The Pinx
“I was just straight-up shooting for Hellacopters and Led Zeppelin. I’m a blues guitarist in a rock band.” – Adam McIntyre of The Pinx
“We deliberately created the most lean, energetic rock guitar fest that Chance (McColl, Lead Guitar and Vocals) and I could muster,” McIntyre says. “Chuck (Wiles, Bass and Backing Vocals) and Cayce (Buttrey, Drums and Backing Vocals) brought the thunder to our lightning and I feel like my singing on this EP puts my best rock foot forward. My solos are some of the favorites I’ve ever recorded, too.”
Comparing the cover art of the single ‘It’s Electric’ to the band’s previous LP, McIntyre offers a perfect analogy: “‘It’s Electric’ is the black leather jacket to the brown leather jacket of Sisters & Brothers.”
“I just sat down and wrote this record with Chance when it came time,” he says. “All the music and lyrics were there within a few weeks. Nobody really told anybody else what to play, everyone knew what to do.”
The EP’s release on Aug. 14th will be preceded by “It’s Electric” on July 17th and a burn-your-fingers-to-the-bone scorcher “Hammer of the Dogs” on July 31st, the obvious Zep reference being something McIntyre is fine with copping to.
“I figured if Greta Van Fleet can so transparently graft Led Zeppelin onto their songs, I should be able to get away with it.”
The Bohannons are one of Chattanooga’s finest exports, who make heavy rock ’n’ roll that’s equal parts Motörhead and Neil Young, with lead guitar chops that rival both.
From the wilds of Chattanooga spring Bohannons, one of that town’s finest rock bands of the past 20 years, a crackling, snarling beast of an outfit that lands somewhere between Ronnie Wood, Neil Young and a homemade flamethrower. Marty Bohannon’s piercing vocals ride on waves of brother Matt Bohannon’s ringing and whining guitars, driven by the whirling rush of drummer Mike Gaut and bassist Billy C. Robinson’s rhythms. - Stephen Trageser, Nashville Scene In 2006 the Bohannons would set out on their first American tour retracing their steps year after year and setting off in new directions all the while. What would start as archaic recording processes would eventually bring them to some of the most well-known studios in the country, from Electrical Audio in Chicago to Chase Park Transduction in Athens, GA and on to Dialback Sound in Water Valley, Ms. Every album from 2010's Days of Echo to 2015's Luminary Angels is an invitation to listen and look into both the blessings and burdens of the working class south. The framework of the titles dare to encompass the best of rock, blues, country, power pop, punk and metal. We are excited to share with you Bloodroot our latest LP. It's inspired by our home, family, friends, and this indelible planet. The songs are vignettes of this wild journey we are on which is never short of high nor low, and never lacking in love and spirit. - Marty Bohannon
