The Discarded – The Green Door

Well, here it is, The Discarded’s sixth full length studio album, ‘The Green Door.’  It’s been quite the evolution for the band from when a 13-year-old drummer, Caden, and his 17-year-old bassist brother, Jared, started out with their Cramps/Ramones influenced debut in 2016 along with their seasoned punk rock dad, JP, on guitar and vocals. Don’t get me wrong they still wear those influences on their sleeves as well as other heavier rock influences on these ten new, original kick ass rock tunes. It’s riffing, it’s rocking, and it dares you not to move your ass.

‘The Green Door’ sees a cross section of influences from garage rock, old school punk, metal, ‘60’s rock, MC5, Stooges, Motörhead and ‘70’s rock all thrown into the mix and one song that’s just a curve ball. It was recorded at Green Door Studios – hence the album’s name – under the excellent guidance of John Critchley, who produced and mixed the album. They employed the help of Michael McKenzie on additional guitar to up the riff factor, Carmen Toth on background vocals and even Lee Rose of Ace of Wands with a heavy metal violin on one track, (yeah, you read that right). Rounding out the album is the cover design by illustrator Rachael Muir, (that is a work of art) and mastering by the legendary Joao Carvalho. So yeah – blah, blah, blah – give the damn thing a listen and tell us whatcha think.

About the Band: The Discarded are a three-piece band originating from Orangeville Ontario, Canada. They are Caden Wasson on drums, Jared Wasson on bass and JP Wasson on guitar and vocals.
