"I tend to live my life in phases in that I night spend a couple months at home with my guitar and PS3 and then spend a couple months out and about hittin my favorite bars and venues. After a long sabbatical from the night life I’ve been out and about lately rollin in the fast lane. A couple of weeks ago I walked into the 34 O-Bar and that little spot was jumpin! The entire bar packed elbow to a**hole with a rockin band in the back jammin a cover of “Tool’s, Sober”. To be honest that was the first time that I had ever heard a band attempt that song and actually pull it off. I found a seat at the bar and listened for while. Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Seether, Black Stone Cherry, Alice in Chains, Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, and a few originals that really got my attention. Finally! A local band that does what I love. Who are they? “Sober by Sunday” or SXS." - 102.5 Kiss FM
“You guys were fantastic! We appreciate the support Goodluck and take care. Hope to see you again soon.” - Taproot
“Everybody knows how much I love metal the harder and faster the better! But when it comes to cut throat rock and roll in our local scene Sober By Sunday has got it figured out. You may have seen them open for Jackyl on Driver’s birthday. Or you could have caught them at Taproot. Either way this is a band you dont want to miss. I love me some kickin’ rock and roll. I def would to see these guys throw down again - Rooster 94.5 FMX

Bio
We are gritty cutting edge rock band from Lubbock with influences that range from ZZ-Top and Ted Nugent to Nirvana and Alice in Chains. There is something unique about the chemistry of this band. I can see it in the eyes of the people that have been to our shows.
With a 6 song Ep under our belt and opening gigs for Jackyl, Taproot, 10 years,Hurt, Jackyl and Black Stone Cherry,and a 12 song cd soon to be released, 2014 will be a big year for us.
In 2008 ,Leroy and Chad Chestnutt had begun playing as an acoustic duo playing bars in Lubbock. There was no denying the natural chemistry and song writing potential,so Tobin Noble was added to the line up as a drummer and back up singer. The band was named What Is Written and recorded a 3 song EP that year. The band was short lived as personel conflicts sidelined the project. Tobin and Leroy continued and added Zack Cruz as the new drummer and Ben Delgado on Bass. The band is named Sober By Sunday. After 6 months the band is put on hold as Ben graduates TTU and moves to Houston. The band searches for a replacement with no luck. Tobin and Leroy decide to use the down time to go into the studio to record as the search for a bassist continues. Sean Frankhouser, a long time friend of Leroy and then the bassist for Bugs Henderson and the Shuffle Kings, is asked to record on the cd. Thus, completing the line up .
