The Main Street Gospel is a Columbus, Ohio trio who mix psych-infused classic rock with dusty country vibes and<br />
dirt-stained blues. The band was born in 2005, when Barry Dean – former tambourine shaker for The Brian<br />
Jonestown Massacre – began writing songs with longtime friend Ryan “Tito” Ida. Adam Scoppa joined the band<br />
on drums the following year. Dean grew up around music, as his grandfather was a touring and recording guitarist<br />
for acts like Roy Rogers & The Sons Of The Pioneers and the Georgia Crackers. It’s safe to say that passion for<br />
country music was passed on to his grandson. Tito grew up listening to Hank Williams and Bob Dylan and also<br />
paved his musical path early on. Scoppa takes his back beat cues from vintage Chicago blues and '60s garage.<br />
Together, the band has a strong sense of understanding and respect for the true roots of rock n’ roll. Their sound<br />
recalls elements of folk giants The Byrds and Neil Young, while at the same time retaining the modern aesthetics<br />
of revivalists like Spacemen 3 and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. To date, The Main Street Gospel have played<br />
several shows with like-minded bands such as Dead Meadow, Hopewell, Floorian and fellow Ohioans Buffalo Killers.<br />
In early 2008, the trio mobilized themselves to Akron Analog Studio in Akron, Ohio to record what would become<br />
the band’s first 7" single. "All Your Love Is Gone" b/w "Who Shot You Down" was recorded and engineered by the<br />
Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, whose influence certainly resonates. While the songs are decidedly stripped-down in<br />
essence, they still manage to accomplish a big, layered sonic delivery. The Main Street Gospel's debut album<br />
Love Will Have Her Revenge is 11 tracks of cool, driving rock n' roll and is sure to please bluesy alternative country,<br />
classic rock and psych fans.
