Supernaut
Livid Vol.1
Describing themselves as "full contact rock", Portland, Oregon's Supernaut come out of the gates with a big bang. That big bang, "Livid Vol. 1", is a hard-hitting, pull-no-punches, melody-laden, sing-along collection of modern rock songs that will bring to mind the Ramones, Motorhead, and even Cheap Trick. Supernaut is fronted by Scott Chapin, former front man for The Daylights, a band that earned a devoted following throughout the West Coast before disbanding when members decided to pursue other endeavors. Always writing and recording, Chapin decided it was time to start another band a few years later and enlisted friends Basil (drummer), from the Northwest's most lively, energetic, and infamous band, Sweaty Nipples. Ryan Schmidt (guitar), who played with regional favorites Molly Cliff, The Film, and with Chapin in The Daylights. And So-Cal transplant Mike Lee (bass), who puts a tremendous thump into Supernaut's screaming, sing-along anthems. "Livid Vol. 1" offers up six fierce, no-holds-barred songs about relationships, as well as the general bruises, bumps, and turbulence of life. Here is a debut that channels the biting intensity of hard rock, the soaring hooks of the most memorable pop, and the gutter-grind of punk. On all fronts, Supernaut delivers.
