The Evik James Band is a gritty power pop rock trio based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota and is set to hit area venues, festivals and radio markets this spring and summer. Their late-2009 release Under Your Sun is currently being heard on local and internet radio.
The first two radio-friendly singles from their full-length album are the title track "Under Your Sun"and "The Last Time".
Their music is a bold blend of listener-friendly choruses in the mode of Tom Petty and John Cougar Mellencamp paired with the visceral grit of AC/DC and Pearl Jam.
The band consists of three highly explosive musicians. Evik James is the lead vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter. Michael Fiato, handles bass and backing vocals. Jeff Thaves sits behind the drum set and keeps the rhythm simple and solid.
Interesting lyrics and sing-along melodies meld with original music to create a sound that is both warmly familiar yet fresh and edgy. The songs are stories about ”life, death, and all the crazy sh*t that happens in between.”
In support of their new release, EJB is booking local shows, festivals, benefits, interviews, in-store and in-studio appearances this spring and summer.
