The Influence

Shifting from the acoustic signature of their self-titled debut album, The Influence is using their talent to project a candid look at reality in their sophomore effort, Pig Radio. From the ashes of a volatile youth, rise Archer Stephenson’s lyrics in the form of a gritty and honest chronicle. His vocal energy invites the audience to slip into his emotions and connect with his inner turmoil and resilience.

Since 2005, The Influence has been drawing fans from across the East Coast. With cultural influences spanning the globe, the five-member band creates an edgy, neo-grunge sound. After a tour including 200 appearances at campuses and premiere venues and performances supporting Carbon Leaf, Los Lonely Boys, and Bowling For Soup, The Influence has set the bar high with their follow up album.

The driving force behind Stephenson’s voice is the band – complemented by Will Clarke and John Zontini’s guitar interplay, bassist Chris Tully thumps the bass groove, as drummer Collin Cogan sets the band’s pulse. Together, they accomplish a striking sound combination that balances homage paid to pioneers such as Cobain and Corgan, while also remaining refreshingly modern in appeal.

From start to finish, Pig Radio offers variety in content. First single, “Cielo Sin Sol” makes its mark with a rebellious bass driven tone, while “At Sunset” concludes the record melodically with upbeat guitars and a warm finish. The current disc exemplifies the band’s nature as it intrigues listeners with moody lyrics, reinvents a rock genre, and uniquely blends the influence of music.
Sovus Radio
Hailing from the explosive Atlanta music scene, psychedelic four-piece, Sovus Radio are poised for multi-dimensional success. Formed in the spring of 2005, the band has built a strong local fan-base, and garnered mounds of critical praise for redefining pop by infusing it with a more menacing rock and roll spirit. Their music revisits the past while looking forward, melding the smooth pop and harmonies of the Beatles and the Everly Brothers with the unbridled energy of The Who and Sonic Youth, with their live shows venturing out into occasional sonic excursions reminiscent of early Pink Floyd and CAN.

Most of the members of the band come from south of Atlanta. Principal songwriter/vocalist/guitarist Ty Thompson has been in the band the longest, bassist Chris Kaufmann joined while still in high school. Drummer Jay Jim James Royals still calls Griffin, Ga home. Organist/guitarist Spencer Pope was the most recent to join, rounding out the lineup of like-minded musicians. Attendees of a Sovus Radio concert can expect entertainment of the highest caliber; Thoughtful pop songs will spiral into soundscapes of fuzz, tape echo, and haunting organ. Vocal harmonies, lo-fi projections, and jangly guitars round out the spectacle. They will surely be a band to watch in the near and present future.
The Thieves
Take the vibe and attitude of old school rock, fuse it with a modern edge, get some serious playing, mix it with real songs and youd be getting close to what The Thieves sound like.

Ridiculously rocking and catchy… expect big things. GIANT

“Verdict: it’s just an E.P, But this could drop huge.” – Drum!

“What makes The Thieves’ album so significant is the fact that the band took their time to write hooks and didn’t settle for repetitive power chords throughout the album. Tales from the White Line might as well be renamed Blues Rock Album of the Year.” – Outburn
