I grew up in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and now live in Nashville: I don't know if I could ever live anywhere but the South. I just bought my first piano, an upright named Cecilia, and I love her. I'm obsessed with the string quartet - I think the cello is the most beautiful instrument in existence, and listening to someone play it puts me in a blissful stupor. One of my absolute favorite things to do is to take an evening and cook an elaborate dinner. I light a fire in the fireplace, put some Frank Sinatra on my record player, don my yellow polka-dotted and monogrammed apron, and pour myself a glass of wine. Playing "Susie Homemaker" soothes my soul just like playing music does.

I've been dubbed the "Cupcake Queen" by my friends: I love baking cupcakes. While we were recording this album, my engineer & producer would always joke before I would walk into a session: "I wonder what today's flavor is?" I would show up at almost every session with a plate full of cupcakes. It's one of the ways I love on people. And above all, I love writing. I've found that it's the only way I can connect with the depths of myself, and be completely honest about what's really going on in my life. Somehow the truth is easier to say when it's paired with beautiful music.

I'm still learning myself, still discovering who I want to be. This record turned out to be a documentation of that process. Looking back on it now, I realize that at points, I am painfully honest in the lyrics - some of them literally came straight from the pages of my journal, the intimate diary that no one but me reads. But I wanted that; I wanted to give you that...because I'm willing to bet that you've been through some of the exact same experiences I have, and if you and I can connect through those experiences with these songs, I want nothing more. I can truly say that I love each of the songs, and that I am a proud momma over my songbabies.

Porto San Giorgio, age six, Italian native Andrea Iacopini studied classical music with a violin, incorporating solfeggio and piano until rock-and-roll urged him to buy his first guitar at age sixteen.Finishing his Computer Science program at University of Bologna, he moved to San Francisco to pursue music full time in 2006. He founded two bands while studying Audio and Post Production, and found ...the stage name John Revo. In April 2011, finally underwhelmed by the city, Andrea set his sights on Nashville in search of a drummer to partner in a duo-project long on the horizon.

Scott Soifer found the drums at age ten, practicing on a drum pad until he had a full set in the basement some three years later.Scott took private lessons until he attended Berklee College of music in 2000, influenced heavily by Stuart Copeland, Clyde Stubblefield, Herb Alexander and Chad Smith.He began teaching drums full-time and gigging with multiple groups in his hometown of Dayton, Ohio, later in Austin, and eventually to Nashville where he met Andrea, working at the Holland house. An impromptu rehearsal led to six more sessions and as many bottles of Four Roses and Sweet Lucy, just enough for Two Bit Charlie to record their first EP in Andrea's living room.

Scott and Andrea's vast differences in background and influence noticeably shape their sound, exacting a gritty conglomeration of genres with throbbing verses and explosive choruses, setting the primary focus of this new duo to the dialogue of dynamics.

Much has been written in recent years proclaiming the 'death of Rock and Roll'. A quick look at the charts -- where flavor-of-the-week pop stars, the newest hip hop fads or hot new country singers all outnumber Rock acts by 5 to 1 -- seems to confirm the declaration. The cause, however, is far from lost. Rock and Roll is alive and well-armed, claiming new terrain in clubs, bars and civic halls. It... is in these trenches that Nashville, Tennessee's Sound&Shape, are leading the charge.

Tenn Pound Hammer is smashing into the music scene with the sounds of dirty rock and soul music. Their heavy, vintage sound shatters modern rock and roll, crumbling it back to its original edge. Tenn Pound Hammer is not only taking a swing at a grungy, bluesy style, but cracking down on a sound that they can call their own.
