"If there was ever any fondness in your heart for the kind of music that may as well be aural amphetamines, you’re going to LOVE these guys—so break out the spikes and come enjoy a stage show every bit as impressive as the tunes they play.”
- Marc Michael, The Pulse (Apr 16, 2015)
"It’s back to the golden age of heavy metal with these mosh pit surviving locals"- Marc Michael, The Pulse (Apr 16, 2015)
“From the moment I slipped on the headphones and pressed play, I was transported back to a time of torn denim, heavily adorned with studs, spikes and sharpie marker art”- Marc Michael, The Pulse (Apr 16, 2015)

Pains Chapel, "Alive"
Rock is alive and well in the music of Chattanooga natives Pains Chapel, a band whose influences form the canon of classic rock 'n' roll. Composed of singer Ken Williams, guitarist Jeff Campbell, bassist Teddy Owensby and drummer Tim Gray, the band stomps, thrashes and hurls out guitar riffs like bolts of lightning. Their music is primal and sourced from the very earliest hard rock histories. And though many hard rock bands trade innovation for loudness, Pains Chapel works a nostalgic classic rock aesthetic that would easily have felt at home in the early '70s and puts their influences to work creating uniquely devastating rhythms, squalling sheets of guitar noise and a percussive roar.
On "Alive," the band shows that they're not just mindless hard rock heroes—the song is measured and ferocious, like the best of Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath. Williams howls like Robert Plant, and Campbell streaks the track with flourishes of ornate guitar theatrics. The rhythm section is just as important, though, as Owensby and Gray provide the necessary framework on which to hang these formidable sounds. The band even breaks out an acoustic guitar and uses it as more than just a throwback to their own inspirations; it functions as our entry point into their world of slathering licks and thumping percussion. It's loud but complicated and conveys decades of experiences in just a few short minutes.
