With the release of the self-titled Hazel Gaze II album, Hazel Gaze takes the best parts of several rock genres to create a sound all their own. With addictive progressions, loads of character, and a classic feel, the track boasts the aesthetic of hard rock anthems.
One of the singles, "Dirty Little Secrets" showcases the band's ability to deliver songs with a message and with style to boot.
"This album is clearly coming from a band that have a real love for their craft and when I say that I don't just mean driving drums or ripping guitars, belting vocals or walking bass lines, I mean writing songs together to put out into the world so that people can feel something from them.
I think it's important to have songs with messages and these guys deliver a lot of that.
- Recording Artist Guild
Hailing from NYC, Hazel Gaze is comprised of veteran musicians from diverse backgrounds ranging from recording / touring to Broadway pits to formal classical training to bars and clubs - all wrapped up in rock 'n roll goodness! Their 2017 debut was the brainchild of Guitarist / Keyboardist / Songwriter Russ Soper and Lead Vocalist Hanz, creating music purely for the love of it.
Blending 90s rock influences ranging from The Black Crowes, Lenny Kravitz and Soundgarden to 70s icons such as Led Zeppelin and Humble Pie, the material that would become Hazel Gaze’s debut album was recorded in Russ’ Brooklyn basement studio. Bassist Konrad Payne joined the project shortly afterward and the band completed a string of highly-successful NYC-area shows.
During a COVID-induced hiatus, Russ crafted the material that would become Hazel Gaze II. With the assistance of Grammy-winning Producer / Engineer Daniel Alba (Jack White, Tom Morello, Norah Jones), Hazel Gaze is now back with their sophomore effort, mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Oscar Zambrano (Sting, Justin Timberlake). The band has expanded to include Vocalist / Pianist Mary Jo Verruto, Drummer Spiros Arnakis and Vocalists Molly Klein and Nicole Riolo. With this newly enhanced lineup, the band is eagerly anticipating bringing their new music to NYC-area stages.
