If you want an idea
of how Boy Hits Car sounds, take the modern metal agro-crunch guitar styling
and throw in a high register vocalist in the vain of Rushs Geddy Lee and
more progressive instrumentation. While its not what we are used
to with the low growl like vocals of other modern metal bands, the tenor
of vocalist CRegg really add a new dimension to the sound. The Rush comparisons
dont stop there, the guitar leads take on an almost Rush style on various
tracks. Mixed with the half step stop timing that is so prevalent today
among aggressive rock, Boy Hits Car do a convincing job of combining the
two genres with the unique vocals and the addition of true lead guitar
riffs, not just drop tuning and a semi-progressive rhythm section. The
inclusion of clean guitar tracks on some of the songs also adds a more
layered feeling.
Boy Hits Car is a
refreshing new take on modern metal that isnt content on just being one
of the pack.
This CD is a worthy
addition for anyone who likes their music on the heavier side.

The
Bio

The lights onstage
dim, the audience erupts into cheers, and from the powerful rumble of the
drums coming at you like an out-of-control 18-wheeler to the sweat glistening
on the chest of...
Fuck all that. We're
Boy Hits Car, no bones about it, we'll kick it to you straight. My name
is Scott, I'm the bass player in Boy Hits Car and this is our bio in my
own words:
Louis (guitar), CRegg
(vocals, acoustic 12-string guitar), and I all grew up together from early
childhood. Louis and CRegg were neighbors in the same condo complex and
knew each other since they were mere toddlers wearing diapers. I lived
a mile away so it wasn't until the beginning of elementary school that
my path crossed with theirs.
Looking back now,
it seems fitting that the first time I ever saw CRegg he was singing. A
happy kid with wild blonde hair and a big smile, he was in the schoolyard
belting out that song from THE WIZ, "C'mon and ease on down, ease on down
the road" over and over as he'd run toward the chainlink fence at the edge
of the playground and bounce into it.
