The Reigning Sound was born in Memphis, TN. Its daddy was a Flash & The
Memphis Casuals 45 and its mother a Barbara Pittman single. Life was not easy
for this musical what-not. Kids shunned it for its rock`n'roll sensibility
and obvious lack of polished shtick. In true stepchild fashion though, the
band continued to develop a unique sound all it's own that didn't really
focus on any of the preconceived genres. Within weeks they found their
audience and were shakin' down the house at clubs all over town. "Hail, Hail
Rock 'n' Roll and fuck your prefab garage" appears to be some sort of battle
cry for them. This from their leader Greg Cartwright whose previous bands The
Oblivians & Compulsive Gamblers were so closely linked to the "Garage Punk"
stereotype of ten years ago. "We were never really like most of the other
bands" says Greg." I covered R&B, gospel or country songs with absolutely no
regard for any 60's aesthetic or sound, I just enjoyed finding an obscure
song and breathing some new life into it." This same instinct for a truly
inspired cover or a genius original can be found in the Reigning Sound. Greg
is aided by bass player Jeremy Scott, organist/guitarist Alex Greene and
drummer Greg Roberson. The first album, which is on SFTRI, showed Greg's
talent for crafting great moody soundscapes but "Time Bomb High School"
their new record on In The Red, shows you the full spectrum of their dynamic
live show. Catch them this summer on their West coast tour with the Hives and
see what it's all about.
