The air surrounding Armstrong Jr. is thick with electro-funk filled riffs, tight harmonies, pure emotion and attitude, all stirred by dynamic vocal arrangements and toe tapping rhythms. As a 20-something Toronto native turned Vancouverite, his works evoke a definite sense of a fast, sensual life in the city.
Merging aspects of Dance, Pop/Rock, Electro with a Funky twist, Armstrong Jr. takes his uniquely harmonic vocal arrangements with his highly electronic production style and finds a way to create -- from the digital -- a sound that could not be described as anything other than organic.
From this he molds a backdrop upon which his Sexed-Up-In-Your-Face lyrics take centre stage with themes that range from trying to cope with the not so glamorous realities of life, to the ecstasy of hitting it on the dance floor with the perfect partner. This provocative artist is not afraid to tell you how it is and with every hook and lyric, Armstrong Jr. gives a little taste of his world.
Throughout Armstrong Jr.'s evolution he has found himself grasping for a sound to call his own. Until recently he was not quite sure where to fit in. "I was trying to do pop, rock, house, anything. Just so long as I could perform my own music, I was happy."
His first true song writing experience resulted in a cryptic, down tempo song entitled "Your Story". This song was brought to the surface by the serious emotions Armstrong Jr. faced when he discovered that a person he revered as his worst enemy had passed away from a drug overdose.
Indulging in the opposite end of the spectrum "Never Ending Discotheque" plays off more upbeat, and often whimsical themes, over disco hooks and dynamic vocal arrangements. Despite the consistently dark flavour common to an Armstrong Jr. track, this is the song that typifies the sort of playful perspective from which Armstrong Jr. views his work.
Meanwhile, the sensuous title track entitled "Come Show your Face" evokes feelings of lust, like those of a cat in heat. "Even though this track is a challenge to society to forget preconceptions and stereotypes, from start to finish this song [“Come Show Your Faceâ€] is pure sex! It was the funky bass line that got me, and the rest just followed and it's catchy as hell!"
Armstrong Jr. is keeping his eyes firmly set on the future of what is proving to be a promising career as recording artist.
“I love to make music and I love to perform, so with every small accomplishment I always get something back. There’s no wonder why I keep doing this. And with rewards around every corner, I wouldn’t be surprised if I do this for the rest of my life.â€
