专辑简介

Founded by former members of hardcore/punk band, the Vice Dolls, and an ex-member of punk quartet, Decimation, Roberta Sparrow does not fade in light of past accomplishments. Hailing from an indie- rock saturated scene in their hometown of Champaign, IL, Roberta Sparrow has thrived since its conception in 2004 without the benefit of an established hardcore scene. They are currently the only touring hardcore band from Champaign-Urbana. The bands blend of hardcore, punk, and metal and DIY work ethic has kept the spirit of Midwest Hardcore alive. When the trio was faced with the daunting task of finding a drummer lead vocalist Greg Jaeger stepped up. In the vien of UnderOATH and Atreyu, Jaeger takes it one step further in the role as lead vocalist; He preforms without the benefit of a frontman to shoulder some of the vocal leg-work all while blasting away at breakneck speeds behind the drums. Bassist Cody Pruitt and Guitarist Justin Scoffield blend thier distinctive styles and voices to create a unique combination that defines Roberta Sparrow's original sound. Their furious style, heartfelt lyrics and massive presence has created a noteworthy buzz in their hometown and beyond.
