ORAL

Get ready for a whole new generation of rock music. At the forefront is the band Oral. Their unique sound is bound to raise head banging tendencies, with a rock groove that is not too overwhelming, yet hardcore enough to get you hooked.

With influences like Godsmack, Tool, Saliva, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, their music is bound to possess the rock/alternative mix that is sure to please. The band hails from Ohio, and has gone through a few members to form the power trio that is Oral. Steven Paul on guitar and vocals is the original member of Oral, joined by drummer Billy Werner, and Mike Chomas on vocals and bass. The band has been together for about 5 years, and only gets better throughout the years. Their music is diverse, not only because of the experience of the individual members, but also because of their own moods and feelings regarding love and hate, which they incorporate into their songs. Their music is certainly radio ready, as their songs are universally relatable. Oral has two CDs out, the first being Diversity, and the second entitled Word of Mouth, released in 2007. They are currently working on their third record, due to drop in the fall of 2008. The guys have shows planned throughout the fall around Ohio, and plan on expanding their route nationally. This is possible, as their music has earned considerable radio play domestically and internationally. They have also won 93.7’s Battle for Ozzfest in 2006 in Pittsburgh, in addition to opening for various national headliners. Oral believes that the live show is what sets them apart from other bands saying, “the live show we put on, and the way we come together on stage gets the crowd pumped.” To find out more about Oral, including live shows to witness their performances, visit Oralmusic.com,www.myspace.com/oraltheband, CDBaby, To their fans, the guys say, “Be open minded.
