Movement. Forward motion. Evolution. All of these terms describe what Nashville, Tennessee's Sound&Shape bring to the sonic landscape, an otherwise barren wasteland of overdone, overused and uninspired thoughts and ideas. Sound&Shape is a trio of musicians that might just be the missing piece of the puzzle from Rock Music over the past few years. Their music can be feral and unrelenting at times only to release the tension and carry the listener through beautiful and gentle passages, creating a complete musical journey.
Forged through deep friendship and brotherhood, Sound&Shape have a union and symmetry few musicians are lucky enough to obtain. The incomparable, unshakable rhythm section, comprised of Jerry Pentecost (drums, percussion, backing vocals) and David C. Somerall (bass, backing vocals), keep their invigorating chaos as controlled as a magnificent ocean. Tumultuns at times, yet always returning to it's natural majesty. Riding atop the musical waves, singer/guitarist Ryan Caudle's vocal and guitar work flow perfectly between the two. Ryan's extremely melodious voice soar and dips effortlessly as his guitar playing winds around his bandmates intricate rock orchestrations.
Experiencing Sound&Shapes live is a pure extension of the honest, powerful and passionate music they create. With a distinct ability to encompass and entrance the audience, their live show is an immersion into the hearts and souls of the players. With a tipped hat to the blue-collar work ethics, these foot soldiers of the Rock and Roll Revolution have logged many many miles on the road in support of their debut full length, "Where Machines End Their Lives" (Smithseven Records 2006). With their signing to Engineer Records (Planes Mistaken For Stars, Hot Water Music) and the release of the breathtaking new 5-song EP "The Love Electric" internationally, Sound&Shape plan to mount a campaign of unbridled joy, pure excitement and soul-baring Rock and Roll for many years...and ears to come!
"Raucous and rebellious, Where Machines End Their Lives is a sturdy debut of tightly wound bass-drum-guitar tracks that recall those boomer-rock headbangers yet still manage to breathe new life into the style. Highly recommended."
- Nick Tate/Progression Magazine
"Ecletic power trio and D.I.Y. road warriors Sound&Shape make their myriad opposing influences work, their multi-movement rock deftly shifting from frantic odd-time rhythms to muscular riffs that segue into hazy prog ballads."
- Dave Paulson/All The Rage
Where Machines End Their Lives, "...the best in postmodern classic rock.It's a hybrid that allows Sound and Shape to educate the indie rock scene, while keeping to that scene's base desires."
- Josh Spilker/Southeast Performer
"Sound and Shape have broken the mold. No, they've made the mold. What they do on stage with only three members is incredible. In fact, I call it perfection."
- Travis Morris/Rise Over Run
"Sound & Shape play more than just laid back garage rock songs, they execute more than just your typical 'prog-rock' ditties, literally portraying a new melodic stance within the world of the technical underground rock world."
- Tommy Hash/Ytsejma.com
"Where Machines End Their Lives is not quite a rock opera, but almost - with 11 songs, some divided into suites, that is quite an achievement for any band's debut record."
- Carey Miller/The Clarion Ledger
"There is a dexterous dedication to stretching, sculpting, and exploring song craft, including both time signatures and rhythmic curlicues, that gives a huge nod to the pre-punk days when length was actually required for those heady FM radio nights."
- Left of the dial
"Sound & Shape experiments with all kinds of sounds, and does not fall flat when it comes to their musical range and styling."
- Kristen Snyder/Murfreesboro Pulse
"I firmly believe that Sound & Shape have the talent and the panache to find success wherever they go."
- Jill/NashvilleRock.net
"Sound and Shape is a throwback to the bygone days when good music ruled, before the scene erupted into its chaos of dirty chords and screaming vocals."
- 'Kid' Khalid Almughairy/The Full Value Review
Jerry Pentecost, "Explosive, electric, and oozing energy from every pore."
- Waldo the Squid/Drum Magazine
