Ill
Gotten Gains -digi-
Ill is a three-piece American rock band based in Atlanta, Georgia. They started playing together in 2005 as part of a well-established Atlanta band that signed to Universal Records in 2007. The members of ill, Damion Goodpaster (Synth, Piano, and Vocals), Marlon Patton (Drums), and Ryan Waters (Guitar and Vocals) describe their sound as, "Big blues riffs done with a punk attitude and very much rooted in soul. To us, the lines of classification between Ray Charles and Black Sabbath are very blurry". Their recordings have drawn comparisons to such bands as Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age, Kings X and Stone Temple Pilots while the live show was described by one reviewer as "...a stripped down, Hendrix-inspired blues guitar power trio with the sonic ambition of Nine Inch Nails". ill is looking forward to promoting, Gotten Gains with live shows throughout 2012.
