Ammo: Percussion
“Our musical purpose and reason for existing as a band has been to deliver the best of what we have to offer as dedicated musicians whom have been plying their trade for enough years to say something that matters”, says Eye Savant frontman, Steven J. Vertun. “Whether through insightful lyrical content, intelligently thru-composed song structures or our full-throttle, leave it all on the floor performances, our aim is to deliver in everything we do.”
Good words to live by and for anyone who has experienced an Eye Savant show, delivery is what this band is all about. Pinpointing their musical genre is easy. Rock. Pure and simple. Describing their musical style however, is a little more complicated than picking out a band or two and suggesting that constitutes an apt description. At times presenting fuel injected, hard driving, resonating pulse oriented rhythms set against a wide and varied textural landscape of sweeping guitars and soaring vocals, the next moment presenting a song that causes you to feel your sharing a close intimate moment seated next to the band on a soft, comfortable couch...one with a slightly worn edges however.
“Steve tends to write lyrics that go pretty deep. I’ve watched him write on the fly and I don’t know where this stuff comes from. What I do know is that while it [the content] always causes you to think and reflect, it also always leaves you feeling just a bit uncomfortable…. and that’s a good thing… making people think or re-think their views or positions on things that matter ultimately impacts the world for the better.”, says Michael T. Stout, bass player for ES since its inception.
Often times they are combining both dynamic extremes within one song. On the surface our songs appear to be reasonably structured listening experiences. However, when you begin to break them down, they are in fact, progressive in nature and quite complex in structure and arrangement”.
That’s not an easy task to accomplish and only a few bands have been able to achieve these lofty goals. As a suggestive point, the band lists such varied artists as U2, Rush, Joe Satriani, Bruce Springsteen, Peter Yorn, Dave Matthews, Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, Live, Steve Vai, Jimmy Eat World, Switchfoot and a host of others as influences. And while the listening experience doesn’t specifically replicate any one these artists, at the same time it sounds like all or any of them at any given moment. Derivative, yet not. Simple but complicated. Original.
And then there are those live shows. An hour with Eye Savant is like a 60 minute linear roller coaster ride. By the time its’ over, you know you’ve been moving at close to the speed of sound, your adrenaline has been depleted and your not quite sure where you are because your landing pad is quite a long way off from your departure point. “This is the best part of the entire Eye Savant experience for me. I love playing live shows with these guys. The energy we develop on stage is incredible. Michael is a phenomenal bass player and locking with him is so easy and complete that it feels like we’re one person at times. But as hard as we work up there, we all have a great time and its really relaxed at the same time. We all love what we do and it shows.”, states Ammo, ES Drummer. True enough. The bands aggressive musical delivery and presentation often seems at odds with the consistent visible enjoyment they display during every show.
“If we can’t give our very best, at every show, regardless of size, venue, what the day has been like, whatever, we have no business being out there. People go out of their way to come see us. Time is spent or time is wasted. It’s one or the other. That’s one of the main themes I work into my songwriting and my own life. Time is the single most precious commodity we have and ES wants to make certain that our audience feels that they’ve spent time with us every time we get together.” Concludes Steve.

For CD Player
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
