The Underground Press

About Me

The Underground Press is a down home roots-rock'n'roll outfit hailing from Southeastern Virginia. They mix rock, southern rock, blues and alt- country vibes in a Dixie cup and see what happens every time they hit the stage. The boys got together in 2005 after being in a string of working bands in Virginia Beach, Charlottesville and Atlanta and something clicked; next thing you know the Press was born. Click a track and check it out for yourselves. Drop us a line if you're down with what you hear and we hope to see y'all soon at the next watering hole we invade.

Later,
