WALKING WEAPON
In the midst of the college blues, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and bandleader Ben Sherstinsky had turned a calm riff into something of an unbridled rage. Lyrics followed, with Ben narrating the story of a man who had endured the worst trauma imaginable--but came out of it a beast at life, an unstoppable force—the Walking Weapon. After writing the song, Ben recorded each instrument and vocals with this energy. In the Davis, CA scenes it became an instant hit at shows. Walking Weapon is a feral yet soulful cry for those who have been through the deepest of hell and seek to come out of it, or have come out of it but with scars remaining. Whoever is listening--YOU are the Walking Weapon. Stream it here.
COVID BLUES
‘Covid Blues’ is about getting Covid all the time—we’ve all been there. Davis, California-based rockers Highway Terrier are bringing back early blues-influenced classic rock, and their energy will hit you harder than a bout of the sickness. While Ben Sherstinsky is the band's guitarist in the live setting, Ben played every instrument (guitar, drums, bass, trumpet), sang lead vocals, and wrote all the music and lyrics for the song.
