TMRZOO ON POSITIVE NEGATIVE MAN
new TMR Zoo Review by Ed Wrobleski,
Host of Talking Hendrix
"I give this CD a 5 out of 5 star rating and i’m sure we’ll have plenty of more fantastic writing and music to come in the future from Positive Negative Man."
Thanks from TMRZoo to guest contributor Ed Wrobleski for this review
The Broken album by native Boston area power trio – as this reviewer will call them – is a grunge masterpiece and, hopefully, a shape of what’s to come from these three guys known as Positive Negative Man. The alternative rock combo consists of Peter Tomilloso-Bass, vox Mike Feeney-Guitar, vox, and Ian Wilson-Drums, and they pack a powerful punch. Let’s look at the Broken compact disc track by track.
1. Gasoline 3:46
The one thing I can say about this track is that its hard rockin’, driving beat will keep it on “repeat” in your player. Vocalist Mike Feeney has an edge to his voice that I can’t imagine anyone coming close to imitating, it certainly is a unique voicing, and musically on this one it comes across as what I will call “Grunge Metal” part grunge rock and part heavy metal
.
2 Keep It Together 3:09
I can visualize this being re-recorded by some of the garage rock bands of the sixties such as the Nashville Teens (famous for their classic rendition of “Tobacco Road”,) in fact, you can hear the beat of that great classic throughout the piece. Peter Tomilliso voice is perfect for what I would hope to be the next single from the album.

NEW METRONOME MAGAZINE REVIEW
Post
apocalyptic noise is what the trio of singer-bassist Pete Tomilloso,
singer-guitarist Mike Feeney and drummer Mr. Zoom offer on their new
10-song CD. Broken.
Full contact power chords enhanced by flangers, fuzz boxes and
the like, fused to bombastic drumming, roaring bass lines and
tempestuous vocals deliver quirky musical messages at unethical volumes.
The best tracks: the anthemic “Keep It Together,”
the punk angst of The Waste,” the hypnotic clammer of “With No Machine,” and the face punch of “Just Don’t Think.”

Review: Broken by The Positive Negative Man
on December 17, 2015
The television show – The Avengers – on January 17, 1968 – Season 6, Episode 6 aired a 51 minute show titled The Positive Negative Man. Forty-seven years later the band Positive Negative Man unleashes the ten song disc, Broken. Drummer Ian Wilson (a.k.a. “Mr. Zoom”) pounds away with wild abandon on this ambitious project which features very dark tones (just in time for Star Wars: The Force Awakens,).
The disk opens with the eerie “Gasoline,” the point where arson meets the heat of global warming. “Keep It Together” is a marching pop song, The Clash meets the Dave Clark Five for three minutes and nine seconds. “The Waste” hits you with short guitar bursts while “With No Machine” dips into German grunge with a Buzzcocks edge.
There’s a five minute and forty second video of Ice Queens of Space live from the Beachcomber (5:23 on the CD’s studio track) where guitarist/vocalist Mike Feeney conjures up memories of the film Queen of Outer Space where “cruel queen” Yllana played by Laurie Mitchell, is destined to be forever overshadowed by Zsa Zsa Gabor’s beauteous character Talleah.
Track 6, “Kings,” brings more Buzzcock-styled sounds into the mix. Balling the jack is a US slang term meaning to go fast or make haste, on track 7 it is now also the title of a three minute and five second song by Positive Negative Man. As with opening track, “Gasoline,” this also has that menacing Johnny Rotten vocal style and lyrical bent.
While singer Scott Damgaard is Leaving Hyannis…on his new cd, this contemporaneous release gives a folksy/percussive “Newport Beach” excursion which, though having everything else stylistically different from former Wayoutz Damgaard’s pure pop, “Newport Beach” would actually fit quite nicely on Leaving Hyannis…
If the classic film “Twister” ever had a sequel, this same-titled 4:06 timed track, #9, would fit perfectly. Jethro Tull gone total punk. Boston band Unnatural Axe also took at least one movie title and rode it to underground fame, they’d be a compatible match with Positive/Negative Man from what can be heard on the musical explorations made on this CD. “Just Don’t Think” ends the ten song buffet with a Real Kids feel, Boston rock and roll that makes its rounds on the circuit.
1.Gasoline 3:46
2)Keep It Together 3:09
3)The Waste 2:27
4)With No Machine 3:04
5)The Ice Queen of Space 5:32
6)Kings 4:04
7)Balling the Jack 3:05
8)Newport Beach 3:29
9)Twister 4:06
10)Just Don’t Think 3:19
