"Upbeat funky rock that's guaranteed to get ya movin'".
This is the phrase that most people would use to describe St. Louis, Missouri's Essence Of Logic. The band, formed in 2001, is an energetic, powerful 5-piece group consisting of drummer Brian Schaeffer, guitarist Dave Seithel, bassist Drew Franklin, DJ-MAHF on turntables and vocalist/guitarist Jeff Nations. E.O.L. smoothly blends elements of rock, funk, reggae, jazz and hip-hop to create their upbeat, melodic, funky sound and the music is rounded out by Nations laid-back, life-is-good lyrical style which he backs with a strong, loud, in-your-face vocal presence.
Essence Of Logic put their name on the radio across the U.S. with their 2003 demo, The Larry Elliot EP, which was followed up with their 2004 full-length debut, What's The Story?. What's The Story? earned the band even more radio play, slots on several compilation discs, distribution through Blue Sky Media and CDBaby.com (which put the album in stores in Japan and made it available on 50+ digital downloading services) and continued to spread their positive sound and message.
2006 saw the band touring even harder and picking up a handful of honors into early 2007. In April '07 the band decided to disband and go their separate ways citing creative differences. The final E.O.L. show is slated for November 9, 2007. Don't miss it.
