The Decks are Detroit's highest energy twenty somethings with catchy hooks and infectious attitude. Get on over and check them out if you can...they put on a nice show.

Hammer No More The Fingers is a 3 piece from Durham/Chapel Hill, NC. In 1994 they were a collective of 10 year olds playing all original music except for an Archers of Loaf cover. Pixies, Chili Peppers, TMBG, Nirvana probably formed the mold. So you could shoehorn them into an early 90's indie revival type thing, but that's a little like putting a squid in a sweater. Hammer No More The Fingers' sound is luxuriously full for a 3 piece. They write catchy, edgy, slightly off-kilter rock music and their live show is powerful and reckless, yet somehow tasteful and refined. Searing, mellow, crunchy, they do brain surgery and tree removal with the same pocket knife, producing a small-club-arena-rock, happy-from-the-inside, soul jam.

Steve McCauley is the Scarlet Oaks frontman who is also excellent solo. No twangin' aside, Steve will lay it down Hank Williams style (minus the spina bifida).
