About Me

Forged in the fiery wasteland of Columbus, Ohio, House of Cards is here to bring the rock. Featuring a huge mess of influences, realized as a sound combining the best aspects of electronica, post-rock, and pop, House of Cards maintains a pop sheen with huge choruses and hooks.

The band originated from Justin (guitar, programming, falsetto) and John (vocals, megaphone), but quickly enveloped Steve Neme (guitar, vocals), and then Dan (drums) into its cohesive, ooze-like grip. Bob (bass) rounds out the low end for one of the thickest, wall of sound bands you'll hear.

Underground.fm show

If anyone is interested in the whole thing let me know. The fuzzing/clipping out on John's mic that you hear in the clip runs throughout the interview, but we'll put it out there if you want it.
