TRUBADOR is an American rock band based out of Nashville TN. They have melodic driven songs with originality, depth, emotion and plenty of hard-driving drums. The singer vocalizes most songs with a heavily-felt presence. Sometimes they lighten up with acoustic work but still remain firmly infused in their heavier roots.
They've been described as having the sadness and haunting sounds of Black Sabbath, to the heavy feel of Alice in Chains in some songs. Most of their fans are music listeners who enjoy long listens, album rock, 90's heavy/grunge style and 70's metal bands. With a requirement of strong song writing.
TRUBADOR is a rule breaker. Known frequently to break rock-song rules by having many structures built within each song. They continually will push the boundaries of a listener. This can range from having no chorus, to no singing on a chorus, using half vocalized and half instrumental songs, going straight acoustic, and using a range of lyric content from three worded songs to 9 minute epics.
They're described best by their fans as very original, kick ass rock with a return to serious music writing as an art form. What the band says they do best is this; "We place a lot of emotional trust in our listeners. We know we don't always follow the rules of what your "supposed to do" or what's popular for musicians today but we're guided more by what we feel the song needs and how we feel when listening to it. Ultimately we leave all of our trust in the ears of our listeners and fans. They're really what this is all about for us. Getting our music into their hands and building a relationship with them."
Record Label Offers: If TRUBADOR was offered a million dollars right now to a record label, we would not take it. Reason being; you can bet at that price (or any price these days) the label will whore you out, screw you in the you-kno-wut and basically hav you dancing like a bear for the masses. Skrew that man. Not in a million years. Our music iz our life. That and our beliefs. That's all we have. You wanna kno what heaven on earth is? Its getting into that groove, getting lost in the song, having sweat pour down your face and looking up to see someone in the audience "sharing" that moment with you. There's no price to be paid for that man. none at all. Heaven is not owing the record label all your earnings and doing a Best Buy tour playing in the store next to the headphones and mp3 players. screw labels unless they start givin a damn about the bands that feed them. rant over - marcoe
