Raslo Layton leaps from the cracks of modern music to prove there is still literate rock in the world.
Influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan, Adam Duritz, Leonard Cohen and Charles Bukowski, Raslo Layton is an edgy, manipulator of words, concealing his cynical observations in story-telling, and concealing his story-telling in songs.
His words are simple and immediate. He condenses the complexities of life to their essence, then wraps them with North-of-England humour and fires them at the world.
The acclaimed "Rock Poet", Raslo Layton is a poet and songwriter residing in Hong Kong, who makes regular forays to the west coast of America bringing with him stories and cynical commentaries that lay bare the foolishness around us.
His music and his words cut through the woolly frivolity of our times. He spurns the mindless excesses of the young executives and legitimises the simple life. His work is aimed at normal people; poetry, whether spoken or sung, should be an every day currency that puts value back into the very act of living.
For those of you - including Dylan - who thought that modern music had lost its way, think again; the Rock Poet has arrived.
