Some folks might argue that the current world of Caveman Voicebox is perhaps a bit too fueled by hotrods, drinking, and loud guitars, but the band could really careless. Emerging from the sunny streets of Los Angeles, California, Caveman Voicebox find themselves with just the right mix of car cultural, stripper ethics and blue collar fury to bring a smile to just about anyone’s face. Largely influenced by big doses of Motorhead, ZZ Top and stoner rock, they weave together an extremely aggressive rock assault while thumbing their noses at all non-believers along the way. As a result they have gained respect from rockers young and old and are quickly becoming the sound track for every gear head, pole dancer and ...
Considering the terrestrial airplay and internet radio success Engloria snagged with their 2010 debut EP Sundown, nobody could have blamed the Albany, NY based powerhouse alt rockers for coasting a little on their highly anticipated follow-up.

Translating that energy into the studio, the three tracks on their latest EP, Drive, capture a band on a mission, complete with greater songwriting depth, dynamic production and rec...
There are many markers of success in the first-year career of Sleeper Agent, the overachieving Little Garage-Pop Act That Could from Bowling Green, Kentucky. Drummer Justin Wilson, however, prefers to recall the one that best captures the goofy joie de vivre of his group. The date was March 2, 2011, the final day of the first leg of their grueling tour with local buddies Cage the Elephant. This was their first real tour, so Wilson and his bandmates—female singer Alex Kandel, singer-guitarist Tony Smith, bassist Lee Williams, guitarist Josh Martin, and keyboardist Scott Gardner—wanted to commemorate the occasion. They dispatched Gardener, dolled him up in a cheerleader’s outfit—doughy gut and all! &...

For Scattered Trees, Sympathy is a labor of love that almost didn't happen. The band grew up together in the outskirts of Chicago, playing music together in various groups over the years. They became a family in more ways than one, with some of the members sharing last names -albeit for different reasons.

And then, tragedy struck. Lead singer Nate Eiesland's father passed away, and while mourning, Nate picked up his guitar again and started penning a record dedicated to his memory. Those songs became Sympathy.The album is a focused...
