Showin' Tell

Take the raw, guitar edge of late ‘70s British punk, add soulful female vocals and infuse the mix with the electrifying spirit of the current arena rock revival and you’ve got Showin’ Tell, a modern rock trio combining irresistible hooks with smoldering lyrics, an eye-catching look and flamboyant live performances. Like the beloved grade school activity that inspired its name, Showin’ Tell’s music is about sharing the fun and excitement of discovering something new. The band’s latest release, a three-song EP, SnT was released in March 2007, joining their eight-song debut CD, Tuesday Afternoon (2006), and a 2004 EP, Adoration. All deliver a potent brew of original tunes featuring Jeska’s powerhouse Joplin-esque vocals, and the rhythmic complexity of Nicolino’s double bass drumming. Influenced by a range of artists from Kiss to Joan Jett to Lenny Kravitz, they blend heavy drumming, melodic vocals and driving riffs. It’s easy to see why producer Jason Rubal (Nicki Jaine, Amanda from Dresden Dolls) calls Showin’ Tell “The Next Generation of Rock.”
