Album: Men Who Listen


Artist's Biography

Men Who Listen is a male vocal, guitar-driven rock sound with overtones of punk, prog and pop. Working with producers Gary Loizzo (Styx), Rick Barnes (Rax Trax) and Stuart Epps (Elton John), they have released two CDs and four singles and have received airplay on over 140 terrestrial and Internet radio stations around the world.

About the Album

MEN WHO LISTEN was formed in 2008 by Dan Pokorni on the heels of his solo release, “Guitarscapes.” Teaming up with top Chicago-area musicians, drummer Patrick Doody (Koko Taylor, Elvin Bishop) and Bill Harrison (Clark Terry, James Moody) the band started making demos. Later, Gary Loizzo (Styx’s producer) came on board behind the console and the MEN WHO LISTEN sound began to take shape -- a sound in which the song comes first. Fusing elements of British invasion, 60s pop and 70s hard rock, the self-titled MEN WHO LISTEN was released in June of 2009 and immediately started getting air-play on a number of college and Internet radio stations.

About the Album

MEN WHO LISTEN 2 featured a new singer Jeff Anthony and bassist John Falstrom. Recording began with “Cast Our Love Away.” This was followed by the rock ballad “Change in the Blink of an Eye” (featuring Emmy-award winner Greg Potter on drums.) Fueled by Jeff’s vocals, the band sound began to evolve to a more modern, but still melodic hard rock style that was evident in the angry, up-tempo “Bad Days” and continued in the keyboard-drenched “As Far As We Can Go” which was recorded in October of 2011. The 4-song rock EP, MEN WHO LISTEN 2 was released two months later on December 1st, 2011
