SELBY

Selby's resolve to accomplish something less routine and generic has yielded them an ardent fan base and a sobering niche where vintage sound meets modern rock. Frontman Bahnz states,

"We're after art that's smart, reminiscent of the modern rock/pop favorites, but with an emotion packed atmosphere that takes you somewhere unexpected."

Selby's arrangements and hooks will take hearers back to The Beatles and early U2, but it's a bit darker and more aggressive. The guitar driven melodies accompanied by acute lyrics place their music somewhere between the arena style of U2, and the modern rock of the Foo Fighters. Over the last five years frontman, singer/songwriter Bahnz has toured most of fifty states and much of Europe backing other bands, and has resided in Nashville as a session player.

Selby has opened for national acts including Lifehouse, Ryan Cabrera, Filter, Uncle Kracker, and Rehab. The Miami Music Festival chose Selby out 300+ bands to represent the festival with a live performance on NBC Miami, and headlined at Miami's premiere venue, Tobacco Road.

Commercial demand has sought Selby out, validating their artistic direction, marketability, and a place in the emerging music scene. Golf Channel's "Destination Golf" and Hard Rock Hotel have recently used Selby's 'Under My Skin' as a title track, and have utilized 15+ more Selby tracks for other programming. Selby's press has been stirred lately by a featured article on SacriliciousMarketing.com, which dubbed them '...the band to watch'. Selby will be in the studio writing and recording in the first quarter of 2012.

Tony Michaelides (Record Premotor for U2, Matchbox 20, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie) states of Selby,

"I'm fascinated by rock n roll, it's in my blood, it always has been. Most of the time when I hear something I like I go and see them live and there's something lacking. Suddenly the music doesn't sound the same, it doesn't connect and I lose interest. And other times it just works. I love to see a band with a born leader, a person who commands your attention, someone you stay glued to when they perform. You watch the others but you're always drawn back to them. You smile and it makes it all worthwhile. I still love rock 'n roll and I love Bahnz Selby, he makes me smile. He has charisma, he has talent and he has me watching. Today when enough is plenty, Bahnz Selby has more than enough."
