NEW SOUNDS: THE YELLING

Have I got a band for you!! I've been playing a band on my radio show called MARYANDI for weeks, but there was no information on this mysterious band, not even a Myspace page, until now. They are actually called THE YELLING, and I think they've caught lightning in a bottle. Track "Blood On The Steps" is like blitzkrieg, and "21st Century Freak" takes BOWIE and mashes it with NIRVANA. Frontman Nathaniel Cox and guitarist Robert Davis grew up together in Southern Illinois before moving to LA to start a band. Robert's Mom owned and ran a guitar shop in Carbondale, IL and that triggered their musical interest, and after seeing the band live at our party a few weeks back, this guy has riffs up his sleeves that we aren't even ready for, as he's an incredible guitarist. Their afro'd drummer Michael Judd is from South Africa via Boston, and the latest addition is bassist Wiley Hodgden. I was impressed with Wiley's ability to finger pick one moment and play it straight the next, and even more floored when I found out how recently he joined the unit. Collectively they make music that will not sit unnoticed for long, and already, after only a few shows, the weasels are sniffing at their doors.

Your officially warned, THE YELLING will start turning up everywhere soon enough.
