones and Ascott make you move.
The vibe of Tweed EQ pulls from the '70s, whether the group is experimenting with R&B, rock or blues. In fact, just one listen to Harmonisizer and Isaac Hayes, War, Led Zeppelin, Van Morrison and Jeff Beck all immediately come to mind. Other standouts on the disc include "The Hawk," "The Drought" and "Soul Soothin'."

“The nine tracks that make up Tweed EQ's new record, Harmonisizer, showcase a band that recognizes the urgent, emotional essence of soulful and funky blues.”
-Kelly Dearmore, The Dallas Observer, March 25, 2010

“After reading the bio on Tweed EQ and reviewing their CD Harmonisizer, I found that their most endearing factor was simple. Simple down to earth Rock-n-roll /Blues, no over production here, just some good old roof raising music and lyrics. Holding the power of the Who in one hand and the soul of Zeppelin in the other, track 1 "Ode To Autumn" could have been the title cut to Dazed and Confused. Having grown up in the 70's I find this CD very refreshing. Alot of the music today is easy to describe: NOISE and shitty noise at that. Nice to hear a band that knows and cares about melody and rhythm. Track 3 "A Good Nights Rest" stands tall in the corner of that old school power blues I grew up partying to. On a scale of 1 to 5 *'s , Harmonisizer get's 5 *****.”

"Have you ever heard funky, bluesy Beatles? I have. In the form Tweed EQ. The Beatles reference isn't a musical reference, but a songwriting reference. This album is blues funk to the tee. The superior vocals, and "funky" arrrangements are a great combination on this album. Tweed EQ is a four part coalition of modern day, old school songs. It has the quality of vintage but with that twist of something on the verge of breaking it wide open."
