This band is straight up, unabashed, rock and roll. Not that pansy shit that earns pretty boys millions of dollars on television, but the kind that you want playing when you enter a bar, already drunk, looking for either a fight or a fuck. Or both. The riffs are hard and heavy and full of fire baby; The T’s know just how you like it. Matt Ryan, Earfarm.com, September, 2008
The first thing you need to know about The T's is this: They are ROCK.
They're not this kind of rock or that kind of rock. They are just fist-pumping, chorus-screaming, guitar-blistering rock. The kind that channels the best hooks from a variety of influences: Cheap Trick, The Donnas, T Rex, Blue Oyster Cult , Thin Lizzy and The Cult. The kind that would sound equally awesome from the speakers of a souped-up Trans Am, or a pair of massive old Koss headphones. The kind that you need to pop in your CD player right now in order to hear to believe.
The second thing you need to know about the T's is this: They're ready to take over, and their debut CD, Capital T (Doublenaught Records), is their ammunition. They've already conquered the thriving Raleigh, N.C., scene in an incredibly short time; their first show was a last-minute set at local watering hole Slim's in July, 2006.
Produced by Dave Bartholomew (Tres Chicas, Terry Anderson & the Olympic Ass-Kicking Team) and the band, Capital T roars out of the starting gate with "Buy My Tape," with a pounding guitar Stephen Gardner's desperate cry: "When I see you again, will we still be friends? See you again, when I see you!" Andy Kerr, who knows his way around a blistering guitar solo, takes over vocal duties for pop gems "Big Girl Pants" and "Goin' Nowhere." Meanwhile, rock-solid rhythm team Gary Poole (drums) and Lutie Cain (bass) keep that racecar humming along, with Lutie getting in her own bratty vocal jabs on "How It's Done." But the song that sums up The T's has to be "Make Me Pretty," a menacing, swaggering, sexy rocker that pounds like a hammer on the back of your skull. Just before Andy lets loose with another fleet-fingered guitar onslaught, Stephen yells, "But! She likes to rock!"
She must be listening to The T's.
