Hailing from Chattanooga, TN, Coy bravely follows in the footsteps of some of the best-known bands ever assembled. Just like their predecessors—KISS, Enuff Znuff, and Poison, to name a few—Coy is a four-piece, all-male band. In fact, the only difference the casual observer may notice between Coy and the aforementioned legends is the length of their hair. However, five other nuances actually exist, ranging from musical style and lyrical content to personality.
1. In the place of overzealous guitar introductions, Kevin Gray pounds out an upbeat—though restrained—piano part.
2. Instead of excessive ego and self-promotion, Coy loves everyone and everything. Their drummer even treats his kit with respect. He’s that nice.
3. While the entire world screams “FEEDBACK†and “SLOPPY GUITAR STUFF,†guitarist Jason Hill defiantly plays each note with precise precision and tries to stay in tune as often as possible.
4. Trite lyrics about “Girls, Girls, Girls†are replaced with thoughtful lyrics about…girls. After all, there is no need for all that silly repetition!
5. Bass player Roman Penney is breaking free of the stereotypical bass player role as “the most ignored player in the band†by asking for his part in this bio to come first.
But wait—there’s more! These guys put their blood, sweat, and tears into each song, stringing together notes in a way that is both enjoyable and nice to listen to. It just makes sense. Now it’s your turn to present Coy’s common-sense approach to piano-driven pop and roll to your city...
