The Fondas


The Fondas from Detroit just released a new record, "Runaway Bombshell"on Sympathy Records. The single, "Make You Mine" is a Kinks-ish jam with a big drum sound. The Fondas display the influences of rock n roll and old timey blues on the new record. "Runaway Bombshell" is mostly original material some of it sounds like it could have been made in the 50's like the Mark Niemenski's piano and saxophone driven "Might As Well Go" but the record jumps around to modern formats with intense ballad performances like "Infatuation" and "What" moving through soul covers like "Upset My Soul" to the twangy country sounds of Steve Shaw's "Tell Me Lovesick Blues" to fast paced numbers like Greg Cartwright's song "Don't Come Back". Julie Benjamin is the main character of the group singing with strong and natural style. The Fondas are sure to have success with this record. Check out the Fondas.
