ConFused5 is a perfect example of the twenty year cycle in Pop music. First formed in 1981, the band, then known as Frust, reunited in 2003 as Confused5 to record their debut album "Out Of Confusion" as the 16th band to raise $50,000 on the internet label Sellaband.com. Ever true to their vintage roots, the guitar-driven Austrian rock quintet turns back the hands of time on “Because Of You” and the anthemic “Puppet Of The World”. Keyboardist Herbert Hopfgartner and Bassist Kurt Breidler deliver classic vocal performances while guitarists Markus Melms and Alexander Kranabetter prove that nothing compares to the real thing. Their harmonic guitars in “Out Of Confusion” and “Deep Under” are searing and full of attitude. Kranabetter’s crunchy Les Paul rhythm tracks and Melms’ singing solos are driven to full throttle by exciting veteran drummer, Beda Bachmayer. Produced by Pete Strobl, Out Of Confusion was recorded at Sonic Flow Studio in Salzburg, mixed by Ron Hitchcock and Strobl in Los Angeles and mastered at Bernie Becker Mastering. From the deep and nasty groove of the title cut, and the funky “Why Me”, to the jazzy blues of “New Orleans Minor”, ConFused5’s "Out Of Confusion" is catchy yet musically complex, mature but full of youthful exuberance, and in the best rock tradition, best when enjoyed at a healthy volume. The CD is now available at Amazon.at, Amazon.de, Amazon.co.uk, in almost avery download store (iTunes, Amiestreet) and in Austria and Germany to order in every CD shop.
The combination of rock an blues is one with a lot of competence, but you hear it less and less around... that's too bad, because you guys rock!
Vincent B:
I'm driving in the dark, through a snowstorm over a small curved mountain road. Then some lights in the distance, and getting closer, I hear some music as well. A roadside bar! Great food, a fire warming my skin and five confused people warming the heart. I think I'll stay!
Li:
New Orleans minor is Major! What a sticky song, how am I going to get some sleep when the melody's still waving its path through newly discovered neural brain paths ;-).
Walter M.:
What a beautiful adaptation! This reminds me of Tom Parkers "Young Schubert"-project and I think you do a good job translating this "old" music to the 21st century. A good song to start my weekend with. Thank you I'm really touched by the song.
Peatnik:
Out of Confusion" is a trip! How do you guys capture that "west coast" psychedelic vibe? Can't wait to hear what comes out of the studio.
Nearfield:
Out of Confusion got me jealous about those guitar riffs! I want them on my songs too!
Dave Neijsen:
Great new song! I especially like the piano riffs in this one:)
Li:
Great new song! I'm transported back in time ;-).
Woodstock:
Hey C5, liked your new song dudes, really keeping you guys in mind hope to be a believer soon
Hazel:
Has a bit of a war of the worlds sound to me, an interesting style.
MaWa:
Hey guys, whats wrong here! Stop that! I DO want to go to places OUTSIDE of Austria or the part of the world speaking something remotly near to German!
F%&# Out of Confusion is the f@#%$&(£ best song you have put up so far. As said: STOP THAT!

-----►♫♫♫♫ $50,000 winners - CD now out!!! ♫♫♫♫◄----- The voices of Herbert and Kurt lead the way with Markus providing exceptional solos on the lead guitar. Kurt gives the sound a real punch on the bass guitar working really well with Michael's excellent drumming. The fifth member of the band is Alexander, who gives the whole sound real substance on the rhythm guitar. Beside singing, Herbert shows he has great talent on keyboard and other instruments. Their songs, both those played at RoA and those I have listened to on SAB and other sites are mostly really powerful examples of the Rock and Blues genres and have pushed them onwards towards that $50k target. With regular appearances at the top of the chart it will not take them long now to get there! Have I got it right? ConFused is not confused or mixed up, but 'con' = Latin cum and Fused as in, well English fused or joined, so that the meaning is 'joined together'? They were certainly joined together at Roll over Austria in Salzburg in November07 - we shall never forget the experience! They were fantastic, producing a one-of-a-kind sound. |
