About Me

IN A NUTSHELL...
Since being named one of the top ten unsigned bands in the country by the American Music Awards in 2003, indie alt-pop quartet the Argument has been captivating audiences and converting new fans with its clever, creative songwriting and trademark keyboard-driven pop hooks. Using Morgantown, WV, a town with a 28,000-plus college student population, as its launching pad, the Argument has toured 25 states, shared the stage with national acts such as Keane, Fountains of Wayne and Howie Day, sold nearly 12,000 CDs, made 2 national radio appearances on Public Radio Internationals Mountain Stage, and has had 3 singles in Top 40 rotation in their home market. They have also been featured and played on Washington DCs DC101, Indianapoliss WNOU and XM Radio. The result is a band poised for the next level with an intensely loyal fan base stretching from coast to coast.
Great pop smarts, strong musicianship and accomplished songwriting, raves Pittsburgh Magazine. Industry insider Kings of A&R dubs the Argument major-label quality alternative-pop and Pop Matters.com gushes "the Argument is a real group of superb musicians putting out well-produced tuneful pastiches that trade on clever lyrics and have a host of hooks abounding - it’s a wondrous thing."
