notes


Bass guitarist Tim Collins has spent the past 16 years playing music. Always the jack of all trades, playing whatever was missing from guitar to drums to bass. He was brought up on late 70's and 80's rock. Everything from Zepplin and Kiss to Motley Crue and Metallica.

Tim founded the group with singer/songwriter Shon Miller in early 99. Shon is originally from California and was working in the Atlanta area at the time. It just so happened that he found an add posted for a singer/songwriter and answered the call. Shon was brought up on blues and hip/hop.

Lori Collins was recruited for the drums in mid 99. Lori's musical background is similar to Tim's. Especially considering that they have been together for 12 years. She however did get a lot of exposure to dance music and southern rock due to the fact that she has brothers and sisters 6 to 8 years her senior.

Andy Cannon was brought in to complete the group in late 2000. Andy has played guitar for 14 years. He has a lot of classical background. He also has always been a big fan of the blues. After months of writing and rehearsing the band has now recorded their 1st full length CD.

The self-titled debut consists of 13 tracks. The songs are each unique unto themselves. And will take you from one extreme to the other through rock.

    I definitly like the fact that this band has versatility. I like a wide range of music so this CD by far is really great. This band should be signed to a record deal immediatly because they are definitly a band that would make a lot of money with music like this.

  • Not another cookie cutter "boy band"

    From a heartwrenching EXODUS to a headbanging BUILT FOR COMFORT and back to a snappy and upbeat LEMONADE SUNSHINE, this CD has something for everyone. This is the best spent money I have paid for a CD in a very long time. I've been ILL MIC'D!!!

    author: Dina Ballew

    I can't remember the last time I bought a CD that I loved every song on it... I love the emotional rollercoaster ride of the whole CD. The lyrics bring out feelings that everyone should relate to. The lay out is fab, not letting you get too hard or too mellow. I love the versatility of the band to play all the different styles and still keep you rockin'. Totally recommended!!! Better yet, see them live and be blown away!!! Sound as good or better in person with awesome show. Pyro, presence, talent, this band has it all!!!!!

  • One CD...one band...a song for every mood. Pure genius
    author: Greg Goss

    Rarely can you find a CD that has such a wide variety of music styles on it performed by a single band and still enjoy every minute of it. This is one of those CD's that let you experience your full range of emotions through the music as well as the lyrics. You can hear as well as feel the heart and soul that the band members pour into each and every song. Out of my 200+ CD's...this one is one of the few that deserves a permanant spot in the cd changer!

  • Great feel to the music. Has a unique blend of different music genres.
    author: Richard Heatly

    This cd truly shows the ability of the band to be very versatile. They have an instinct of when to add a sound that the listener would never even imagine might come from a band like this. The harmonicas on

  • This band SHOW'S EM
    author: Hit Man

    From the beautiful lyrics of Beautiful and Exodus to the heavy heart pounding music of Circles, SAME JOE and Built 4 comfort, this band is what every listener can relate to. Every song will catch your attention. Powerful from every aspect, from the guitar all the way to the drums. This has got to be one of those rare groups that will put out a CD and you like every song that is on it. I have been buying music for as far back as I can remember but this is the one of very few that I can say that I dig every song on the CD.

  • Very creative, music will hit a wider variety of listeners.
    author: Kevin Grimm

    Ill Mic has got to be the hottest un-signed band around.

  • One of a kind!!!
    author: Kimberly Balkcom
