Bio:
The Rods are an American heavy metal band formed by David "Rock" Feinstein (guitar and vocals), Garry Bordonaro (bass and vocals) and Carl Canedy (drums and vocals).Feinstein had first come to mainstream attention after playing in Ronnie Dio And The Prophets, The Electric Elves, Elves and Elf, with his cousin Ronnie James Dio. The Rods sound differed considerably from Elf, adopting a more traditional heavy metal sound compared with the blues-rock sound that Elf preferred.Their first album was originally released independently as Rock Hard in 1980 and the following year the band was signed by Arista Records, who rerecorded the album tracks and released it simply titled The Rods. Their second album Wild Dogs followed in 1982 and was re-released in 2004.The Rods' third album, released 1983, was entitled In the Raw In 1984 Canedy and Bordonaro played on Jack Starr's album Out of the Darkness with Rhett Forrester of Riot and Gary Driscoll of Rainbow. Then in 1984 The Rods made their fourth studio album Let Them Eat Metal and recorded the album The Rods Live. Their album Heavier Than Thou was originally released in 1986. An album was also released that features all of the band's members, entitled Hollywood - Canedy, Feinstein, Bordonaro, & Caudle.Canedy is also a producer of heavy metal bands, and his credits include Anthrax's Armed and Dangerous and Spreading the Disease, Exciter's Violence & Force, Overkill's Feel the Fire, and Possessed's Beyond the Gates
Album:
The Rods are back with the release of their new album, “The Brotherhood of Metal,” on June 7 2019, via Steamhammer/SPV. Their 1st since 2011’s “Vengeance.”The Rods consist of David “Rock” Feinstein on guitars and lead vocals, Carl Canedy on Drums and Garry Bordonaro on bass. All 3 musicians are top flight players, having played together as a unit since the early 80’s. David as you may already know is the cousin of the great Ronnie James Dio, and they played together in the band Elf. So on to The Brotherhood of Metal album. It’s a top notch, classic straight ahead Metal album, typical of The Rods’ style of composing and arranging songs. Some of the lyrics touch on subjects such as the relationship metal people have with metal music - and each other, a biker themed song and even a song that speaks of the history to the present day, of the band itself. All 3 guys put in excellent performances, and it results with the individual songs fitting together very well to make a complete album, it’s consistently very good. There are no ballads, it’s an album with primarily mid to up-tempo tracks. (There are 2 songs on the album that were on one of Feinstein’s solo albums, Bitten by the Beast, “Smoke on the Horizon” and “Evil in Me.” Both are good songs that are pretty similar to their original release.There’s a presence of an organ/keyboards on multiple songs on this album, but not over done, nor does it take away from this being a quality metal album. It’s very much on par with the aforementioned “Vengeance,” and quite possibly even better! This is a very good album that sounds better with each listen."Brotherhood Of Metal" will be released as a CD digipak, 2LP gatefold (incl bonus track "Crank It Up (35 Years)"), as a digital download and via stream music services.
