Compared to: Maroon 5, Switchfoot, Seal, & Chicago.
Their infectious energy, catchy hooks, and incredible
sound combine to make them one of the most entertaining
bands around.
Rhythm, a Dallas-based pop/funk
band, has become known for creating music marked
by a collage of creative and unique musical
components. The band’s blend of
styles, paired with a vibrant and energetic
presence on and off stage, always leaves the
listener wanting to hear more.
Rhythm’s reputation
is marked by their integrity, positive attitude,
and tight musicianship--making them a highly
sought-after band. Their unique sound
includes horns that echo Chicago,
guitars that embrace Jimmy Eat
World, and vocals that reflect Seal. Their
show jolts the listener into an electrifying
experience throughout the invigorating, non-stop,
action-filled performance, as often demonstrated
by The Black-Eyed Peas.
Having started out over a decade ago, Rhythm has
evolved into an international-touring, award-winning
band. In the beginning, their initial expectation
was to be signed within five years, but that
wasn’t the case. Amidst stolen vehicles,
record labels collapsing, and personnel changes
(as well as personal changes), their
hope for success was minimizing. However,
through perseverance, hard work, and an attitude
of contentment, they were able to ride the wind
and weather the storm.
And now ten years later, Rhythm finally unveils
their highly- anticipated national debut album, The
Forward Concept, (Executive Music
Group/Lightyear Entertainment).
The Forward Concept chronicles a journey from discouragement
to redemption. According to front man Reggie Scott, “The key is
having a positive attitude of perseverance, meaning that we continue on even
when we don’t feel like it.” He continues, "Often, when
we’re surrounded by the problems of the day, it is difficult to remember
that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.”
And that light at the end of the tunnel is reflected
on the many songs on The Forward
Concept.
“On the Verge,” the thematic core of the album, deals
with teetering on the edge of a new day, eager to shirk the struggles of the
past and embrace the fulfillment of the future.
With a throbbing beat that dares listeners to
refrain from swaying, “Surrounded” is
a plea for friends to pull us up when we're about
to fall into something we would regret.
The radio-friendly “Moment in Your
Life” mourns a moment
of missed opportunity, while relishing the thought
of a second chance.
"Beautiful World," an upbeat ballad with smooth horns, is
Rhythm's first "real love song," and celebrates life with the one
you love.
It’s evident that each song on Rhythm’s The
Forward Concept is written from
personal experience and testifies to the personal
dedication and perseverance of each member.
“These songs definitely reveal how we all felt as though we were on the
brink of a change,” says Scott.
Rhythm is comprised of lead singer/keyboardist Reggie Scott,
bass guitarist Drew (Droo) D'Anna, and lead guitarist Eric Bowman, as well
as Tim (Tymm?) Scott on trombone and Tim (Mace) Macon on the drums.
