'Abnormal Conditions' masterfully fuses rock, soul, folk, and 1960s pop into a dynamic, live studio performance. Backed by Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band veterans Soozie Tyrell and Lisa Lowell, the group boasts an undeniable musical pedigree.

Frontman Frank Migliorelli has had a varied and interesting career that includes stints developing computer and video games, Composing children’s music and designing educational media, as well was producing blues and soul records.

All those talents combine on ‘Abnormal Conditions’ along with some sharp songwriting.  ‘Fire Road’ delivers a stinging critique of the modern American right-wing landscape while, ‘Ever Since You Went Away’ is an upbeat, 1960s Brit Pop rocker with echoes of Lennon and McCartney.

Other highlights include the soulful ‘Ever Since You Went Away’, the dreamy  ‘She’s Been Waiting Forever’ featuring Tania Elizabeth, and the infectious rocker ‘Take the Wheel’.

‘Abnormal Conditions’ was recorded in a passionate, two-day blitz and this passion and energy washes over the listener in an aural treat to the senses.
