A band that is trying to take rock back to the days when it truly rocked. Ranging vocals, with strong guitar riffs and proud solos, and an energetic live performance that earns stage presence from that "I know what I'm doing" coolness that you just don't get from a bunny hop or the newly typical locked-out elbows with a guitar at my knees stance - that's what Social Contraband brings to the table.

Together for the past three years, Social Contraband has quickly gained respect and been accredited as having a strong "big rock" sound with a definite raw edge. The band's members have all grown up in and around the town of Hickory, NC (about an hour west of Charlotte) but have been told more than once that their sound is too "big" for such a small town.
