Enter Contest
The band has been compared to
Blur, Pearl Jam, REM, The Stone Roses, Alice In Chains, Freddy Mercury, The Yardbirds, The Beatles, The Smiths, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin and
The Doors. They've been labeled "New Classic Rock" and "New Americana", the next band from the American heartland, and the "American Oasis". But as critics and listeners struggle to make comparisons, what they are hearing is this:
Philpot.
Philpot first gained attention opening for
Travis Meeks and
Days of the New after meeting that band at a church benefit.
Robert Evanoff, SVP of Artist Relations and Development for Toucan Cove fought hard for the band against labels including Virgin and Atlantic. "I was immediately interested in them upon hearing their story. From a small Midwestern town and 100 songs penned before anyone turned 20? After seeing them play a four-hour show, without a set list (and playing the first hour in the dark) at the Oodle Inn (outside of Dugger), I was truly blown away! This band is one that only comes along every once in a great while - one that has the potential to follow in hallowed rock and roll footsteps."
