The melodic guitars and easy to remember melodies are what make his music a must have for those who miss the kind of alternative music made in the 90s. He’s also got amazing pipes as he croons on the sensual Wasted. The track begins softly before exploding into the visceral force of the chorus.
I admire his approach to rock music. There is a friendly vibe that runs all over his album. My favorite tracks are Day Dreams, Time Goes Forward, Wasted and Hey Hey. It is hard to describe his music using prose alone so you got to experience it to KNOW.
One of the reasons why I lost the desire to listen to the radio is the lack of real music. Everything sounds manufactured. And to have artists like Aron Lyrd creating music like that makes me glad we have the internet. So enjoy the amazing self-titled album from this Shippensburg, PA native and spread the word!

How did you get started in the music scene?
I started writing poetry and eventually it led to music.
Who are your music influences?
Aerosmith, AC/DC, KISS.
What method at the time of writing a song?
Essentially, the main writing remaining to do is the instrumental portion of the song. I just put something together that best suits the original poem, before it was a song. Good Times,Great Times. How was the recording and writing process? How you came out with the album’s title? Any release date yet in mind? January 3, 2013.
How was it to work with Keith Clizark?
He is suprisingly down to earth and easy to talk to.
What has been one of the funniest moments you have been or took part while touring?
Mainly, the time that the tour bus driver forgot to put the parking break on and the tour bus down the hill into a ditch. It would not have been funny, if I hadn’t owned the bus. My car insurance paid for the damages.
Any news that we should be aware of?
My agent is looking to get me signed with the major label Universal sometime this year.
Where may we find more about your music?
http://www.humanfankind.com/2013/01/02/rising-artist-of-the-day-aron-lyrd/
Do you feel you’re moving on the right direction?
Yes, my agent is one of the best in the business. The solid amount of radio play that I am currently getting, coupled with the PR that they are seeking to get me soon, should be more than enough to get me signed with Universal.

Lucid Dreams by Aron Lyrd

Many may say maybe three or four, while those who are more aware of the music scene today could say that a duo is enough. But the fact is that even one single great musician can create what one group of six people are hardly able to do. However, few are those who can go beyond creating great music to creating something truly special. This is the case of Aron Lyrd.
In his latest release, Lucid Dreams, this great composer and guitarist from Philly brings a style that reminds us of different bands from Matchbox 20, Oasis, and David Bowie to the legendary Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath. Some of this can be seen in the first song, “Gasoline,” where guitar riffs mix with powerful bass lines and drum beats. Subtly aggressive and original Lyrd vocals are responsible for giving us a reason to shake our head, go crazy, dance, and turn on the engines.
“Becoming Extinct” is a catchy sound, and it has a While The Killers meets Smashing Pumpkins vibe with a little mess in between, like a cat fight. On the other hand, “Beginning” has that Chilli Peppers style (think “Under the Bridge”) with rather bleak voices.
“Come Again” is funky, fun, and entertaining, like a cross between Red Hot and Lenny Kravitz. It gets us up and down. The bass is definitely the star of this track. “Everybody Loves An Event” is going for a more Bon Jovi sound, and as far as production is concerned, it is quite different from the others.
“Grassy Banks” brings different elements. Tribal drum beats with an acoustic guitar give a Latin touch to the song.
“Hey, Hey” is quite eighties. As a soundtrack to movies like The Breakfast Club or any of John Hughes’s teen films. Entertaining, easy to listen tp, again it has those guitar chords and drum beats with faint melodious vocals by Lyrd; everything fits perfectly.
“Made In A Minute” contains new instruments such as a synthesizer that reminds us a little of Tears For Fears and Duran Duran. The rhythm guitars and riffs are excellent. The drums again make an appereance, guiding our feet to the beat of the song and along with the bass lines, all are present at this event. It’s epic and amazing. You can see some influence even of Oasis and MUSE.
“Shadows On Me” is like Third Eye Blind and Bruce Springsteen had a baby. It’s really catchy, and once again there are the acoustic chords and pretty much the same things we have been hearing in the other tracks.
In conclusion, each song has its special touch. One may be better than another one, but in the end, they all sound excellent and are worth listening to. Returning to the roots of this wonderful genre, Aron Lyrd ends up delighting us with something we can call rock.

