Poppermost
Bio
Poppermost is a retro alternative rock trio based in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA and was chosen by Las Vegas Weekly's 2003 Music Issue, as one of "Our picks for the best bands." Since then, they have amassed numerous awards and accolades for their music and skills as seasoned musicians.
Their current project, a second full-length CD entitled Absolutely Sonic, was released on October 9, 2004. It is a muscular collection of high voltage, catchy rock songs about "living life on your terms." Highly infused with snarling guitars, infectious rhythms, clever lyrics, and classic '70's FM rock spirit, this sonic journey to "absolute rock and roll heart" is not for the faint of heart. Poppermost is touring local and regional clubs to promote the new album. LV Weekly compared Absolutely Sonic to Oasis, Jet, and The Hives with the songs being "catchy, infectious good times." Dee Chapman from the UK based internet radio station, Radio Gets Wild says Absolutely Sonic is "absolutely brilliant."
The album represents the next phase in the band's career. Poppermost started out as a duo on July 4, 2001, when singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Alex Oliver and bassist/audio-graphics guru Roy Al Rendahl freed themselves from a garage band experience headed in a direction that conflicted with their own goals. One year later, in July 2002, Alex and Roy released their self-titled debut full-length CD that concentrated mostly on the acoustic side of the rock and pop genres. It quickly became a regional must-have for fans of indie pop/rock music, getting airplay on local commercial radio while earning great reviews from the press and fans.
Getting back to their more aggressive rock roots, they later released the single, "Erika," on "CD-45" in November 2003. As great as it was, the music was still missing the live drums they wanted. Finally, after two years of trial and error finding the right fit to supplement the duo, drummer Phil Kaz joined them in early 2003 to round out the group. Poppermost has become one of the most requested and sought-after bands in Las Vegas by working hard to get themselves noticed in a "one fan at a time" manner while staying true to their musical and ethical ideals.
Poppermost is determined to win the hearts of their fans as the band continues to increase their radio and internet presence. As Jarret Keene of LV' s CityLife says, "Can’t stop Poppermost!" No matter where the journey takes them, Poppermost is working to make their own significant mark on rock 'n' roll history.
