Artist Information
Biography
The noise has one mission and one mission only: to get you out of your seat for an ass-shaking, head bobbing, house rocking good time.
The band employs a mixture of up-tempo danceable beats, driving guitars and infectious melody. No matter what sound you are into, this band will touch upon it, all while maintaining the energy and drive that has come to define the noise's live experience.
The group has played with such acts as The Mooney Suzuki and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, been featured in art shows and even had one of their Videos air on SC Educational television.
Some influences include
the hives
eagles of death metal

and way too many other to list without eating up your time.
