8 KOunt is a hard-driving modern rock band that has scored international attention in Metal Edge, Hit Parader, Concrete Corner and Fuse television.
If you think about the legends of rock: bands like Zeppelin, Aerosmith, U2, NIN: all very different bands with one commonality a passion for what they believe in and the ability to make you believe in whatever it is they’re selling. Ohio’s 8 KOunt is no different. They want you to believe in them, their music, and their ability to deliver the goods every time they take the stage. If their debut CD release is any indication, sign me up.
Their latest release, Getaway Car delivers solid songwriting and an ample supply of both rock and pop sensibilities. Even a casual listen to songs like Ashes to Ashes, Fight and Getaway Car and you get the sense that this band is going places: to rock radio, to music television, and if you’re lucky, to a venue in your zip code. The band has already shared the stage with the likes of Shinedown, Red, Day of Fire, 7 Mary 3, Hurt, Course of Nature, Madina Lake and Tantric; proving their live bona fides in front of screaming audiences.
"Once the band hit the stage, it was Rock and Roll at it's best! 8KOunt is the BEST Rock band in Cincinnati. Hands down. They will take you on a Rock and Roll ride from beginning to end. The energy and talent of this band cannot be denied. They are the tightest band that I have heard in years... Perfection!”
“If you aren't rockin' out in your car to an 8KOunt CD, you should be! This is the band that is going to make it. They have everything that the music industry needs right now, and I know that they will kick a** in your town soon!”
