Straight up, balls-out, meaningful, unapologetic ROCK & ROLL!!!
Take the explosive live stage show of Velvet Revolver and Motley Crue, add the eternal rock/anthemic appeal of Pearl Jam and U2, and throw in the raw, emotional intensity of the Foo Fighters for good measure. Now throw 5 passionate, non-prototypical rock musicians into the musical blender and what do you get? The next stage in musical evolution - TheSpeaks.
A young, talented, and charismatic five-piece band from the Washington, DC area are dominating the mid-atlantic area music scene and are completely redefining the global image of rock music today. Much like Jimi Hendrix, Living Color, Sevendust and Hootie and the Blowfish (admit it, when you first heard their music, you thought Hootie was a white dude!) have all changed the face of rock -- and Eminem and The Beastie Boys have changed the face of rap -- TheSpeaks are opening people minds and broaden people's horizons with their driving, emotion-filled music in a unique, unprecedented package. In a changing new world where music seems to be erasing any existing racial boundaries, TheSpeaks -- with several members who are American-born, but of Asian heritage -- are poised to further prove that music is, indeed, the one true universal language.
"I came across The Speaks unexpectedly and I was blown away by the band's music. They have the unique ability to make all their songs sound like an anthem that every listener can connect to -they sound like what rock music should sound like." -- Greg Roche, Music Director and on air personality, DC101
Review of "This is the Time": A handful of kick-ass tracks from DC’s own kick-ass (and 2007 On Tap band of the month) The Speaks. Starts from the soaring “Carpe Diem” and continues from there. “Regret” is a highlight, as is “Fallen Angel.” We all knew these guys were talented. Here, they just go and prove it. Robert Fulton (Managing Editor, OnTap Magazine)
"If you haven't heard of The Speaks, we hope you're not calling yourself a true Indie rocker. This five-pice band of DC youths have been redefining the alternative rock sound and garnering lots of attention while doing it. Known for explosive live shows, rock anthem ballads, and raw, intense lyrics, The Speaks are the type of band you'll like if you miss how the Foo Fighters used to sound." -- Music X-Press Magazine
"In the age of shoe gazers and too cool of the room alt. bands, its refreshing to see a band that brings the songs you hear recorded to a higher level in performance. The Speaks are the true sense of a what a band is supposed to be....different characters all assembled by a common music thread and that thread has one hell of a groove. DC 101 loves the Speaks!" -- Joe Bevilacqua, Program Director DC 101
"TheSpeaks give us commanding rock with a grunge edge. "Solitary" has all the power of Pearl Jam, but without the whining"-- Washington Post
She Said- "Multiple explosions of sound and raspy vocals are a winning combination for TheSpeaks. You'll be hitting replay on this one"-- Washington Post
"The band's anthemic tunes and sheer energy have earned them a rabid fanbase that packs the house wherever they go. It's been a long time since I've seen a rock band draw as well as TheSpeaks -- they're definitely headed for bigger things"-- Jeferey Jones (OnTap Magazine)
On our site we get to hear many great independent bands. TheSpeaks are by far one of the best. They have an exciting, infectious and progressive sound. In fact, our staff has unofficially voted them most likely to succeed.-- Jonathan Boutelle (House of Gigs)
