Meet The Christ Stains! ( www.cdbaby.com/cd/robertjhurns1 and www.thechriststains.hearnow.com ) contains all original music and invokes a cinematic landscape located between rock and soundtrack, aided by treated guitars and keyboards that emulate muscular sounds such as piano, violin, cello, saxophone and pipe organ. Each song tells a story with the melodic ‘Last Day’ written about the fleeting summer.
Three Chicago music fanatics and cinefiles make up the Christ Stains band – Hurns, Pete Zimmerman (former Chicago Public Schools Principal) and James Grogan (lawyer, educator). Chicago guitarist Ron Steta, who has played with several top-rated Billboard bands, adds burning guitar play to many songs. Hurns has played in Chicago bands Radio Whip, The Texas Chainsaw Experience, the Tortfeasers and created the ‘Safety March’ theme for an international safety organization’s 100th anniversary used for its film and other applications.
Hurns’ earlier solo albums are Crabby Road (available at www.cdbaby.com/cd/rjhurns and www.robertjhurnscrabbyroad.hearnow.com ) and Music from Imaginary Movies (at www.cdbaby.com/cd/rjhurns2 and www.robertjhurnsmusicfromimaginarymovies.hearnow.com ) ; found at CD Baby.com.
The just released Castle of the Von Font Counters ( http://store.cdbaby.com/cd/thevonfontcounters and www.thevonfontcounters.hearnow.com ), said to make Dracula rock, is also winning rave reviews from worldwide listeners.
