WHO ARE AMERICAN BANG?
All born and bred in Nashville, TN, the band came together after their other projects didn't work out: Jaren was the drummer of The Kicks, while Neil and Ben were in Llama. In 2005, the friends got together and were ready to make a name for themselves as Bang Bang Bang...
The guys started "playing Nashville rock clubs as Bang Bang Bang, and were packing 300-capacity venues within months of their debut. By the end of 2005, Bang Bang Bang had self-released their debut album, I Shot the King, and within a year they were sharing stages with acts as diverse as O.A.R., Shooter Jennings, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. In 2006, Bang Bang Bang signed a recording deal with Warner Bros Records... The group learned that another band was already recording under the name Bang Bang Bang, and in August 2007 they announced they would now be known as American Bang." - allmusic.com
While the band's fan base is slowly growing, the media is picking up on American Bang with lightning speed. The single "Wild and Young" has been featured in national Verizon Wireless commercials. TONIGHT on ABC's Greek at 8PM the band will have an on-air performance of "Wild and Young" and "Move to the Music."
American Bang had been in California recording and promoting their upcoming work. They are now back in their hometown for some local shows and a little R&R.

WHY YOU SHOULD LOVE AMERICAN BANG, TOO:
***The band's main influences are Tom Petty and the Rolling Stones.
***This is what American rock is all about. Like Donnie and Marie always said, "I'm a little bit country, I'm a little bit rock 'n roll."
***Look at this great merch! The heather grey tee is on an American Apparel 50/50 and feels like it is at least 30-years-old...awesome.
