Eddie Cohn, the cognomen for the talented solo artist nestled in the most populous city in the U.S. state of California and the second-most populous city in the United States, launches a bold revival of rock and rock pop nostalgia with his latest track “Stop Waving The Gun” on November 8, 2024. In the bustling landscape of the Los Angeles music scene, where every note competes for attention, Eddie Cohn shines as a beacon of artistry and authenticity, and his journey thus far has been one of exploration and expression, inviting listeners into their world with each verse and beat.
The central idea of Eddie Cohn’s “Stop Waving The Gun” delves into the pervasive gun culture in America. The pervasive gun culture in America has become a deeply embedded issue, touching nearly every corner of society. With firearms often seen as symbols of freedom, protection, and individual rights, the country finds itself in a complex relationship with gun ownership that affects public safety, politics, and community life. Unfortunately, this culture is also intertwined with high rates of gun violence, which impacts countless families and communities every year. Despite ongoing debates over legislation, mental health, and individual liberties, America continues to struggle to find a balance between the right to bear arms and the urgent need to reduce the tragic consequences of gun misuse. Addressing this issue requires a thoughtful approach that considers cultural values, community safety, and the well-being of future generations.
Eddie Cohn’s latest track, “Stop Waving The Gun,” is willing to undertake the discovery of sound, fusing genres with an almost painterly approach. Eddie, the mastermind behind the production of the track, brings into existence a special musical narrative that lures the listener in familiar and unfamiliar ways. Brett Farkas on electric guitars, bass guitars by Sean Hurley, Drum and percussion by Jake Reed, strings by Philip Peterson, mixed and mastered by Kevin Penner, and Eddie Cohn on vocals, help create a dynamic unit that combines skill with creativity, layering country, jazz, and syncopated rhythms into something more than just a typical song.
Eddie was heavily influenced by the grunge era, which included Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains and was a big fan of the vocal stylings of Eddie Vedder, Layne Staley and Chris Cornell. If you haven’t heard Eddie Cohn’s music before, or even the original mix of “Animals,” you need to go out of your way to check out this remix as soon as possible. There’s a majestic quality to this performance that speaks to the potential Cohn is still unlocking within his artistry and the aesthetics comprising it, and although he’s very much an underground figure, the presence he has in this release is more akin to that of a mainstream giant than it is a player more accustom to the shadows of the independent circuit.
