City of Love — Kerry Pastine and the Crime Scene

City of Love

Full-length LP  ·  Wipe It Off! Records  ·  September 13, 2019

Celebrating growth and change, City of Love explores themes of love and happiness with a musical architecture rooted firmly in the past yet stepping boldly forward. From grinding rock to breezy swing, from early Motown drama to droning slide guitar and a closing BB King blues — the range is extraordinary, the energy relentless.

Kerry Pastine — Vocals  ·  Pauly Six Shellooe — Guitar  ·  Troy Robey — Bass, Piano  ·  Andrew “AJ” Knight — Drums  ·  Mark Richardson — Hammond B3, Farfisa  ·  Guest vocals: Cass Clayton, Jessica Rogalski
