The Respectables

About The Respectables The Respectables formed in early 2004 to write and record timeless rock and roll featuring hook-filled pop songs with a story to tell. The Respectables combine equal elements of power pop, rock, , and classic tones to create their version of the truth. Nick Piunti (vocals, guitar) Joey Gaydos (guitar, bass, vocals) and Donn Deniston (drums, vocals) mix their many influences into something both familiar yet very much their own. Pop songs with a Detroit rock and roll attitude, along with Guitar Joey's knack for creating "can't get it out of your head" guitar riffs combine for a dose of real rock and roll. As 2008 comes to a close, The Respectables release their new album, "Sibley Gardens". The idea was to continue what they started, only this time make it better than before. Elelven songs of get to the point power pop fueled by Joey Gaydos's electric guitar, Donn Deniston's mighty groove, and Nick Piunti's distinctive pipes. Add Kurt Wolak ..boards, Jake Tobias on harmony vocals, Pete Bankert engineering, Geoff Michael producing and mixing, and mission accomplished. Check it out. Better yet buy it! Review from digstation.com Disclaimer: I know a couple of the guys involved in this band (I won't say who) so I'm slightly biased. This is not a combination of people that should work and the slightly uneven CD that precedes this one would bear that out but this disk absolutely works on every level. I don't know what happened in the lengthy gap between CD's but it certainly resulted in a much more unified sound. The songs are better, the sound is better, the playing sounds more like an ensemble and less like a recording project. This is power pop with the emphasis on "Power". No ballads here my friends just good old Detroit style rock 'n roll. I won't insult the band by trying to draw "sounds like" comparisons but if you like pop music with bite, this is destined to be your favorite CD for quite a while. If this were a fair world, "Sibley Gardens" would be a smash hit splattered all over the airwaves. These days I hope the band finds a solid audience out there in Internetland and gets some recognition for a solid, unpretentious and honest bunch of damn fine songs and performances. Buy the disc, download the songs, tell your friends and play air guitar along with Mr. Gaydos (a Detroit legend) and friends. You won't regret it, I promise. FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF THE RESPECTABLES' NEW CD "SIBLEY GARDENS: "Your IPO song, "Charged by the Minute", is one of those songs which goes through my head the most." -David Bash, International Pop Overthrow "Your track on the IPO compilation, "Charged by the Minute", is one of my favorites. -Bruce Brodeen, Not Lame Recordings The Respectables new cd, "Sibley Gardens" is a must for fans of The Replacements, Tommy Stinson, Bash and Pop, and "De Nova" era Redwalls. You know, garagey, melodic, guitar-fueled, pop-rock delivered with a bit 'o bar room swagger. We're diggin the Stonesy "Chemically Changed" a ton. If I was in a band, this is exactly the kind of music I'd want to play. Great! -Ray Gianchetti, Kool Kat Musik
