VHF RELEASES NEWEST “Backside of Your Eyes”

Orange County, CA (April 28, 2015) - Rock legends (Vinciguerra Hoekstra Franklin) release latest video “Backside of Your Eyes” from the self-titled killer rock instrumental CD, Very High Frequency. VHF featuring drummer Todd "Vinny" Vinciguerra (the brain child behind the project), guitarist Joel Hoekstra's (Whitesnake, Night Ranger, Trans-Siberian Orchestra) and bassist Tony Franklin (The Firm, Blue Murder, Kenny Wayne Shepherd) have released their latest video from their critically acclaimed CD Very High Frequency produced by Joe Floyd, Todd “Vinny” Vinciguerra and Tommy Kessler (Blondie) and mastered by David Donnelly.


“What an amazing set. In fact, makes my “best of 2014” list. It’s got a great combination of progressive rock, jam band, space music and more. Everything here works really well and the whole thing flows like one cohesive piece.” - G. W. Hill, Music Street Journal

Vinciguerra’s unique sequence of writing starts with the drum composition setting the tone before heading to Franklin for chord progression and underlying groove. Once a groove is established, the rhythm tracks are set in place for guitar virtuoso Joel Hoekstra's independent interpretation. The music is created from the bottom up with the drums being the creative force behind the band. Each musician has complete artistic freedom and the final pieces lie perfectly together for a magnificent masterpiece.

“All musicians involved get to stretch their musical muscle and simultaneously showcase their abilities. The guitar, drums and bass lay down a constant groove to keep your head bobbing. “Suspended Animation” is like a Led Zeppelin composition, with a Steve Vai-ish trippy thing going on, mixed in with classical guitar runs. “Conception to Death (For 8 Guitars)” is another mind-bender Very High Frequency is a trip of sonic explorations.” - John Kindred, Hard Rock Haven.net
