MACH22 – The Best Of : Greatest Hits (2024) *HQ*

If there’s a band that has been working tirelessly and paving its way to recognition in the hostile present US market for ’80s influenced hard rock acts, one of them would be MACH22, the group of Sebastian LaBar, son of legendary guitarist Jeff LaBar from Cinderella.
With killer riffs, bluesy rhythms and soulful delivery, the band’s songs span an emotional spectrum capturing that classic hard rock feel yet with a refreshing modern edge. Initially compared with Badlands, Aerosmith, Blue Murder… and of course Cinderella, Mach 22 have their own identity.
Now 2024, today December 13th, MACH22 is releasing “The Best Of : Greatest Hits” a selection of their best songs taken from their albums / EP’s, standalone singles, and including 2 brand new songs.

Yes, MACH22 music is strongly influenced by Badlands, Aerosmith, Blue Murder… and of course Cinderella, but also more recent exponents of this blues-type hard like Red Dragon Cartel or Vandenberg’s Moonkings.
Sebastian LaBar, who was personally trained by his father and quickly set out on his own with a distinctive soloing, is accompanied by versatile singer Lamont Caldwell (Erykah Badu Band, Dave Matthews Band), bass player Jaron Gulino (Charm City Devils), guitarist Ted Merrill (Dizzy Reed Band, Uli Jon Roth) and drummer Damian MonteCarlo.

MACH 22 is a talented young band that really shines through the well written, confident and catchy songs with solid hard rock riffs & engaging lyrics.
The band take us on a high octane journey; Greatest Hits has the pulsating power and swagger of classic Aerosmith mixed with the punch of Blue Murder, the bluesy side of Cinderella and with a dash of heavy funk thrown in for good measure. It’s tough to pick favorites as all the songs are strong and have its own charm.
