The Grind

Add to My Profile |
"...Superstar Parades from Nashville’s November delivers a hearty dose of melodic hard rock music, suitable for inclusion in any rock lover’s CD collection...The songs are diverse and well crafted on this sophomore release. The anthemic “New Years Day” opens the CD perfectly with its rousing guitars and catchy lyrics...The rest of the CD unfolds releasing gem after gem from the slight punk influence and screaming guitar solo in “The Grind” to the guitar-fueled energy in “Puppy Dog” and “Runaway...the lush vocals of Briley take the music to a higher level, making it a need to have CD"
--- Performer Magazine (May 2008)
"...The band's approach is firmly modern — high-speed rockers like "The Grind" have the stiff charge and Weiland-y sneer of Velvet Revolver, and "California" is a textbook example of the post-grunge power ballad.....But even when certain songs fit a certain mold well, they stay away from modern rock's silly extremes. Lead singer Hunter Briley's husky pipes might be dangerously close to those of Hinder's Austin Winkler, but Briley reminds you that it's actually a fine vocal tone to have once you stop growling all over the place..."

"...A band comes along every so often that I automatically dig. I was introduced to this band, November, through Sonicbids.com and I have not turned back. These guys reside in Nashville, TN but their sound resonates far beyond..."

"...One of Nashville's hottest rock bands is partnering with Positive Spin for the CD release party you won't forget. 12th & Porter will be THE hot spot this Saturday night with November's release of Superstar Parades. Check out the music video for "The Grind"..."

"...With a top-notch sound, solid production, excellent mixing, the right amount of guitars, rich but powerful, ("powerful" being the key word,) vocals, fancy drum lines and underneath it all, a concrete bass guitar...these tracks from November's Superstar Parades should start your head banging and reaching for the volume knob"
--- HardRock Haven 2008
“…vocalist Hunter Briley powerful vocal range is similar to Eddie Vedder with the added bonus that this singing style is clear and articulate….the musicianship of the band is clearly evident with the initial spinning of the CD…Begin The Fall…worthy of a place in almost any rock fans collection”

“Thick, throaty vocals bellow out on “Crash.” The vocals are flanked by some meaty riffage… “Vertical” is a powerful rocker that’s sure to get people moving”
--- Rock Is Life 2007
“If you haven’t heard these guys, you definitely need to give them a listen before you hear them blasting out of speakers all over America”
--- The Nashville Music Scene
Based out of Nashville, Tennessee, November combines a mixture of classic hard rock riffs with contemporary songwriting. Pounding drums, raucous guitars and soulful vocals make this band one that will be celebrated by many in the music world for years to come.
Tired of playing hired gigs in other bands, drummer Michael Dale decided to start the ultimate rock band. After crossing paths with singer Hunter Briley, and guitartists Albert Zampino and Erik Lundquist, the four began honing the sound that would become november. In search of the final element to complete november, Dale called on his long time friend and rhythmic partner Jeremy Brashears. After only one rehearsal, it was obviuous that the final piece was in place.
"For us, being in november is a realization. A realization that, despite extremely diverse influences, it all comes down to rock. November crosses hard driving guitars with huge infectious melodies that shove energy and invite a fiery whirlwind that defines rock for today"
