Them Evils saw their plans for 2020 crumble as COVID-19 took the world by storm, but not even a global pandemic can stop these rockers from making their name known.
Critics love to question whether or not rock music is dead. “It’s too safe,” some say, while others questions if there are any ideas the genre has yet to explore. We believe rock is very much alive, but the best bands working today are just getting started in their careers. Them Evils is a perfect example of a game-changing group that is working just outside the mainstream consciousness, but with a little luck and a return for live music, this band could take the planet by surprise in no time at all.
But in early 2020, a new problem emerged. The spread of coronavirus brought live music to a halt, which forced up and coming bands like Them Evils off the road just as their career was starting to take off. The group’s plans for the year began to crumble before their eyes, but Them Evils were determined to keep going. The group took a step back to rethink and plan a new approach to gaining recognition, and they’re now putting those thoughts to action.
“Where Ya Gonna Crash Tonight,” the new single from Them Evils, brings to mind the brash and rebellious sound of early-2000s rock acts such as Jet and The Vines. It’s a whirlwind of extravagance and bad decisions filtered through a raw rock sound that is intended to be played loud during summer road trips.
On this episode of Inside Music, host James Shotwell chats with Jordan Griffin of fast-rising rock band Them Evils. Jordan tells James how the spread of COVID-19 complicated his group’s plans for 2020, and how finding himself in a corner forced him to get creative in new and exciting ways.
