Father Smash and The Revival is a preacher-driven music experience, led by the enigmatic Father Smash and his band of funky gentlemen. Their sound blends elements of Rock, Funk and Soul music, influenced by the artists of year's past and appreciated by audiences today. Hard-driving riffs, infectious melodies, booming vocals and an energetic stage show provide the ingredients of the FS&R's musical experience.
Since forming in Summer of 2014, FS&R has relentlessly written, recorded and gigged, - garnering new fans and establishing their presence in the regional music scene. After playing shows in Cincinnati, Nashville, Louisville and several small towns in between, FS&R became a regional mainstay, growing a loyal fan base in the process. As demand for their stage show grew, the band released a demo in early 2015, quickly earning them regular spots on Class X radio and WNKU.
Their songs "Hellfire Woman" and "Writing on the Wall" were often featured in each station’s rotation, earning the band CincyMusic.com's download of the week in August of 2016. As the band continued developing their sound, they returned the studio in October 2016. FS&R recorded their upcoming EP at Ultrasuede Studios, under the guidance of John Curley of the Afghan Whigs. After finishing recording, the band sent their music to be mixed and mastered at studio in Austin, Texas. Their debut EP is set for release in the Spring of 2017.
2017 is set to be a big year for the FS&R. The band already has shows scheduled in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana to support their EP over the next several months. New venues will provide the platform for Father Smash, donned in robe, sash and signature sunglasses, to preach his message of life, love and rock & roll.
FS&R started the year off strong as the #1 local band on CincyMusic.com. The band plans to capitalize on their early success to get their music and show, converting lost sheep into followers in the Rock Flock. #PraiseRock
