Mark "ice flow master" Lettieri does it again. Drumming and bass are off the chart!!

[@benjaminstephens7524]

When the drummer smiles, you KNOW things are going well! 😎

[@jeffdamon1098]

Love to watch this groove

[@ivankachkovski]

Sounds so familiar... probably just because I’ve been listening to the record all day?! Killer tune and great playing!

[@zacman45]

Feeling it all over again. Your music flows through me like endorphins. Thanks Mark!

[@ikigomez1407]

KILLER!

[@williamdoycebrown8172]

What a fantastic sound~USA

[@pascaladesina]

anybody else notice that the focus constantly shifting between Mark's solid lead tone and the rest of the band's input feels like an argument between two stubborn people...? and maybe? that's why? it's called... Blockheads?

[@Bix12]

Mark's rippin' it on the outro!

Beautiful! Great complex tone on this one. I'd love to see the signal chain. Feels like an overdrive mixed with an octave fuzz? Killer. Love the new stuff. Keep 'em coming. Keith

[@Zaccaria72]

Amazing!

[@Superstacco]

This is great. The rhythms (not so much the leads) remind me of Vernon Reid's oft overlooked first solo album, Mistaken Identity.

[@marcwesley8513]

Hey Mark….I just stumbled upon your You Tubing videos…..you guys absolutely kill it….Blockheads has such a deep pocketed groove..luv it…..Wes is so fun to watch, he’s one with his axe, like he’s takin her out for a night of dancing’. JT is sooooo smoothe, it’s so cool, his fills and riffs are clean and sterile, tasty, oh so good…..he doesn’t overplay, deep pockets are sweet, he just pumps out the glue to hold it all together and make it all sound good, he’s one of the few drummers that plays the drums like a tuned instrument that is the foundation of a great band, adds his part equally….nice stuff guys…..keep it crankin,…..thx for great music!

[@ericgerber4099]

Am I detecting some Zeppelin influence on this one?

[@coastercook]

Great song. Did you guys record playing all at the same time or did you each track your part individually? I never see more than one person playing in the shot at a time. Lots of good guitar ideas in this. Thanks.

[@mjlettieri]

Thanks! The drums, bass, and some rhythm guitars (there are a few stacks) were recorded together. Melodies, solos, extra rhythm tracks, and synths were overdubbed. We shot with just two cameras to keep the shots tight on purpose. But everything that's filmed is a live take, no miming.

[@lancecass8997]

@@mjlettieri and that's when the magic happens. This is missing in a lot of current formats of music. Thanks Mark, for helping keep Jams alive and inspiring as you do what you love. I feel music is making a comeback, and you and a few others are carrying the flag. We appreciate what you do.

Beck, Zappa & Lettieri

[@MisterNiles]

This is actually really good. When KZbin recommends a piece of music for me it's usually way off. I think I got this because of some of the players, lessons I've been watching. Guitar, bass and drums. I think I'm just getting old, and I've always been a snob. when I see someone playing a PRS it's an instant turn off. Maybe that's because I'm from Southern Maryland and the company is a point of pride for many. I've also known so many people who have worked for them over the decades. Or that the bass has too many strings :) This is so good though. Solid playing with zero wankery. Good composition. Reminds me of something right out of 1970s library music. If there was a track that had the tags: prog influenced, TV show soundtrack.It's like someone asked Fripp and Manzenera to do the theme to The Rockford Files, but he had a late 90s version of Crimson with him. I've listened to it 4 times in a row. Not one misstep in this. It's kind of perfect. Must explore more from this guy and this killer band.

[@jankafka7330]

"when I see someone playing a PRS it's an instant turn off" Seriously? That is one of the most absurd things I've been exposed to in a long time. And we're in the age of that absurd fat bastard Trump.

[@ryanharrison3777]

MisterNiles prs makes good stuff. It just so happens that a lot of people that own them are old dudes who can’t play them. They sound sick in the right hands.

[@MisterNiles]

@@jankafka7330 I agree. It's fucking ridiculous. Completely absurd. I acknowledge that. I'm sure you have some silly biases too. Like I said. I live in Southern Md. I've been hearing the hype for so long, it drives me nuts. I personally think the guitars are okay, but I'd go for an old Yamaha (SG) or Ibanez professional if I wanted a Gibson-esqu guitar. If I cared about the way a guitar looked and wanted pretty wood. Try living in an area where people who worked for PRS at some point are all whispered about in hushed tones, even if they just sanded their arms off to get a PRS at cost. You might get annoyed and form a bias.

Everything is gold that Mark touches. As a side note, does that PRS have the lowest action ever? It looks like the strings are touching the frets.
