Music to Know: Moretta

One thing that I will always be #dbsobsessed with helping the people I know in promoting their work, ESPECIALLY when they are going out and starting a venture on their own. I know how important the support of your network is, and am sure I would not have the life I have now, were it not for the support I have received since starting DBS: Culinary-Minded Marketing.

With that in mind, I was thrilled to hear that a friend from my childhood in the amazing Wood River Valley, has a band, and that they will be releasing self-titled, debut album on April 14th, 2015.

The band: 
Moretta

The story:
What started as a simple, "Hey man, we both like hardcore... you wanna make some songs?" between Joe Paisley and Kc Marotta, quickly evolved into, "Dude, these are turning out damn good. We should probably keep going." The two of them went into the studio with the barebones goal of creating an album they would be truly proud to call their own. Once the album was complete, Moretta brought on Zach Wirchak (Guitar) and Conner Schneberger (Bass), both bringing outstanding musicianship to Moretta's core.

Moretta's debut album was recorded and produced at Rainbow Trout Studios in Spokane, WA by Bill Nieman and Joe Paisley and mastered by Grammy Award winner, 11 time RIAA Certified Gold and Platinum Recording recipient, Alan Sanderson.

In a genre that has become increasingly stagnant by imitation, Moretta finds their footing by refusing to let the genre define them. Every song meticulously crafted to deliver that special something listeners feen for. With choruses you'll catch yourself singing at work, blended tastefully with breakdowns you can't help but play along to on your steering wheel, Moretta truly brings it. 

Lyrically, they challenge you to look within to find purpose and meaning, urging you to no longer accept the lies being fed through news and religion; Moretta is asking you to think for yourself, find forgiveness, and take on your internal demons with strength.
