The Main Street Gospel sign to Tee Pee Records and release "Love WIll Have Her Revenge"
The Main Street Gospel have signed with
Tee Pee Records and will release their debut album "Love Will Have
Her Revenge" on June 29th.
The
Main Street Gospel is a Columbus, Ohio trio who mix psych-infused
classic rock with dusty country vibes and dirt-stained blues. The
band was born in 2005, when Barry Dean–former tambourine shaker for the
Brian Jonestown Massacre–began writing songs with longtime friend
Ryan
“Tito” Ida. Adam Scoppa joined the band on drums the following year.
Dean grew up around music, as his grandfather was a touring and
recording guitarist for acts like Roy Rogers & The Sons of the
Pioneers and The Georgia Crackers. It’s safe to say that
passion for
country music was passed on to his grandson. Tito grew up listening to
Hank Williams and Bob Dylan and also paved his musical
path early on.
Scoppa takes his back beat cues from vintage Chicago blues and '60s
garage.
Together, the band has a strong sense of understanding and respect for
the true roots of rock n’roll. Their sound recalls elements of folk
giants The Byrds and Neil Young, while at the same time
retaining the
modern aesthetics of revivalists like Spacemen 3 and Black
Rebel
Motorcycle Club.
To date, The Main Street Gospel have played several shows with
like-minded bands such as Dead Meadow, Hopewell and fellow
Ohioans Buffalo Killers.
In early 2008, the trio mobilized themselves to Akron Analog Studio in
Akron, Ohio to record what would become the band’s first 7" single.
‘All Your Love Is Gone’ b/w ‘Who Shot You Down’ was
recorded and
engineered by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, whose influence
certainly
resonates. While the songs are decidedly stripped-down in essence, they
still manage to accomplish a big, layered sonic delivery.
The Main Street Gospel's debut album will be 11 tracks of cool, driving
rock n' roll titled Love Will Have Her Revenge, sure to
please bluesy alternative country, classic rock, and psych fans.
