The N Result blend rock and hip-hop for a truly unique musical experience. Bringing to mind the Black Eyed Peas with their alternating singing and rapping style and catchy hooks, the six-piece band crosses multiple genres. Having opened for Ryan Leslie, Motion City Soundtrack and Pharrell Williams of N.E.R.D. and currently receiving quite a buzz by music fans and record executives alike, The N Result are well on their way.
Their soulful, danceable tracks demonstrate their versatility and it’s hardly a surprise to learn that lead guitarist Dan Bascom studies jazz while drummer Nate Sankary is a prolific classical musician. Not to mention, MC Chase Innis’ catchy rhymes have led him to share the stage with Grammy Award-winning hip-hop artist Speech of Arrested Development. And that’s only half the band.
Lead singer/guitarist Ross Lippencott has released three independent solo albums and currently studies music at Rutgers University while keyboarist Eitan Levine combines jazz and funk for a truly fun experience and bassist Bobby Tarantino doubles on acoustic upright bass at venues like the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and WBGO 88.3 FM in Newark, N.J. A band of All Stars isn’t too far from the truth.
The band’s debut album, Lines is a solid release of 12 high-energy songs. Starting off with upbeat track “On My Shoulders,” the listener quickly realizes the depth to The N Result. Singer Lippencott and MC Innis trade lines back and forth throughout the album at an enjoyable pace while each song mixes catchy beats alongside their vocals. Slower tracks like “Complicated” showcase the band’s continuing versatility while “So Unsure” has seductive Latin roots accompanied by light percussion, guitars and keyboard. Title track, “Lines” is undeniably catchy and will no doubt have the listener tapping along.
The N Result recently won a Taylor Guitars and Elixir Strings contest where they were awarded recording time at a marquee studio.
