Sounds Like - Rock 'N' Roll.. A Little more Rock than Roll
Taddy Porter is Andy Brewer, Doug Jones, Kevin Jones and Joe Selby. Four young men, southern by birth,
with a habit of rocking outright. The brothers Jones command a rhythmic Abrahams, devastating all in its path, steady on its brooding course,
leaving a wrecked wake where the war was waged. All the while, Brewer and Selby man the cannons hurling shell after screeching shell of audio
assault. Brewer howls familiar with all the pains and medals that lie typically in the tones of men with triple his years. His words describe
scenes you’ve known before in ways which still ring fresh. Selby invades every ear hole in the room with a brute force and welcomed trauma that
stays with a crowd well after he’s done with them. This is Taddy Porter. Bred out of Stillwater, holding you at gunpoint and commanding that you
shake your ass.

"Monocle is classic 1970's FM radio fun with just a hint of modern edge to it. You could plug these guys into a music festival with classic and
arena rock bands and they'd be right at home".

I find the beauty of Taddy Porter to be the blending of elements. The band is obviously grounded in
blues and classic rock like Cream, Zeppelin and Bad Company, but there's also more than enough swagger and attitude to keep the band engaged in
the current music scene, appealing to fans of everyone from The Black Crowes and Kings of Leon to The Black Keys and Radio Moscow.

Some say hindsight is 20/20. If that holds true, Taddy Porter has got a perfect vision of what 70's
influenced rock and roll should sound like. I've got a couple LPs from that era that I quickly toss in favor of this Oklahoma quartet's
compositions. Taddy Porter is bringing Southern rock back to the forefront of American music. Don't miss out on this one..

"Audiences won’t find two tracks with more hum-ability than “Voodoo Johnny” and “From the 9’s,” both
of which take joy in slowly laying out their cards. But make no mistake: beneath the catchy licks and polished persona, there’s blood, grit,
sweat, and a whole lot more (whiskey, maybe) in the music of Monocle. Thus, it’s a win-win situation for anyone who gets to experience the
soon-to-be-big Taddy Porter: there’s a little bit of everything, and it’s all good".
