Metal band Truth Corroded switched to Tonerider Generator May 16th, 2008; Posted by Steve in Australia
The bands strongest recording from its most formidable line up, 'Warlords' is dark and extreme thrash that will appeal to fans of late eighties/early nineties bands such as Slayer, Testament, Sepultura and Dark Angel as to fans of bands such as Lamb Of God and Chimaira. From the neck snapping 'Crown The Apocalypse' and 'We Are Failed' to the Neurosis inspired darkness of 'Buried Alive By Demons' and 'Despair Your Black Earth', the album backs up its confronting lyrical stance with sheer devastating thrash that will slay your neck and declare total war on the sounds of the weak - Truth Corroded are ready to battle! Guitarist Corey Grieve has switched to Tonerider Generator pickups in his Ibanez RGT42.

"I'm absolutely knocked out..." by Tonerider Pure Vintage February 5th, 2008
Jim McLachlanhas been a part of the UK music scene sincethe 60s and switches between drums, vocals and lead guitar with ease. He installed a set of our Pure Vintage strat pickups in his 62Reissue strat and has the following kind words to say: "Having tried just about every Strat pickup you can get including, CS54's, 57/62's, CS69's, Abigail Ybarra SE, Bareknuckle Apache, Kinmans etc etc. I happened upon "Tonerider Vintage Strat Pickups" and I am absolutely knocked out by them. They are without doubt the best pickups I have ever heard. Stacks of clarity, bottom end nice and full but not muddy, great mids and well defined highs that are not thin. I just love them. " But even better than kind words, Jim has allowed us a sneakpreview at some Hank Marvin-inspired recording he has been doing recently and we have to agree... the guitar tones, like the playing, are soaked in the classic era of the British single coil sound - Vox Amps, Fender guitars and sweet singing top ends. Enjoy! |

"Take-it-anywhere Axe" from RebelRelic February 5th, 2008
Luke Whitfield at RebelRelic continues to amaze the Tonerider crew with his superb luthiery skills and rock n'roll aesthetic. He understands that making guitars look beat up isn't about sandpaper and scuff marks, but about getting a guitar with unsurpassed playability, a "lived-in" feel and stacks of visual mojo. It's about creating instruments that are so desirable that a new, super-shiny poly coated instrument just isn't going to cut it. Tonerider Classic Blues strat pickups feature in his latest build - Luke calls it his "Take-it-anywhere Axe". More info at rebelrelic.com
