Synopsis

Album Description
The Possibility of Being is the first solo release by former singer of candlebox; Kevin Martin, and the debut release of Tympanic Records. The sound of Kevin Martin and the Hiwatts is rock and roll. There is inspiration drawn from classic rock some blues, jazz and a bit of punk. The record is not trying to reinvent anything rather build off of a rooted past. The Possibility of Being has a few songs that push rock and roll and a few that sit right in it's pocket. The record is very melody driven.

CD Reviews

The true spirit of rock'n'roll
Pompompom | London, England | 10/22/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Do yourself a favour, get this album, listen through it a few times and you won't be able to get its haunting melodies out of your head. This is a far more subtle record than a hasty listening could lead you to believe. It's full of fantastic harmonies, breaks, shifts, it's powerful and delicate at the same time, the sound is gorgeous. Martin's voice has an amazing range and, although sounding kind of familiar, doesn't really sound like anybody else's. I also saw them live and this was something to behold. Can't wait for their second record. Haven't loved a record that much in a long time..."
Rock is back in town...

"With the Hiwatts! Make no mistake, if you've longed to recapture what it felt like to buy something you played and got lost in from start to finish, this is the CD for you. Kevin Martin's voice remains distinctive and emotive, brimming with passion, as it did when he was the lead singer in Candlebox, and then some! He howls, he seduces, he mourns, he tells a story-he rocks. The music's tight, provocative, and intricate. From the playing to the production or the lyrics, nothing disappoints. From full-on rock cuts that blow your speakers out ("Telepathic Rock n Roll" or "Identify") to the cynical nod to today's music-by-way-of-marketing strategy ("Amedia") to a blues groove ("She") or the soul-searching stories in "I" and "If We Could," this is what it's always been about. Feel it, believe it. This one isn't leaving my player for awhile. Welcome back Mr. Martin...been a long time, been a long lonely time!"
This is perfect...

"In an industry that continues to churn out more "cookie-cutter" music every day, Kevin Martin is a complete breath of fresh air. This album is as close to perfect as an album can get. No filler, no wasted space, no track that you have to skip every time... this is literally one of those albums that will play from beginning to end and never get old. "The Possibily of Being" is one of the most technically flawless albums you'll ever hear, but that's not even the best part. What is so amazing is that unlike everything else out today - all the songs don't sound alike. Kevin Martin has crafted 11 distinctly different songs, each one as captivating as the last. From blues to grinding rock, this is the absolute perfect record. Well done!"
