I have a big announcement to make. After 10+ years in the entertainment biz I’ve officially decided to jump in head first and manage a band. Those of you that know me know I’m always working on 10 things at once, and adding management to my plate is a huge commitment that I’m not willing to make and a huge risk that I’m not willing to take unless it’s an aritst I really believe in. Well that artist is Slow Motion Centerfold.
They are a rock band from Nashville, TN comprised of four best friends from childhood (two of whom are brothers) plus a Tyson Beckfordish dude on drums.
The band’s influences are so broad they are hard to pin down musically. Guitar rock revisionists? Keyboard pop song deconstructionists? SMC can play in a lot of different keys. But whatever you want to call the sound, the band brings an intensity to their live shows, driven largely by front man Alex Hall’s high wire antics.
SMC shows can best be described as: Explosive. Animated. Volatile. Melodic. Snappy. Rambunctious. Catchy as “fill in the blank”.
Their debut album titled “Rock The Body Language” was produced by Brian Virture whose list of credits are too long to list but include Jane’s Addiction, Audioslave, 30 Seconds to Mars, & Deftones just to name a few.
GIVE “ROCK THE BODY LANGUAGE” A LISTEN and let me know what you think. How would you describe their sound? Who do you think they are influenced by? The bio is always being edited so maybe I can include your poetic description?
A bit boring. Sorry . . . .
Hmm I was looking for feedback from people that enjoyed the music. Looking for descriptive terms here. Sorry they are not up your alley everyone's got different tastes and I respect that. But I will say if you saw them live boring is the last word I would use to describe them.
I have been following these guys since 2006. They are my new favorite band and I can't wait for them to buy their van and boogey on down to Houston. Book them in Houston please. If not book them somewhere in Texas. If not, screw it, I will fly to where ever they play and see them. I effing love this band.
Love you crazy steve!! I want you to join our street team. If we have believers like you in Houston we will make a trip there asap.
OMG! finally! i saw this band play when i was in athens, georgia for showercap. haha they told the funniest story about how there drummer was arrested right before the show! god but they were so good, so happy they seem to be doing well! ALMA ROSEEEEEEeee!!!!
I fell of the BUTR bandwagon for a short time, but I'm back and am I glad! I am passionate about finding new artists to listen to and this band rocks! I've not had the pleasure of seeing them live but will be watching for them. It's a little bit Maroon Five ish but MOSTLY they're their own sound and I can't wait to add them to my music library! Thanks for finding these 'gems'! 🙂
Maybe a little bit Red Hot Chili Peppers, too? 😉
yep and cage the elephant and motown and iggy pop and classic rock and british pop are also influences. it's a melting pop so it's fresh right? 🙂
PLEASE GET THIS BAND GOING AGAIN. I’m from Nashville and I know they had a big fan base here…just gotta get the right people to listen to them because they could be special. Another RHCP in the making.
