Roaring out of the fog-shrouded hills of Sonoma and drowning out the chatter, prog-pop troubadours PARDON THE INTERRUPTION<\/strong> (aka PTI) are taking their place and asserting their voice in the storied musical conversation of the San Francisco Bay Area. Available worldwide April 14, 2023, PTI\u2019s sophomore release HOT N\u2019 FRESH<\/em><\/strong> finds the band in full stride with nine original tracks mining every corner of the indie-pop-funk spectrum, always with a self-effacing smile and a nod to the progressive rock of the \u201980s and \u201990s that is the quartet\u2019s uniting influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a powerful energy and a unique sound, PARDON THE INTERRUPTION is a 4-piece fusion outfit that creates original music pulling from genres including rock, roots, funk, soul, ska, reggae, and more. One foot is planted firmly in the past, paying homage to some of the most singular and iconic artists of the \u201970s, \u201980s, and \u201990s. The other is stepping boldly forward, producing original material that is at once nostalgically familiar while also entirely modern and unique. But the nuanced complexity of their music never overshadows the raw energy and pure joy that characterize PTI\u2019s live performances, perpetually keeping audiences glued to the dance floor and ready for more. It\u2019s undeniable fun. It will make you dance. It\u2019s like a perfect pepperoni pizza. It\u2019s HOT N\u2019 FRESH<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Band leader, lead singer, and guitarist David Noble<\/strong> has assembled three of the finest, most versatile session musicians in Northern California, and as PARDON THE INTERRUPTION they have fostered a cohesion that transcends music. PTI\u2019s love for each other and for their craft is visceral. You can feel it. Engineer\/co-producer Sean Beresford<\/strong> captured that same energy in the sessions that laid the foundation for the HOT N\u2019 FRESH<\/em> album, recorded live with minimal overdubs at Calliope West<\/strong> in San Rafael, CA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Noble is a San Francisco native who has made stops in Denver and L.A. and is himself among the top echelon of Bay Area guitar-slingers when not fronting PTI with groups like Wreckless Strangers<\/strong> and Poor Man\u2019s Whiskey<\/strong>. As a child of the \u201880s, Noble\u2019s writing successfully synthesizes his love for pop legends like David Bowie, Talking Heads, and The Police with groundbreaking Bay Area art rock\/ska artists like Mr. Bungle and Fishbone \u2014 deeply personal and deceptively intricate songs sugar-coated with accessible and catchy hooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bassist Rob Fordyce<\/strong> (Peer Pressure<\/strong>, The Ring<\/strong>, Big Brother and the Holding Company<\/strong>) is a force of nature. Yes, he brings the funk, but that descriptor is far too narrow. Fordyce\u2019s propulsive groove and unstoppable enthusiasm are the engine of PTI, the heart and the soul that power the machine, and his explosive chops rival the best the Bay Area has to offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drummer Rob Hooper<\/strong> (aka The Other Rob) may be the most in-demand Americana drummer in Northern California, bringing his gravitas, experience, and rock-solid beats that were honed and hard-earned over decades in Austin, TX, where he worked with Jimmy Dale Gilmore<\/strong>, The Resentments<\/strong>, Carolyn Wonderland<\/strong>, and countless others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamison Smeltz<\/strong> (D8FeX<\/strong>, mRthKon<\/strong>, Ten Ton Chicken<\/strong>) is George\u2019s brother. (Just kidding!) He\u2019s the wild card \u2014 the joker \u2014 playing an eclectic array of instruments with jaw-dropping proficiency. Smeltz melds the art-pop sensibilities of Bowie and Prince with his shameless love for progressive rock icons like Yes who first inspired him to take up\u2026the saxophone? Yup, that\u2019s Jamison!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With each show PARDON THE INTERRUPTION is demanding the attention of fans of funk, pop, ska, jam, prog, and just plain rock n\u2019 roll. Their new album captures a band at the peak of their skills and creativity, poised to break into major venues and festivals nationwide. Best to catch them while they\u2019re HOT N\u2019 FRESH<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
