9:30-10:00 – THE OBVIOUS
With our last two EP’s recorded by The Bouncing Souls Pete Steinkopf at Little Eden Studios in Asbury Park, NJ, The Obvious brand a signature sound that combines the best elements of early 90’s Alternative and Late 70’s Punk, with the twist of our own unique perspective binding these two classic genres. A must for any music fan who champions visceral experience and sing-along, gravel-slinging, true Rock and Roll.
“The Obvious are on FIRE” ~ Pete Steinkopf of The Bouncing Souls, Chief Engineeer and Producer on The Obvious’ debut EP, Bringing Wreck, Maybe She’s Bored With It.
“She’s like a female Kurt Cobain” ~ Dan Ridenour of Chemtrail
“Bringing Wreck is a precarious downhill
delight filled with a savage self-awareness
from a band that knows how to manipulate
pound for pound sound. Boisterous, while at
the same time commercially viable, Bringing
Wreck is a traditionally aimed punk record that
is heading down the right musical path.”
-Jon Pfeiffer, The Aquarian
“We awaken something ancient
in our fans, its like a revivalist tent meeting
feel and they pitch that energy right back at
us in a way that only true rock and roll can
accomplish.” ~ Angie Sugrim
The Obvious auspiciously formed when bassist Mike Smith and drummer Rob Blake got to talking to lead section Surojanie (Angie) Sugrim and Dan Astorri after meeting in jail late one night in Midtown Manhattan in early 2009. The two sets of friends had been hauled into the police station for separate arrests (coincidentally for the same offense). Dan asked Mike for a lighter. Next thing you know, our sex was on fire.
