You’re hungry.
Driving through the middle of nowhere, the only food available is in a mid-major supermarket in a nondescript strip mall. You walk to the deli counter, suspiciously perusing the pre-packaged food before you. Of all the choices, it seems a regular sandwich would be the safest bet. But as you reach for it, you are shocked by the weight it carries and the reasonable price it offers. This is far more than you’d expected. It’s huge, and it’s more satisfying than you were hoping for.
That’s The Heavy Sandwich.
Five musicians gathered together a little over two years ago for nothing more than a few impromptu performances, but a union quickly grew. The mutual love for spontaneous creativity led to blistering live shows, and the band, although under a different moniker each performance, developed a dedicated following. It was obvious that the time had come to take things seriously. The five sat down together with this in mind, and The Heavy Sandwich was born. The band stayed true to its roots of improvisation and playing “in the moment”, but also began writing songs together. In a very short time The Sandwich had written more than enough songs to fill an album, so they took their act to various places in the Southeast and were met with enthusiastic response.
Originally conceived as a live band, they constantly tweaked their performances to encompass a startling diversity of sound. Rock, blues, improv, pop, funk, r&b – you name it, and they can play it. The musical ability of each member has allowed The Sandwich to play virtually whatever they want, and the voracious appetites of their fans encourage them to do so. All of the five are prolific songwriters, so original material is a luxury. Taking advantage of this, the band recently wrapped up recording of their debut album, “Songs About Stuff Sometimes”.
With already well over 10,000 MySpace plays, limitless ideas and a rabid following, The Heavy Sandwich is just beginning.

Take a lil blind melon, a lil dead. Add a pinch of King's X, some Elvis Costello perhaps? Fold the dough together with the baking skills of your sweet ole Grandma and you get an album thats right there with those biscuits fresh outa the oven.
Granted I am bias because I'm live in Rock Vegas, the town where this sleeping dragon of a band rests their heads.
If you've ever heard any of these musicians perform live you know they bring it, but what a lot of people dont know is some of these guys are pro studio musicians. And it really comes through in the album.
I've been listening to the album a good bit since the release party (which was a blast btw), in fact the CD is in my car player and hasn't moved.
I have heard the band live a lot so now I skip "To You" which is the song I've heard most (i think they begin most shows with it) and that is the only reason i skip it. This is my only gripe with how the album was setup.
Now the impressive stuff: Eve thru We Meet At The End is a solid 5 song block of sound that blends many styles together. The tones, lyrical content, dueling guitars, synced by the technical yet funky bass playing (while singing no less) and Adams rock solid drums blend like like late '90s blind melon. A sound that is sorely missed by all, but will never die round these parts.
Its the sound that born of our area, that rests 2 hours from beautiful mountains and 3 hours from old coastal cities.
And if you have never been to the Carolinas, just sit back and listen to Crescent Moon. And if you are away from SC and cant find your way home, run it back and listen to it again to dream your way here.
My favorite song is Suggestion... I'm not entirely sure why, but I'm a guitar player so its probably those dueling guitars I wash talkin bout. I especially dig the breakdown, the bass lures the guitar in and then forces it into a wah pedal laced frenzy... beautiful.
Then you smooth it all out with "Won't let You down"
Gansta rap it aint. Pop, not even close. Alternative Rock... I guess? If I had to label it, I'd call it Carolina Rock and boy have I missed you :D
Peace Y'all
