Add Algren's Music Player To Your Website

Energetic. Raw. Powerful. Melodic. Intense. Rock.

These are words that have been used to describe Algren, a fresh rock band from Chicago that has burst onto the local music scene with their unique blend of introspective lyrics, searing guitar riffs, grooving rhythms and dynamic songwriting.

Algren hit the ground running, quickly building a repertoire of songs that are difficult to label into one specific genre. Known for their inspiringly energetic sets, Algren has played gigs at numerous Chicagoland bars and clubs throughout 2007 and 2008, including highlight performances at Double Door, Cubby Bear, Elbo Room, and Martyr’s. The band is quickly building up a devoted fan base with the help of various media outlets, such as Fearless Radio, the Red Eye, Rock Chicago on CANTV-19, The Local Tourist, and 97.9 The Loop which featured Algren’s “Bled” on Erin Carman’s Local Music Monday program. Algren is a member of Chicago Noise Machine, the coalition of local bands that also includes A Birdsong Valentine, Bullet Called Life, Echoson, Lucid Ground, Reverie, 72 Hours, Simplistic Urge, and Heavy the Fall.

All four members are dedicated and driven musicians, performers, and promoters looking to make a name for themselves in the regional and national market while performing the music they love. The group just finished recording their first full-length album, "A Wayward Sound Floods the Streets," and will release it in early May 2009 along with an accompanying graphic novel that expands on the themes of the music. More information about the album can be found at www.waywardsound.com.
