Corey TuT's "Everything" now on itunes and CDBaby.com!!!!
From the opening blast of high-voltage guitar on “Someone Else’s Problem” — the lead-off track on Corey Tut’s solo debut album Everything — the New York City-based singer, guitarist, and songwriter announces himself as a serious triple threat. Brimming with pop melodies, driving modern rock guitar hooks, and punk energy, Everything has, well, everything from powerful, chugging rockers (“Right Where You Belong,” “Keeping Up With the Jones”) to buoyant pop/punk (“So What”) to brooding power ballads (“Everything,” “Way Back Home”) to melancholic acoustic-driven numbers (“Wayside,” “Not Leaving”). From start to finish, the album is a showcase for Tut’s range and versatility as a singer, songwriter not to mention his caramel baritone and million-downstrokes-a-minute guitar work.

From the opening blast of high-voltage guitar on “Someone Else’s Problem” — the lead-off track on Corey Tut’s solo debut album Everything — the New York City-based singer, guitarist, and songwriter announces himself as a serious triple threat. Brimming with pop melodies, driving modern rock guitar hooks, and punk energy, Everything has, well, everything from powerful, chugging rockers (“Right Where You Belong,” “Keeping Up With the Jones”) to buoyant pop/punk (“So What”) to brooding power ballads (“Everything,” “Way Back Home”) to melancholic acoustic-driven numbers (“Wayside,” “Not Leaving”). From start to finish, the album is a showcase for Tut’s range and versatility as a singer, songwriter not to mention his caramel baritone and million-downstrokes-a-minute guitar work.
Born in Champaign, Illinois, Tut developed a craving for music growing up as a military brat in Fort Hood, Texas, and Rockford, Illinois. He started writing songs on his grandmother’s piano, which he taught himself to play. “Then 10 years ago I picked up a guitar and that totally changed everything.” Needing to broaden his horizons, TuT moved to New York City, kicking around the city’s rock and punk clubs like CBGB, Squeezebox!, and Coney Island High, soaking in the music and performing his own stuff. “Then a few years ago, I went through a major upheaval. I had to shed a lot of darkness and start from scratch. That’s what Everything is about. I just felt like I needed to get rid of the negative stuff that was around me. Writing the songs on the album was a very cathartic process.”
Indeed, lyrically, Everything comes across, in large part, as a giant kiss-off to ex friends, lovers, and business associates. The lyrics are volatile, agitated, with an impassioned vocal delivery to match. To help him achieve his sonic vision for the album, Tut turned to the Brooklyn producers Super Buddha, who’ve worked with Deborah Harry, Rufus Wainwright, and the Scissor Sisters. “They just immediately got it. I wanted to make a big rock record that I could take on the road with songs that would allow me to put on a really dynamic show,” Tut says. “I love being on stage and throwing out different energies and really taking the crowd on a journey. One of these days I’m going to do my sensitive singer-songwriter, mellow acoustic record,” he says with a laugh, “but this is not the time.”
