About the Artist

There is a buzz pulsing from the oaks and cornfields of Upstate New York...

Following in the footsteps of some of the most interesting and influential powerhouses in the entertainment industry (Ani DiFranco, Goo Goo Dolls, Natalie Merchant and Lucille Ball, to name a few), the independent rock band NAVAR is busy cultivating a following in the rust belt of the northeast to make a name for themselves. Founded in one of the most rural counties in New York state, NAVAR has embraced the grassroots growth approach and continues to employ ruthless, guerilla music marketing campaigns and tactics. This relentless assault has proven to be successful, gaining the band significant regional and national attention.

Find out what legions of fans already know. NAVAR rocks!

Last spring NAVAR teamed up with Robby Takac (one third of the Goo Goo Dolls) in his state-of-the-art Buffalo studio and recorded one of the most notable independent, self released, full length albums of the year

5.0 out of 5 stars Open "Your Window"...and get a breath of fresh rock air..., May 13, 2004

By	Lynn Barry (Lynn Barry, author of "Puddles" and "Bjoyfl") - See all my reviews

"Your Window" gives the listening audience a little of this and that and a lot of hope for music lovers of all ages.
Hope? Yes, hope...The ability to reach out to all ages makes "Your Window" in a class by itself...Little kids are smiling and singing along to the unique lyrics by band creator Pat as well as elderly alternative rock enthusiasts.
Don't forget the teen crowd, they are ga-ga over it. Okay, the original music works on many levels...making easy listening with an attitude a revolutionary style. The band NAVAR is blazing the trail. And I envision others will follow. But will they be able to compete? Maybe not. Grammy's, Golden Globe, People's Choice...all in Pat's, Ben's, Skippy's, and Tim's futures...for sure!

5.0 out of 5 stars Midwest Book Review, April 22, 2004

By	Laurel Johnson (Kansas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Navar has done it again. With Your Window, 15 new original songs enhance their reputation for solid vocals and driving, penetrating rock. A single from this latest CD - "Mojave Shake" - is already garnering air time in rock stations that know a good thing when they hear it.

The members of Navar - Pat and Ben Barry, Tim Lindhome, and Mike "Skippy" Yudichak - are making a name for themselves on the East coast. With talent like this, the rest of the country should soon follow.

"Your Window" and "Walking to Hawaii" are full bodied and haunting. "On Again" and "Near the End" are bluesy and erotic. "Mojave Shake" and "Dying Breed" feature Navar's signature cadences that penetrate to the marrow. And somewhere just beneath the surface lies the primal Irish folk rock sound that sets this band apart from all the rest. I mention only a few of the songs here. There's not a bad one in the bunch.

Your Window was recorded at Chameleonwest Studio in Buffalo NY, owned by GooGoo Dolls bassist Robby Takac. Takac and studio manager Marc Hunt produced the album. The end result is high quality, all the way. If you love rock and roll, Your Window is a must have. Included with each CD is a 16 page color insert about the band and a full size Navar bumper sticker. Along with this band's unique sound, I say you can't beat a deal like that.
