Wet Animal

11/29/05
. (Chipster) WET ANIMAL was founded in 1995 by guitarist Rick Wartell of seminal metal act Trouble. A veteran of the hard music world since Trouble's inception in 1977, Wartell is a man who knows what he's doing, with the singular goal of making solid hard rock music, and he has succeeded with Wet Animal. The three-piece also consists of West Virginian singer/guitarist Shane Pasqualla, drummer Jeff "Oly" Olson, and bassist Michael "Vito" Diprima.

They recently released their exceedingly strong self-titled Wet Animal CD with 10 tracks in a compact and musically succinct 46:46. One definite highlight is "Soul Alone," with the heavy grooves of Trouble updated Wet Animal-style, a great hook, soulful rock vocals, and a big big chorus, "This is what I imagined when we first formed Wet Animal," Wartell explains. He produced the effort between two studios in hometown Chicago and Massachusetts.[see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
