The Romans are a four piece indie rock band hailing from Atlanta GA. Their music combines elements of dark new wave, 80's pop, and alternative music. Lush atmospheric soundscapes engulf haunted plaintive vocals all while serving as a backdrop for extremely philosophical lyrics dealing with loss, self realization, melancholy, brokeness and infinite joy. This ability to move effortlessly from dark to light and loud to soft within a set or on an album is what sets them apart from other bands within their genre.
The band initially began as a three piece featuring Aaron Whitehouse on bass and vocals, Ryan Clevenger on drums, and Zevi on guitar. In a span of about 3 months, they put together a demo which grabbed the attention of Atlanta based producer John Rosser who offered to produce their debut EP. As a result, the EP SAMO was made. Through this successful collaboration of producing/writing with the band, Rosser was invited to join officially, and he accepted the offer. They have been welcomed into the Atlanta music scene with positive reviews. Recently they have received an offer to record a full length album with Dean Roland (Collective Soul) and Atlanta based producer Ryan Potesta, which is scheduled to commence in August 2011...

Forging a harmonious blend of opposites, Siberia My Sweet is an Atlanta based group exemplifying the sound of post-punk and new wave. Jonathan Williams at Creative Loafing Atlanta pegs the band as a ‘singer/songwriter-ish, electro rock, all-girl trio.’
By mixing keyboard ambiance with indie rock guitars, a sound is created that hops the cusp of major and minor, dance and drone. A strong 80s’ influence has brought Siberia My Sweet comparisons to bands like Blondie and Missing Persons. They take historic cues from New Order and Tears for Fears, and modern ones from groups like The Organ, CSS and Interpol.
Formed by frontwoman Kelly Andrews in the fall of 2005, Siberia My Sweet saw the addition of Luci Harrell (guitar) in 2006 and Erin Sellers (keys) in 2008. In 2010 Alec Yeager entered the live show, adding acoustic drums to the mix.
