John Holland Experience is a power trio, born in a little cellar near Cuneo, formed by Simone Calvo (Flying Disk), Alex Denina And Francesco Martinat. His sound is a mixture of classic rock n’ roll with shades of rootsy blues that sometimes came out with heavy acid-stoner sounds, all sang in a easy listening Italian.

A really good album for this power trio from the province of Cuneo that settles on psychedelic hard blues coordinates, with the great value and courage of preferring Italian singing in a quite refractory genre such as stoner and derivatives, a choice that also denotes originality. The fundamental matrix of their sound is a hard blues of the Hendrix's school that doesn't disdain stoner turns towards the Monster Magnet style as in "Elicottero" or as in the heavy r'n'r of "Malvagio".

Also very valid in terms of writing are "Revival" and "Canzone d'Amore" , the first with a nice " Festa Pesta" is a funky blues with Hendrix's breaks while the truly most original moments that brought me back to the pages of funky hard blues of forgotten bands of the post-grunge era such as Mind Funk and Mr. Bungle are " Tenei Botta " true album masterpiece with acid and psychedelic breaks and "Ti Piace", a funky psych of remarkable workmanship. We carefully follow this band from Cuneo which has significant growth margins, especially in the funk psych territories, and this work proves it.
