Bio
The Words from Los Angeles are the answer to everything dull, generic, and manufactured in rock and roll today. Lauded by Rolling Stone magazine as replacing "thick neck rock with Brit-rock," lead singer/songwriter Jeremy Morgan heads up The Words, who draw comparisons to the Who, the Stones, the Kinks, and the Creation. Pairing melodic and powerful songwriting with explosive and inspired live performances, the Words are like nothing else that's out there right now... The Words are here to save rock and roll.
The Words formed in early 2004, when New York transplant Jeremy Morgan met Michigan native Johnny Cooloti in a Los Angeles bar. The two bonded instantly over a love of the Nuggets Box Set ond The MC5s ferocity. Shortly after the meeting, initial songs were worked out acoustically at Jeremys place. The search for a rhythm section came to an end when like-minded bassist Ryan Leach came to the fold via answering an ad, bringing along with him fellow Greg Cartwright/Mick Collins nut Rob Hu on the drums. Shows began shortly thereafter, highlighted by two nights at New Yorks Galapagos and Pianos, and multiple nights at LAs Spaceland, Silverlake Lounge, Troubadour. The band is looking forward to pressing their 45 and playing as much as possible.
