Upstart Monday: The Sally Growlers
Joining us for this week’s Upstart Monday is California-based band The Sally Growlers! Jim and Frank spoke with Separate Sound…
Separate Sound: Describe your sound to us.
The Sally Growlers: Jim - Pounding Metal Riffs and Mega Overdrive Drumming combined with penetrating bass grooves with powerful world-class vocals.
Frank- We sound like helicopters landing in a hot LZ. We have a Seattle sound.
SS: Who are the members of your band and what brought you together?
TSG: The perfect storm-like combination of the shredding guitar mastery of Jim Leach paired with the rock solid rhythm section made up of Frankie Dee (Drums) and Pete Zeiner (Bass/ Vocals) creates a true “wall of sound” that seems both larger than a simple power trio and often more complex.
SS: What keeps you playing music, day after day? What makes you love playing music?
TSG: Jim - It is in our Blood unless you have it you won’t understand 
Frank - The art of it and the freedom to express my-self the way I want right or wrong. I love to play live. This is the only thing in life I feel comes to me naturally.
SS: What’s the story behind your name?
TSG: Frank - It is a pissed fish from the East Coast. Pete is from New Jersey and knows this badass fish.
[Jim also directs us to this site, which describes the delightful Sally Growler, or Sea Raven, in more detail.]
SS: How can fans get ahold of your music?
TSG: Our Snazzy Website or Myspace.
If you’re in the Santa Cruz, California area, you can catch The Sally Growlers in concert. Everybody else can check out their new release Bite online or on disc.
