"Spout is not just powerful, but hooky as hell. See this band while the ticket prices are still low."
Product Description
Spout, listed in the Nashville Rage Magazine's Year End List of 2002 as best local band, is releasing their long awaited first full length CD on September 05 2003. The self-titled debut album has 14 well-produced modern rock tracks that have been heard being sang loudly by young audiences in club after club throughout Nashville this past year. These songs, which speak of true stories of loss, love, a familys lifetime of dealings with abuse and clinical depression, hypocrisy, courtship, sex, and loneliness are just as real as the passion in which Spout plays them.
The album cover, depicting a person writing a notebook with a guitar and a gun in front of him, is representative of how music has saved the life of not only the person in that picture, but many kids Spouts age around the world. The person in that picture could just as easily be writing music, than a note to his family saying hes giving up. Its all in the mind of the viewer and of the listener. The album, produced by Stay-C Hogan with select tracks co-produced by Jim Allison, is 69 minutes of pure modern rock with real stories and real emotion. It ranges from hard rock tunes deemed by Nashville Rage and Scene as "radio-perfect modern rock" to upbeat pop anthems to a self-reflective stripped down ending consisting of only acoustic guitars, a piano, and a 4 string quartet. Spout has shared stages with Nickelback, Default, Everclear, Creed, Eve6, Sr-71, Fiction Plane, and more.
