Harvey Gold, born in Akron, Ohio, USA, is an American guitarist, bassist, and keyboardist, a founder of the avant-rock/new wave band Tin Huey. Describing the musical output of the eclectic Harvey Gold, a founding father of Tin Huey and Half Cleveland, Gold has offered, “We are what we eat and we’ve eaten a lot of different stuff.”

Careening from power pop, to electronic, to “West Akron Appalachian,” this solo album includes an emotional protest/love song in “The Fence,” a sizzling rocker with horns, “In Consideration of Joe Strummer,” a dark take on The Beatles’ “I’ve Just Seen a Face,” AND a nod to Vivian Stanshall with a Music Hall style tune about a hard-boiled egg, “Song For Joanne.” It’s even been suggested that the track, “March of the Elephants,” might be Gold’s instrumental sequel to his Huey’s opus, “Chinese Circus.”

So, he’d like to think he says it all in the title, “It’s Messy Vol. 1.”
