StringBone Southern Ontario songwriter Barry James Payne is the architect of String Bone, the artistic vehicle for his solo songwriting. In the new release ‘Wow! Oh Yeah!’, Payne explodes into electric grunge & funk guitars, screaming Wow! Oh Yeahs, while a female chorus urges hope, amidst his nonchalant testimony of the times we are living in with a sarcastic Bukowski-like narrative going for the jugular of the world’s leaders who continue to do little despite the seeming urgency of our approaching doom. The song culminates in a frenzied chaotic finish in a heaping hot mess, before which Payne wonders what could happen if we looked at the world a little differently, claiming that things probably won’t change, but they could. They have to. There is hope. There is always hope. With backing vocals by Ariel Ryder of Chicago, IL, USA, Lea Keeley of Montreal, QC and Anaïs Ysabel of Waterloo, ON. Folk-Americana artist String Bone, has been stepping into the fray beyond the edges of his genre envelope as of late. Whether it be exploring Drum & Bass with collaborator Nathan McKay on 2020’s ‘Two Stars Collide’s’ series of mixes, or getting stomping dark and electric in his more recent collaboration with Las Vegas Producer, George Leger III on the mercurial ‘Waitin’ For My Dyin’ Day’, he has kept the reins still somewhat close to that Folk-Americana bucket. Until now. Wow! Oh Yeah! is a mash-up of grunge, funk, Americana, Folk, rock, disco, spoken word, R&B/soul and gospel coherently woven together by Payne & Leger to create a bombastic, uptempo, fun, sarcastic, yet reflective anthem for the ages. If it doesn’t make you chuckle, it’ll make you cry. Or at least think about the planet's future.
