COW

COW have been described by music press as a 'stylish, seamlessly melded group of very skilled players' with the self titled debut disc described as having an 'overall blend' being 'near perfect'. COW's songs are described as having 'reflective, worldly wise narratives drawing you in to these lives as if they live around the corner' (see full review at http://www.sablues.org/).This five-piece band features the two-guitar attack of Anthony Scott and Rich Coldwell augmented with keyboards of Glyn Lehmann and a crack rhythm section in bassist Michael Boundy and drummer Steve McBeath. COW brought their common experiences and chemistry as working musicians to these songs. Rich’s mixture of clever wordplay, sharp imagery and deep sentiment, married to melodies that stick and backed up with strong arrangements, finds a straightforward and kinetic voice in this recording and band. COW fuses the simplicity and honesty of country music and folk with the bracing fury of rootsy alternative rock and this music hybrid style accentuating the power of these musical forms. COW has the ability to be scorching and searing, sweet and aching and could blast, blaze and blow the roof off of a room, then turn around and be quietly acoustic, having you weep into your beer.The band’s songs are meditations on small-town, small-time life, candid snapshots of real life relationships, and the joy of making new and strange acquaintances. COW offers a collection of intelligent and heartfelt songs full of integrity and honesty to every performance that somehow reminds the heart of its old friends. COW’s new material has a comfortable, timeless feel but still challenges the listener. Myspace Backgrounds
