My Situation Explodes Out of The Bronx with Their Debut Album 'A Mile from Nowhere'
"A Mile from Nowhere is a strong first full album effort from My Situation beyond the bounds of mainstream fare. Built upon a foundation of classic melodic hard rock, sound song composition is combined with notable musicianship to create an intriguing, genre-crossing compilation."
"As a reviewer or critical listener, it's hard not to become jaded or cynical about modern music in these commercially predictable times. What is thrust upon us by the mainstream labels usually does nothing more than suck the air out of musical viability and the money out of our wallets. This is probably the single best reason why I love to hear from independent, unsigned artists. Enter My Situation's A Mile from Nowhere, a delightful, infectious, and hardly predictable concoction of 12 genre-crossing songs."
Bronx, NY (PRWEB) November 4, 2009 -- My Situation explodes out from the Bronx with their debut album A Mile from Nowhere.

My Situation's album, A Mile from Nowhere officially released September 1st, 2009. The band however, started in 1998 having each taken a hiatus to pursue other goals . The songs have all been written by lead vocalist and guitarist Detor. Chris Peloso, long time friend of Detor has played drums on a few tracks.
A Mile from Nowhere
Detor started writing and recording music when you was just 17. Detor has been influenced by a variety of musicians and in My Situation you may be able to notice signs of some of them in the songs as it is a sound unique to its self. Detor digs deep down into his soul and his songs represent that it in his music. Some of the artists that influenced My Situation are: Alice in Chains, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Jimi Hendrix, Deftones, Black Sabbath, Randy Roads, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, The Cult, Anthrax, Living Colour and The Beatles.
My Situation is the project of songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Bronx New York native Detor. A quick audio overview shows that A Mile from Nowhere is not the usual fair cursing the pages of Rolling Stone or Spin magazines. One might even say Detor has slipped through a wormhole into the 70's or 80's because his music is far from what passes for modern fare. A Mile from Nowhere is classic melodic hard rock with emphasis on the melodic. Detor can sing without grunting or growling, and (gasp!) he can actually play a guitar solo."
"The strengths of A Mile from Nowhere are found in Torres' strong and diverse song composition, an emphasis on vocal arrangements, and his rather impressive fret skills. With an emphasis on melodic rock, My Situation can traverse the more subtle side on Remember the Day and Everything to things harder and heavier on Mind Ride and Night of the Dead. Detor is more than a little heavy-handed on the distortion throughout, but this quality coupled with the varied guitar work gives many songs a 70's psychedelic feel, especially on Only Soul or All Comes Down. Even the urban piece, The Crew, sounds less like today's hip-hop and more like glory days of the 1980's when rap and rock merged so eloquently." Visit us at www.mysituation.com
