Postmark Twain 5-song
"Cause and Effect"
by Susie Salva
New Jersey natives feel good musicians Postmark Twain are bent on making their
mark producing a slick follow up to their first EP, "Timing Is Everything," with their
5-song EP entitled, "Cause and Effect" that showcases their unique brand of
honest, straight-forward music. Technically falling under the pop moniker, these
guys are poised for greatness.
Postmark Twain has become one of the most talked about bands on the Internet
and listening to their EP makes it obvious to see why they have met with three
major labels, topped the unsigned charts on Purevolume.com and named one of
the Top 40 unsigned bands in the nation by The Daily Chorus.
What began as a songwriting experiment between two estranged New Jersey high
school friends became a movement when vocalist/guitarist Jim Gaven and David
Sanchez realized they had the same musical hopes and aspirations. Combing their
life experiences, and desire to bring joy to the masses, Jim and Dave entered the
studio in May 2006 and cut a catchy hook laden 5-song EP titled, "Timing Is
Everything."
The incredible response from fans and the music industry pushed Postmark Twain
to work even harder in 2007, adding lead guitarist Matt Leibowitz and drummer
Paul Marmo to the line-up. Postmark Twain began to branch out of the home state,
generating loyal followers up and down the east coast and even reaching into the
mid-west. Their easy-to-approach personalities allowed them to be one of the most
accessible bands on the Internet, often times messaging back thousands of fans
daily.
With all the attention they garnered, they began their second chapter entering the
studio with producer Rob Freeman (Cobra Starship, Hidden in Plain View, Hit the
Lights) in December 2007 to create their follow up EP, "Cause and Effect" a 5-song
voyage about letting go, starting over and moving forward.
"The Perfect Start," the first track on the EP dealing with the desire to set things
right and begin anew, has a striking guitar solo and that feel good vibe. "Gotta Let
Go," a high-energy song takes a look at living life separately and freeing one’s
soul. "Graduation," tries to put the pieces back together and find happiness going
separate ways. "Matter of Seconds," talks about not missing the chance to move
forward and the excitement of a new relationship. Finally, rounding out the EP is
"Our Escape," experiencing the real thing and defining one’s place in the world.
You would be hard pressed to find an unsigned artist with an EP that sounds this
good, artistically, as well as sonically. After the amazing success of their first two
years, Postmark Twain is looking forward with confidence, ready to gain new fans.
Be part of their movement and get caught in their wave of success.