Aaron Lyrd is a man who overcame enormous adversity and has become a one man band writing and recording everything from guitar to percussion to vocals. He has a huge fan base on myspace and he is catching attention of promoters.
After contracting transverse myelitis in 2004, which causes swelling in the spine, and suffering a stroke from a blood clot, Aaron was paralyzed. Through determination and arduous work, he regained the use of his arm, and started writing poetry, which eventually led to music. In 2010 and Lyrd has quickly become a dramatic force in the alternative rock scene.
Who were your early music inspirations?
David Bowie, Matchbox 20, and, in part, The Beatles.
How would you classify your music?
Alternative, with some soft rock and punk mixed in.
Aaron Lyrd “Just Wasting Time” MP3:
SKOPE IT HERE!
You went thru so much with contracting transverse myelitis and the subsequent stroke, you are truly an inspiration. Tell me how it changed your life and influenced your music.
Going through having transverse myelitis and having a stroke made me rethink my life and realize the my minimal aspirations to work in a mail room for the P.A. state government needed to be improved as well as that I needed a true sense of direction in my life.
Tell me about your cds and new projects you have?
I’m currently working on three different albums, which were at different stages of completion when the two separate record labels that signed me got involved. First there’s two albums through Team Mash’N, a branch of Universal. They are titled Just Wasting Time and I Did It My Way. The second one is named after my single that is by far my best selling track right now. The third album is a self titled album, with 13 tracks that is being released a little later this year by Tate Music Group. I also have 9 Japanese animation or anime music videos that have been made entirely by the promotion company, Breaker Entertainment: http://www.myspace.com/breakerentertainment . Finally I have a poetry book that is coming out in October of 2012. It features all of my poems that were never made into songs.
What would you like people to get from your music?
I want them to go away feeling thoroughly entertained. In general, as long as they don’t try to use it as an excuse for violence, such as Helter Skelter or what Limp Bizkit’s song titled Break Stuff was at Woodstock ’99, I’m happy with people simply feeling entertained by my music. On a side note, I’m slowly becoming a big Beatles fan through regularly listening to their mp3's whenever I go on long family road trips. In that regard, I mean them no disrespect to them and my song titled, Orange Ambition, had a very positive and strong Beatles influence.
What would you like to be doing 5 years from now?
I’m hoping for my two full length albums that are being released through Team Mash’N/Universal later this year to both go platinum once each. Otherwise, I would like to see myself still being happy and healthy by then.

SONG INFORMATION
Orange Ambition or What's The Color of Tangerine?
written by: Aron Lyrd
genre: rock
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania singer/songwriter Aron Lyrd fifth album, Lucid Dreams, strongly influenced by 1970's pop that is without focus. Lyrd achieves some nice moments, such as the opening track "All The Time, It Is Mine", sounding like 1970's AM radio rock with a light R&B touch. "Just Wasting Time" is a solid track; mildly catchy with solid energy. This anti-love song advises a friend to kick her current boyfriend to the curb. Lyrd channels The Kinks on "The Sun Is Out", a relationship reminiscence that looks back over years. Lyrd's voice is very pleasant here. Lyrd veers into club noise with "Get Up, Come On"; seven-and-a-half minutes of beats and noise that's more like a musical run-on sentence than a song. "Asking For Just Too Much" is a vibrant bit of dance rock that finds Lyrd sounding a bit like Escape Club. We get to hear Lyrd's falsetto voice on "Tough Day, Alright Night", a non-committal bit of dance pop. One gets the impression that Lyrd is going for a Bee Gees vibe. Much the same can be said about "Enter Leave Don't Take My Heart". Lyrd seems to have his eyes on the big time with a MySpace page that claims over fifteen million spins. Consequently there is no doubt about Lyrd's creativity. Learn more about Aron Lyrd at [http://www.myspace.com/aronlyrdmusic] or [http://www.myspace.com/aaronblaird]. You can purchase Lucid Dreams digitally from Amazon.com. Please note that CDBaby has it under the title Hits with a slightly different track listing.

