East coast rocker John Nickoloff has
released his newest EP, “Get Out of My Way.” The extended-play
album contains five original rock tracks over approximately seventeen
minutes' listening time, and represents Nickoloff's personal brand of
rock n' roll more appropriately than any of his work hitherto. The
album is a high-octane rock EP in the vein of acts such as Jon Bon
Jovi and Eddie Van Halen; however, there are numerous characteristics
about Nickoloff's much-more modern rock that surpass even the
excellence of legends such as these.
Unlike many favorite rock records of
global acclaim, Nickoloff's “Get Out of My Way” manages to keep
the power, pressure and heat on even in his (brief and infrequent)
moments of relative calm, whereas the work of musicians such as Jovi
or Def Leppard, for instance, often bench themselves for a ballad or
two that fail to match the style of their preceding and ensuing
tracks, thus draining the entire set of a degree of cohesive
intensity that John Nickoloff can maintain during even the most
gentle moments of “Not Giving Up” or “Forgive and Forget,”
two of the more balanced of the EP's tracks.
At the same time, Nickoloff also often
surpasses the level of aggression found in most traditional modern
rock music and winds up somewhere between modern rock and heavy
metal. This is best exemplified in the EP's closing number, “Friends
Like These,” which pounds so ferociously and with such dark
undertones that he edges closer to certain tracks by Megadeth than to
those by, say, the usually lighthearted AC/DC.
Regardless of the strong personality
that causes him to stand out, however, the most obvious comparison to
John Nickoloff in song composition, lyric phrasing, vocal style, and
percussion will always remain the great Jon Bon Jovi (to whom his
singing is gorgeously similar without being derivative), but
Nickoloff is edgier and less predictable. “Movin' On” has a tempo
that modern rock has never used – though Pink Floyd and The Beatles
have – and it fits into the “Get Out of My Way” set with an
adventurously creative, pop-punk feel beautifully.
John Nickoloff is no stranger to the
recording studio, nor to the stage, but it seems that now is the
perfect time for the rock n' roll public to get acquainted with him.
“Get Out of My Way” is available
online worldwide beginning early February, 2013.
