Editorial Reviews

Think Brit-flavored pop songs swayed by music of the Beatles, King Crimson, the Byrds, the Beach Boys, and early Pink Floyd, and one of the last places that comes to mind is Tel Aviv, Israel, whence hails four-piece band Rockfour. But in 2002, the release of their third Anglophone record, Another Beginning--with its ascending tempos and savory harmonies--started to change that perception, along with a growing media prominence and a slew of international tour-opening slots. Vocalist Baruch Ben-Izhak and guitarist Marc Lazare, who serve as co-producers of Memories, dig into George Martin's bag of tricks, peppering the ringing guitars that carry the eccentric 11-song mix with Mellotron, Wurlitzer, glockenspiel, and a congenial Hammond organ. Atypical for a pop band, Rockfour tend to indulge their playlist, with three of the numbers tracking in at six-plus minutes, though never leaning toward self-serving. More likely, the nomadic melodies and gifted lyricism are apt to reel you in, affirming Rockfour's rise to international acclaim and pop-starring Tel Aviv on the music map. --Scott Holter
Product Description
The melodic pop-trio Rockfour is back with their long awaited album - "Memories of the Never Happened", their first production on the Tel-Aviv based indie label AnovA Records. The album, recorded in San Diego at Earthling Studios and co-produced by Chris Berens and band members Baruch Ben Izhak and Marc Lazare marks the bands move to its new label and management company. The album s single, 'Goes Around' is already receiving airplay on AAA and college radio and the nationally- syndicated Sounds Eclectic from KCRW in Santa Monica The album includes 11 energy-packed tracks mixed with vaulting jams and melodic harmonies. Guitarist Ben Izhak s trademark 12 strings Rickenbacker sound dominates Rockfour s disc with mesmerizing solos and a catching hook in almost every track. The long-anticipated disc comes on the heels of Rockfour s triumphant first place showing in the prestigious Arnold Layne Cover song contest with David Gilmour as the judge himself. With a first prize of a free day of recording at Studio 2 at Abbey Road Studios. In addition, Rockfour will receive a new band logo from Storm Thorgensen of Pink Floyd fame as well. Memories of the Never Happened follows Rockfour s previous release 'Nationwide' (Rainbow Quartz) which was recorded at Ghetto Recorders in Detroit with producer Jim Diamond (The White Stripes) in 2004. Rockfour s music has continually garnered Accolades from top media outlets such as National Public Radio, the New York Times, Rolling Stone and the Los Angeles Times (which dubbed it a "world-class band flexing its musical muscles."
