Notes
From their base in Fayetteville, Arkansas, indie rock group Wooden Stares has combined a blue collar work ethic with a commanding stage presence to become one of the nation’s most acclaimed up-and-coming acts. The band’s debut album, A Story as Sad as It’s Told, has already been compared to Modest Mouse and the Toadies, and is jam-packed with tracks that ooze musical gravitas. “The album is a psychological roller coaster of exciting melodies,” says Jerry Oliver of the Fayetteville Free Weekly.
The band showcases a quartet of talented musicians – Lance Lamberth, Brad Adams, Andrew Bauman, and Will Jennings. Each one cut his teeth in Arkansas’ growing music scene, and joined forces two years ago to take their combined sound to the national stage. Featuring gut-busting jams, such as “Supposed to Shine,” as well as more ethereal tracks, such as “Dark Circles,” Wooden Stares keeps its audience guessing and continues to push musical boundaries. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette says: “Wooden Stares will remind you of a darker version of the Cult or a harder-rocking My Morning Jacket.”
A Story as Sad as It’s Told represents a labor of love for the band, combining classic guitar tones with original chord changes. Megan Petty, writer for Loose Record says that “Wooden Stares is a potent quartet from an otherwise barren music scene.” Wooden Stares’ sound is moody, driving rock that demands listening. Some songs drive like a bat to the stomach, while others are toned down to melodic ballads with echoes of sadness that displays Lamberth’s tremendous vocal range coupled with his inspirational lyrics.
Yet the band’s talent is not limited to the recording studio. Wooden Stares’ winner-take-all attitude towards its live performances has astonished critics and fans alike. “It was one of the best shows I’ve seen in the last year,” says John C. Stubblefield, bassist for fellow mid south band Lucero. The group has remained true to its grassroots following and consistently leaves the audience begging for more. “I hate it when bands just go through the motions,” says drummer Will Jennings. Luckily for its fans, Wooden Stares never fails to give 100 percent.
The band’s dynamic stage presence is led by Lance Lamberth, who commands the stage with each riff on his guitar. “If the audience pays money to see us, we’re going to give it our all,” he says. His statement explains why Wooden Stares has been so critically acclaimed: the group creates uncompromisingly original music and conveys its message to audiences through breathtaking live performances.
A Story as Sad as It’s Told is a truly original album from an exceptionally talented band. Wooden Stares’ unique sound and commanding stage presence have ensured that this Arkansas-based band is certain to get the national breakthrough it deserves.
