“It has been said many times and in many ways the what the world needs now is another rock and roll band. This could very well be the one of which the pundits spoke.
The crisp and exacting music of THE ENERGY has been a long time coming, although the group itself was formed only shortly before the inspired recording of their first album. THE ENERGY consists of four parts: composers Triplett and Bates performing on electric guitar and vocals respectively; Josh Wolf, percussionist, bronze god, pulse of the rhythm section; and bass guitarist Chris “Chris Ryan” Ryan. For the past ten years or so each of these fellows has been pursuing his own private destiny within the confines of the “punk rock jungle.” Their varied apprenticeships include stints with infamous groups from past decades and more recent sorties such as the short-lived but illustrious “Ultimate Spinach.” As is so rarely the case, the whole of THE ENERGY is greater than the sum of its parts, and the newly formed amalgam threatens to undermine the foundations of the rock power elite.
Thus treads heavily the titanic THE ENERGY, casting a long shadow upon the contemporary rock wasteland, aspiring to spill its seed on barren ground, and at the same time, struggling to make sense out of the flotsam and jetsam of its eclectic musical heritage. With a solid first album under its belt, and with an ever-expanding reputation as a dynamic performing group, it would appear that THE ENERGY’s place on the American musical scene is assured.
THE ENERGY. It’s Growing.”
