RELEASE ON THE KOOL KAT LABEL!  After three years, a pandemic, and the tragic loss of one of its members, SLD is back with its third (and second on the Kool Kat label) release, “Like Sunshine.”   Although their previous release “Lost” was issued in September of 2020, work on the songs for “Like Sunshine” began in the preceding February.  Mostly due to the pandemic, members Paul Costanza and Tom Parisi were unable to see each other at all during the writing and recording of the album, corresponding and collaborating only via phone, emails and texts.  While this did not vary markedly from the way they operated in the past, the in-person interactions were missed by both involved.  The 13 original songs have a variety of origins and sources.  Two of the songs (“I Need A Plan” and “I Gotta Be Here”) were written by Paul Costanza in the 90’s, re-recorded in 2020 and given new life through Tom’s always original and innovative guitar work.  Two more (“Friend Of A Friend” and “Anita”) were from some of their first 2013 collaborations, re-recorded after Tom Parisi’s passing in October of 2022, but using guitar tracks recorded by Tom for the original recordings.  The other nine tracks were written and recorded between 2020 and 2022, from the usual combination of desires, experiences and dreams.  Luckily Tom was able to contribute to two of them.  Like the ultra-melodic, 60’s drenched, 17-song “Lost”, Paul and Tom have once again delivered a heavily Brit-inspired (Beatles and Badfinger) gem that will immediately appeal to fans of both bands!  “Anyone familiar with my ‘The Music Authority’ podcast, knows that the key elements to a GREAT song are melody, harmony, and lyrics that have meaning… jangly guitars, a driving back beat, and a bass line that makes sense.  SLD deliver on all fronts.” – Jim Prell  “Wonderful jangling pop gems full of great chord changes and Tom's guitar riffs are supported by Paul's bright vocal that defines the SLD sound.” – Powerpopaholic.com  GREAT!!
