Darren Housholder is an excellent guitarist and a graduate of Berklee School of Music. He also was a faculty member of Berklee teaching Modern Rock Guitar. He clearly knows his jazz licks but these albums definitely rock. Housholder covers the gamut of techniques and styles. Guitar magazine called Darren a "thoroughly modern player with sass, sparks and control."

Generator Man has several good songs, but sometimes suffers from the home studio sound and the use of drum machines. A good mix of heavier songs and feel-good boogies.
