Lime Regal began in early 2005 as an instrumental project between Steve Stetson, Ross Trinkaus, and Brian Carney. The three met at college in East Lansing, Michigan, where they played music together and rocked for their friends at bars and parties. They decided to take their efforts up a notch and live together in their final year at school, where close quarters and a basement of assorted instruments led to daily music-writing sessions and the development of a rhythmically diverse style of rock and roll.
When the three moved to Detroit in 2006, Brian took a short leave of absence while Ross and Steve looked for a vocalist. They met Nathan Abramson and found that his melodic vocal style and meaningful lyrical content fit perfectly with the driving riffs Ross and Steve were developing. The group began writing brand new material at their remote practice space in a Detroit industrial park, blending powerful melody-driven vocals, intense guitar solos, and strong bass and drum discourse to create a unique brand of rock n' roll voyage.
"Crunching big, loud riff-y blues rock with a sort of trippy, kinda angry hippie vibe %uFFFD la post-Houses Zeppelin," is how Real Detroit Weekly described Lime Regal's new sound in November of 2006. Numerous shows in and around Detroit created a solid following, while giving the guys invaluable experience entertaining crowds with engaging performances and stage presence.
In March of 2007, the group agreed it was time to record at a professional studio. Steve just so happened to be working at one outside of Detroit called Rustbelt Studios. The fortuitous combination of Lime Regal's poor financial situation and Steve's employment gave the group an opportunity to record in fervent bursts at odd hours, whenever the studio happened to be empty. With Steve at the mixing board and the rest of the group engineering, the band wrote and refined some of their newest music into six carefully arranged songs as an EP entitled Making Me Wonder.
The Making Me Wonder EP provides an inside look at what influences these musicians as songwriters. Spanning the musical spectrum from a dreamily melodic jazzy ballad to a loud, driving, monsterous rock and roll anthem, Lime Regal has successfully crafted a set of songs that shows how creatively diverse they can get without losing sight of their classic rock and roll heritage.
Expect the floodgates to open this August, as shows and radio interviews take place all over the Mid-West in support of the Making Me Wonder EP. Fervent online promotion and a well-developed live show will help to spread the word about Lime Regal even more. These will be performances that everyone should make an effort to see, because as Real Detroit Weekly pointed out in May, 2007; "Best to catch them now, because Lime Regal's big rock anthems were meant to fill stadiums, just as their softer pop pieces are surely destined for Top 40 radio."
