With all of the elements of danger, lust, life,
rebellion and love, Souls Of We have crafted
an explosive debut album. "Apache Ghost" is
a modern rock album that can't be
pigeonholed to any time or genre. From
fueled rockers ("Push It", "Come and Go") to
songs about inner demons and personal
struggles ("January"), this band of Rock 'N'
Roll saviors is making music that's both
honest and innovative.
The collective foursome known as "Souls Of
We" marks a new beginning for legendary
guitarist George Lynch (Dokken, Lynch Mob)
and charismatic frontman London Legrand
(Brides Of Destruction). Lynch and Legrand
came together by a chance meeting on
Melrose. "Back when George was putting
together Lynch Mob, I read in a magazine
that he was looking for a singer" explains
Legrand. "I made a home-made audition
tape on my jam box and sent it to his
manager, but I never got a call back. Anyway,
years later I'm standing on Melrose Avenue in
Hollywood and I see George. I decided I
didn't have anything to lose, so I walked up to
him and said," How come you never got back
to me on that tape? He looked confused at
first and then started laughing. We hit it off immediately and he invited me
to come check out a new batch of songs he
was working on. He gave me a tape of music,
and that night I went home and finished 3
songs.” The chemistry between Lynch and
Legrand was instant and undeniable.
"London is a unique visionary and poet"
states Lynch. "His words are powerful and
descriptive. I feel like I have finally found my
musical soulmate.”
Rounding out the line-up is powerhouse
drummer Yael (Tom Morello, Alex Skolnick)
and bassist Johny Chow (Systematic, Fireball
Ministry). "Souls Of We is a dream band
where I got to pick and chose players not
because one is more famous than the other,
but because I really respect and want to play
with these people" states Lynch.
“Apache Ghost” was self produced in various
studios around LA and mixed by Mudrock
(Avenged Sevenfold, Godsmack). The record
features several guest musicians including,
drummer Morgan Rose (Sevendust) and
bassist Fred Leclercq (Dragonforce). “We
went in to this project with no funding, no
label, no producer and no band” explains
Lynch. “We were just doing demos and
making music that we wanted to make.
There was no one looking over our shoulders
and no deadlines. I can’t wait for people to
hear this record!"
