   About wicked messengers
The Wicked Messengers are a bit greater than the sum of their parts. This might have to do with the band members having played virtually every conceivable style out there at one time or another. Featuring a great mix of originals and carefully-selected faves by other artists, the Wicked Messengers put a touch of twang along with healthy doses of rock, r&b and brit-infused pop to make it distinctly their own. Playing in venues in and around New York City the band has become a favorite for a devoted following of music lovers from Hipsters based in Brooklyn to Hillbilly's hailin' from Jersey , and everywhere in between. They have two albums out ; "Headtwanger's Ball" and the brand new release," Livin' Fast."
