Jeremy Cottrell and Jason Gantt draw upon their common influences, such as Crowded House and Del Amitri, while incorporating their own style of hooky, melodic songwriting. “We’re not afraid to pop-rock,” says Jason. The band is anchored by drummer Mark Niemiec and bassist Eli Beaird.
Cottrell Gantt spent 2004 in the studio recording their new EP. HERE I GO, produced by Jacquire King, is set for independent release in Spring 2005. The band says songs such as “Here I Go” and “Can’t Catch Me” best demonstrate where they are and how they feel about what they’re doing. “We wanted to make an album that made us feel good when we listened to it, without worrying whether or not it fit into any current trend.” Jeremy adds, “We’ve always tried to go by the rule that if it sounds good and it feels good, it is good.”