New Music Spotlight Aron Lyrd
[+ Show ]
Our recent interview comes from the sensational indie singer/guitarist Aron Lyrd who recently spoke ...Our recent interview comes from the sensational indie singer/guitarist Aron Lyrd who recently spoke to our Webzine about his music and what is his driven passion to want to entertain others. In this revealing spotlight, Lyrd speaks about his musical influences, his highpoints & lowpoints in his career so far, and his amazing story of turning a tragic event into something meaningful. Here is what developed.
Isaac: Let’s get started with this interview. When and how did you first become interested in music?
Aron: When I first became paralyzed 6 years ago, I started writing poetry. That led to my putting music to it.
How long have you been playing music?
Aron: I've been playing music for six years, so far.
Isaac: Who would you say are your biggest musical influences and why?
Aron: Some of my biggest influences are Aerosmith and AC/DC. Aerosmith were able to get over their addictions to street drugs and prolong their careers. AC/DC was able to keep the rest of their band together for decades, even after their original lead singer, Bon Scott, died of alcohol poisoning. Both bands were able to triumph over adversity, which serves to inspire me.
Isaac: What has been the greatest highpoint in your career so far?
Aron: I would have to say looking at my MySpace Music Page, http://www.myspace.com/aronlyrdmusic and seeing that it hit the 12,000,000 plays mark just last month, after my new page having been made only this past November 1, 2009 to replace my old one that I deleted to make way for this new upgraded one. I had kinnerdesign.co.uk make this new one to give it a more professional looking feel. This statistic really tells me that music fans out there are listening to my songs.
Isaac: This is amazing.
Isaac: What has been the greatest disappointment in your career so far?
Aron: I would have to say going this long and not getting signed to any type of major record label. They do say that the entertainment industry is one of great uncertainty. It feels like the millions of plays come both as the highpoint and a disappointment. What is disappointing about them is that they've proven inadequate for me to be offered a record contract with a major label. Ultimately, any musician should play their music primarily, due to that the enjoy doing it. I just can't get past that I could be 95 someday and occasionally ponder what kind of music career that I could have had, if only I were signed... Well, that's not to say that I never will be. It is just that when a person becomes very old someday, they can't help but wonder about what could have been. I only hope that is not me someday, so that I am still left with few, if any regrets.
What did you learn from that experience?
Aron: Basically, what I just touched on. Something like playing music is best to be done based on that the person doing it finds contentment in it.
Isaac: What draws you to want to play the type of music that you do?
Aron: I would have to say that my lyrics come from past experiences. Alternative Rock is at sort of a mid ground between your bubble gum pop singers and hoarse shouting hard core heavy metal. It serves to help me feel a sense of balance too.
Isaac: What do you feel it takes to play this type of music that you play?
Aron: To me, you really have to have a story behind you. Anybody can start writing music about anything, albeit it is that spark of inspiration that drives somebody to put their heart and soul into their work. That's what led me to put ten of my poems to music, which, as the end result, became my first album. http://bit.ly/d7HFq1
Isaac: What do you think you will create that will make your performances and who you are stand out in the music industry?
Aron: I hope that I can rise above all of the commercialism out there and just really define myself as a musician, a poet, and as a person to the whole music scene. Basically, as they say, all publicity is good publicity for publicity's sake. When Alice Cooper killed a chicken on stage, that's basically how he got discovered. I want to do it a different way.
Isaac: If you had the opportunity to do one cover, what cover would you do and why?
Aron: I would do Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith. For one thing, they're my favorite band and I've gotten to see them play live twice. Secondly, it would be meant as a tribute to them for all of their achievements in music.
How would you put your own spin on this cover?
Aron: I would apply some more mid tempo tenor sound to the song to slow it down a bit and make certain parts of it a little faster as well. Also, I would use a synthesizer for the opening part of the song to capture an almost robotic sounding voice during the opening of it that would be unique to my cover of the song. You know, when Steven Tyler first says "Sweet Emotion" in a more drawn out way at the beginning of the song. That's where I mean.
Isaac: What does it take to be a good songwriter?
Aron: Basically, it is the trends in popular culture at any given time that decides what is good or not. Although, it boils down to writing about things that inspire you; things that you really feel passionate about…you can still be proficient at writing, whether or not you're conforming to the ideals of society.
Isaac: How difficult is it to juggle music, family and work obligation, and life in general? Explain.
Aron: You really just have to put things into their priorities. As long as you keep time for what matters most to you, it doesn't have to feel like you're excluding someone or something from your life that are important to you.
Isaac: What is your definition of being an Indie artist/band?
Aron: Basically, it means someone who makes music as hobby. Although, the potential remains that they could make it their career, given the right opportunity.
Isaac: Where can fans access your music online? They may be found at iTunes. Right here:
Aron:
http://bit.ly/cSUhY6
or
click here: iTunes Page
Isaac: In five years…….
Aron: I would like to get signed by a major label by then. My back up plan is that I hope to have my bachelor's degree and master's degree by then as well as be working towards my Ph.D. to become an Associate Professor. Who knows, maybe I could do both, as long as I pace myself?
