“Fight the Good Fight serves as a bit of bittersweet motivation in trying times. Through much of the song Presti inventories the challenges that many face in our modern world. However, he and backing vocalist Leah Van Dyke turn it around in the chorus as they advise us to fight the good fight and avoid letting others bring us, “right down that drain.”
“Walk the Line is a beautiful straightforward country single that we thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. It gave us soothing and calming feelings that really hit the spot during unprecedented times. The lyrics are heavy, yet heartfelt, and the emotion conveyed throughout the near 4 minute track were borderline spiritual for us”
“Existentialism is dripping with personal touches and pulls from several veins of music...the lyrics across the album are truly excellent.”
Biography
Singer/Songwriter, Anthony Presti, grew up in Seattle in the 90’s during a thriving grunge movement, obsessing over bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam while being exposed to bands like the Grateful Dead and Jethro Tull by his uncles, who taught him the significance of music. He ended up moving to Sonoma County as a teenager, where punk dominated the mainstream. After playing in a hardcore band for a number of years, Presti discovered an affinity for acoustic guitar and folk songwriting and eventually settled in San Francisco where he formed his backing band, The Tusslers.
Presti's style encompasses folk nuances mixed with the inspirations of his rock upbringing. He’s released two full length albums, including his second record in 2017, Existentialism, recorded at John Vanderslice’s Tiny Telephone Studios and is currently working on his latest release due out this year, Different Places, at Hyde Street Studios.
