AWARDED 'BEST UP AND COMING LOCAL BAND' IN THE 2002 'BEST OF NASHVILLE' EDITION OF HIGHLY ACCLAIMED NEWSPAPER 'THE NASHVILLE SCENE.' Proving that there is a growing current of killer music that ISN'T country coming out of Music City, Nashville-based pop/soul act 'Groove Addiction' is poised to explode onto the national scene with their powerful debut independent release '...For All Intent & Purposes.' The 6-piece band recently unleashed their electrifying and innovative debut in Nashville and it's creating a huge regional buzz.
A combination of deft songwriting, strong hooks, stellar musicianship and thick harmonies, the ten songs on '..For All Intent & Purposes' combine a wide range of various influences into a genre-bending blend of pop, funk, rock and soul that is difficult to define but impossible to resist. (Combine elements of Dave Matthews, Prince, Sugar Ray, Steely Dan & Jamiroquai and you're in the ballpark). Band's writers J.J. Benson & Steven Maldonado also awarded 'Best Non-Label Songwriter Not Yet Signed' by The Nashville Scene. Already a favorite at colleges throughout the Southeast, Groove Addiction's debut CD proves that the band is certain to be at the forefront of a much-needed movement to restore real instruments, meaningful lyrics, and serious groove into the musical lexicon.
