About the Artist

From the inner city streets of Elizabeth, NJ, emerges E-Town Concrete, a truly powerful five piece sculpted by their urban environment. The band was formed in the summer of 1995 as a side project of a garage band in which Anthony and Ken played guitar and Ted was on bass. For E-Town, Ken’s role remained the same, while Anthony and Ted applied their talents to other areas. Now, Anthony was experimenting with vocals and Ted found himself comfortably behind the drums. David, a childhood friend of the trio, was recruited to play guitar. Two bassists later, Eric joined the band to solidify the lineup. E-Town Concrete was now complete.

E-Town’s music flows naturally creating a unique blend of emotion, hip-hop and hardcore that is refreshingly authentic. E-Town Concrete wears its heart on its sleeve for the world to see, lending an instant credibility to their music. Dealing with many of life’s harsh realities, Anthony’s eye opening lyrics conjure up powerful images that refuse to go away. This is not your run of the mill rock/rap hybrid by any means, all aspects of their music are done “right” and their versatility is apparent. E-Town’s hip-hop interludes come-off so well that they demand respect by even the most narrow minded rap purists, while still churning out the types of guitar riffs that can make any dance floor erupt into a frenzy. E-Town has truly bridged the gap. They have been accepted by fans of all genres in every music community, and continue to win people over everywhere.

In just three short years, E-Town Concrete has built an impressive following worldwide, and it hasn’t been easy. Hard work, talent, and sacrifice are the key ingredients to their success. E-Town’s popularity has skyrocketed because of heavy airplay from radio stations across the United States. College Music Journal charted E-town in the top five loud rock adds the week of April 6, 1998. They have also charted on commercial frequencies such as 92.3 K-Rock in New York City (the home of Howard Stern), Energy FM 90.0 in Erie Pennsylvania, as well as Seton Hall University’s WSOU – the titans of college radio. E-Town Concrete has also landed themselves some impressive write-ups and reviews in reputable music publications such as Juice (FEB/MAR ‘98), In Effect (Winter ’98) and Strength (JUN/JUL ’98), to name a few.

1998 is the “dawn of a reign” and E-Town Concrete will continue to overcome all obstacles on their way to the top. E-Town is bringing originality and passion back into music like no other. As they continue to climb the ladder of success, let it be known, E-Town Concrete can not and will not be denied.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad., October 31, 2001

I don't understand the whole rap/metal thing, and risking the chance of sounding ignorant I don't really want to understand it.

However, coming from the New Jersey hardcore scene it's kind of hard not to have seen these guys a few times... when I checked out the album, it's one of the few that does both rap and metal justice. Worth checking out.
