The Nobs are a three piece R&R band from Sudbury who write odes to wild love and wilder parties. Unabashedly Northern, many of their songs celebrate life in Sudbury,Ontario. Musically, they draw on rock from the 70's but have a feel for punk and classic metal. The line up has remained the same for over 11 years: Rob Straughan on drums, Chris "Pepper" Peplinski on bass and Kevin Closs on guitar and vocals. The sound is raw and stripped down, the songs short and to the point. Their first CD was a little bit of everything and contained the hit "Bushparty", an unforgettable anthem to good times in the North. Their 2nd release with the supermega-hit "S.L.A.G." focused more on hard rock but with nods to power-pop and punk. All but one of the ten songs clock in at three minutes or under without a whiff of pretension. Live, the Nobs have appeared at Canada Music Week, North X Northeast, Bluesfest, swanky theatres, high schools and many,many (too many) clubs. They have received regular airplay on classic rock stn. Q92, the CBC, college airwaves across the country, and a film credit to boot!...they have a devoted following.
