Rough Around The Edges, steps out lyrically and sonically from the Waterdown, Ontario-based singer/songwriterâs past efforts. Thatâs a product of the fact that his vision for the record was forged primarily during the past four years on the road. Youâll still hear echoes of Bayntonâs long time influences like Tom Petty and Garth Brooks, but, he says: âLive, you inherently end up playing things differently over time. I was sitting back after a show once and realized that the band and I actually play rock, but I just happen to have a very country voice. So, going into this record I dug into what really gets me going musically, and a lot of it was 90s rock; very specifically pop/punk like Gob and Sum 41.â
