Hailing from our nation’s capital, The Engine Room is a young band on the forefront of original, classicist rock ‘n’ roll. Drummer Jay Nemeyer, guitarist Miles Eichner, and bassist David Gassmann provide an instrumental backdrop that combines the tight camaraderie and interplay of an R&B show band with the joyous abandon of punks at the top of their game. Over this, Tara Davis sings soaring melodies and weaves tales of optimism and inspiration, unique characters and wide-open spaces. Altogether, they produce a sound that is rootsy and soulful without being beholden to any one genre; catchy and accessible but still idiosyncratic, multifaceted, and deeply personal. With a firm grasp on rock’s traditions, the band manages to explore new ground in the familiar territory of guitar-based, melodic rock ‘n’ roll. They have just finished recording a new EP (title TBD) and are looking forward to a bright, deafening future.
Also, they did not write the theme from “Nip/Tuck.”

Whenever I work with Dave he can't stop continuously bitching about how his copy of "Step up to the Streets 2" still hasn't come in. Tell the man to chill out!!
I went to grade school with your bass player.. I'm liking your music and hopefully i'll be able to make it out to Rock n Roll Hotel... Is there a cover?
hey, great songs. are you guys going to have any gigs open in the later part of summer? we are just getting serious and are trying to find gigs with local bands.
If you like bluesy garage ROCK AND ROLL...

Two new songs up, "Till You Hurt Like Me" and "All the Way", check them out and spread the word.
Sup engine room!!! this is jon the bassest from the cherry flavored elevator!! woohoo!!! we should totally get a show with us to play, like we were at the red parrot! dat would be da shit. sup jay! neways you guys keep rockin out, and we will too!
Hey that would be awesome! It'd be great to see you... our sound has definitely changed since back at the Grog, we'd love for you to check us out. And it'd be good to see you. Maybe we can figure out some future shows?
I really dig the EP. It captures you all really well. I liked your old stuff a lot and I think this is even better at really capturing what you're all about. It's really diverse but there's a great overarching theme holding it all together. I'd like one of those fancy copies with art, etc. when you've got it done. Well done!
