Screamin' Your Name
The guitar comes in and slaps you in the face...
...it's about how we feel when we scream to the universe in absolute pain at the life we lead here on this planet...

Screamin' Your Name... "Roy Cunningham's music pleases open-minded rockers on so many levels.
His “Screamin' Your Name” kind of reminds me of Robin Trower's sound, with obvious nods to Led Zeppelin and a little snatch of the Jeff Beck Group's “Goin' Down.”
The production quality of his work is crisp on all of these tracks – listen to the opening to “Stoned Hedge,” with its acoustic-sounding piano combined with a swim of lofty guitars/synths interplaying with the piano riffs. It's an interesting listen.
“Sirens Dancing” explores his techno side, but with the musical historic reference to early pre-techno electronic bands like Kraftwerk. But Cunningham explores far beyond anything Kraftwerk ever did, like the world music feel combined with modern rock in “Where's My Dashiki.”
Curious stuff, well recorded. I'll be listening for more.
