Hard rock needs a little danger these days.
For too long, the reckless abandon that defined and invigorated the genre at its outset
has softly faded. Enter American Sin. The Cincinnati quartet—John Bobinger [vocals],
Samuel Morelock [guitar], Marcus Barber [guitar, vocals], and Jake Wire
[bass]—infuse raw attitude into chantable hooks with just the right amount of metallic
proficiency and a personal style that could easily be likened to a rock ‘n’ roll G-Eazy
complete with denim, leather, and slicked back hair. The four band mates initially made
a name for themselves as successful Ohio favorites Come The Dawn. However, 2017
sees American Sin confidently step into the spotlight with their forthcoming full-length
album for Sumerian Records.
“In my opinion, American Sin is what we always wanted to do from the get-go,” exclaims
Samuel. “We definitely have that metal bone, but we really love rock music at the same
time. It’s something that we’ve been passionate about pursuing, and it finally came to
fruition. We wanted to come out with a relatable and powerful active rock sound that still
has some of that heavier DNA.”
Throughout 2016, the boys began recording what became their debut in Ohio. Samuel
personally oversaw production, while they enlisted the mixing talents of Alan Hessler
[Avenged Sevenfold, Asking Alexandria]. Evoking influences ranging from Breaking
Benjamin and Three Days Grace to Five Finger Death Punch, the songs showcase a
new energy for the musicians.
