On the heels of The Cringe's tour dates with
Trapt and in anticipation of their upcoming album Hiding In Plain
Sight (out October 9th on Listen Records),
The Cringe share “String You Along So Long,” which just premiered on AOL's Noisecreep. Set to a prog-punk musical landscape, the
track is a “middle-finger to the corporate media assault that insinuates itself
into every aspect our lives and minds,” says guitarist James Rotondi.
From the down-and-dirty, D-Generation-style boogie rock of “Gotta
Find A Way” to the Neil Young-like super ballad “Make Me Something,” the songs
on Hiding in Plain Sightcertainly do not hide their eclectic
intentions. “Rushing Through the World,” an unholy alliance of Rage Against the
Machine-era riff rock and King Crimson-style lattice-work, is an almost
Buddhist appeal to turn inward before we blow up the outside world: “It’s a sin
we all commit/We’re running from ourselves, lost again from where there’s
stillness.”
Through the band's career, they have accumulated a devoted
fan base and won over fellow artists such as Bob Schneider, Vertical
Horizon, and Sister Hazel, all of whom have invited The Cringe
to accompany them on tour. They have additionally hit the stage alongside acts
such as The New York Dolls, The Hold Steady, The
Bravery and Fuel. Perhaps the biggest fan of the band is food
celebrity and alt-rock aficionadoRachael Ray, who married lead singer
John Cusimano in 2005. Be sure to check out the sampler below for a
sneak peek at Hiding In Plain Sight.
