American Bang
About This Incoming! Artist
American Bang's self-titled, loud, sexy, and soulful major-label debut album is a memorable and melodic introduction to the Nashville-based rock group. Produced by the legendary Bob Rock, American Bang has been crafted by a wildly talented gang of young rock 'n rollers who?ve been playing together all their lives. The album captures all the amazing grace and guts of their deep musical roots and Southern accent. It?s clear that American Bang shoots straight at the heart of great American rock 'n roll.
After many incarnations, all four members - lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist Jaren Johnston, lead guitarist Ben Brown, bassist Kelby Ray, and drummer Neil Mason - came of age musically as students of rock 'n roll in the heart of Music City, which has paid off in the group's confident sense of song craft.
American Bang was invited to go on the road to open for some of rock 'n roll?s most respected artists, including ZZ Top and The Pretenders, whose audiences gave them standing ovations on several occasions. "Opening up for these acts is not just an honor," says Brown, ?it?s also a really great test for a band because their audiences are really not there to see you. So if you don't own the stage, they will let you know."
