"Persistance, Resistance, One Man Can Make A Difference"

In mid-2005, CBS debuted “Rockstar: INXS,” a show searching for the next lead singer of the rock group INXS. The band suffered the tragic loss of original front man Michael Hutchence in 1997 after decades of performing and making great music. Through this show, the world was introduced to a relatively unknown artist by the name of Marty Casey. Casey finished second on the show, but this may have proven to be the best thing for him, allowing him to release this disc with his band of “lovehammers.” The self-titled album is a fist pumping, sing along and rock out good time from start to finish. It is definitely a high-energy album that catches your attention and Casey’s voice draws you in to listen on and on. His voice has a raw rock vibe that you can’t help but find enjoyable.
The lead single, “Trees,” debuted on the show and became an instant favorite among fans. You cannot help but smile and form some sort of connection with the lyrics. All of the songs are creative, with poetic and fun to listen to lyrics that make you think about their meaning after the song is over. All of the songs are on the rock side and are all basically close to the same medium tempo. There is not one track that you feel the need to skip, allowing the album to play straight through finishing before you realize it is even over and you have to start it all over again.
It is one of those albums that is just fun to listen to and enjoy without questioning it, satisfying fans' need for their music and waiting anxiously to hear more.
