Tuff Jeff Salen tangles with "Love & Trouble" Tuff Jeff Salen returns with a new album that redefines New York City Rock ‘n’ Roll. Backed by his band, The Silencers, Tuff Jeff delivers a disc that covers a wide gamut of styles all poured through the strainer that is NYC. Whether singing or playing, guitar-slinger or balladeer; Tuff Jeff lets everyone in on the action. Tuff Darts fans will get a charge out the re-make of “(Your Love Is Like A) Nuclear Waste,” a punk-rock classic that finally realizes it’s debt to Phil Spector. With fellow Darts Jim Morrison and John DeSalvo in tow, Tuff Jeff leads them through untapped material once destined for a Darts album; “You Stepped In It Now’” and “Can’t Give It Away.” Silencers Chuck Hancock and Johnny Black pitch in on vocals, sax and guitar; but it is Tuff Jeff that carries the day on potential hits as “A Boy Chases A Girl,” “Love & Trouble” and “Goodbye, Goodbye.” Produced by songwriter/guitarist Diamond Dupree, Tuff Jeff and his band The Silencers have pulled together to create an album of wit, balls and emotion. Just like a Rock ‘n’ Roll record should. Break out that air guitar and dance!
