CAROUSEL – jeweler’s daughter

Pittsburgh rock ‘n’ roll band CAROUSEL will drop its awesomely-titled debut LP Jeweler’s Daughter on August 20 via Tee Pee Records. The dual guitar-driven four-piece ‘s music incorporates many elements, most notably the harmonized guitar lines of Thin Lizzy, the bombast of Mountain and the rhythmic propulsion of Diamond Head, Motorhead and other bands whose names include the word « head ». Now, respected hard rock haven The Obelisk gives heavy music fans a feast of sound, streaming Jeweler’s Daughter in its entirety while calling CAROUSEL’s riveting rock « a modern take on early ’70s swagger. »

CAROUSEL has been a mainstay of the Pittsburgh rock scene since its very first show in 2011, sharing the stage with local rock, metal and punk bands as well as touring acts such as Mount Carmel, Purling Hiss and Disappears, all the while demonstrating an earth-shaking ability to rock with each and every live performance. CAROUSEL’s Wheeler and Jake Leger (drummer for Pittsburgh indie-rock icons Karl Hendricks Trio) were previously members of noise-rock trio Magic Wolf, while second guitarist Chris Tritschler also plays in the PGH metal band Lady Beast. With CAROUSEL’s strong pedigree, instantly-memorable two-guitar harmonized lines (not so much like Iron Maiden, more like Wishbone Ash or Thin Lizzy) and rhythmic swing (or « Bill Ward-isms »), the band can easily hold the interest of punk and metal fans, but add in the charismatic vocals of Wheeler, and it also fits right in at a local yinzer bar. The band’s name is drawn from the futuristic sci-fi movie « Logan’s Run » and the device in the film that terminates young citizens once they reach the ripe age of 30.

CAROUSEL is the epitome of guitar rock. Based solely on the buzz from the successful self-release of Tears of Stone, their debut 12″ EP, CAROUSEL was was invited to join the Tee Pee Records family. Now, armed with a new full-length LP, CAROUSEL looks to make its move into the national spotlight.
