The Sound of Urchin

Since the release of their first EP in 2000, and through 2002’s You Are The Best , The Sound of Urchin have been hell-bent with their goal of total world domination. The band has toured incessantly, gathering a rabid cult following that will travel anywhere to get their "Urchin F* cking Rock" fix, and will trade anything to get cd copies of live Urchin shows. SOU has also toured with a diverse group of artists like Tenacious D, Ween , North Mississippi Allstars , Mike Watt, Cracker, Cobra Verde, and The Ziggens . “We even went out on the Deep Purple, Dio and Scorpions tour,” says lead singer/drummer Tomato. “To have Ronnie James Dio come up and tell us to ‘keep the rock n’ roll flame going’ was just insane. We had beers with Dio ! That was huge!” Now comes the release of The Sound of Urchin’s ambitious and extremely ass-kicking new album, The Diamond due out in April on Hybrid Recordings. “This is the big rock record we’ve always wanted to make,” Tomato enthuses. “ The Diamond is a totally new phase for the band. There’s still the Urchin vibe and diversity, but our main objective for the album was to make a very focused record, capturing the energy and passion of our live show and the duel lead guitar attack of B-ill and Seahag .”
