The Tardy Brothers Release Debut Album
John and Donald Tardy of Obituary have a new project called TARDY BROTHERS. The band’s debut album, Bloodline, features guitar work by Ralph Santolla (Obituary/Death/Deicide) and original Xecutioner guitarist Jerry Tidwell and solo work from 19-year-old John Lee and long time friend Scott Johnson.
Said John Tardy of the project: “This is something Donald and I have talked about and planned for many years and we just never had the time to do it. With the addition of our new studio, it has finally given us the abilitity to get this music recorded. It is not going to affect anything that Obituary is doing nor is it supposed to sound like Obituary.”
Bloodline is the first of several planned releases for the duo. Inviting some of their many musician friends, the pair hope to explore ranges outside the norm of their regular recording commitments and avenues (fact: Donald stepping out from behind the kit to tackle many of the rhythm guitar duties on Bloodline). Tardy Brothers are planning some live performances while continuing work on the new Obituary album planned for release later this year.
