BIO -
In 2003, Two Cow Garage--the Columbus, Ohio-based three-piece featuring Micah Schnabel
(vocals, guitar), Shane Sweeney (bass, vocals), and David Murphy (drums)--released their
debut full-length, 0Please Turn the Gas Back On. The powerful rhythm and sweeping melody
of the records opening track, Been So Long, has since given rise to four additional fulllength
releases, a handful of singles, and a few solo efforts. The band has paraded their brand
of heart-wrenching, yet ferocious rock-n-roll, which calls to mind Nirvana, The Men, and
Dinosaur, Jr. through countless North American tours as well as several European sojourns.
Two Cow Garages 2010 release, Sweet Saint Me, not only garnered airplay on WXPN's World
Café where it was showcased as a featured artist selection, but also found its way onto many
critics best-of lists. The band has performed at numerous festivals including SXSW, CMJ, The
Fest, Pouzza, and has toured with acts like The Hold Steady, Drag the River, Slobberbone, and
Glossary.
September of 2013 will mark the release of TCGs sixth studio album, The Death of the SelfPreservation
Society. Anchored by the title track, as well as My Friend Adam, the record
showcases the songwriting crafts of both frontman, Micah Schnabel, and bassist, Shane
Sweeney. Recorded inside a 100 year-old barn in Eden, NY at HI/LO Studios, The Death of the
Self-Preservation Society was produced by TCG and features a handful of guests, including
members of Lansing, MIs Cheap Girls. Opening with the guitar and drum storm that composes
Little Prince and Johnny Toxic, the entire album is propelled by the line, no one makes it
out alive. The band effectively and expertly channels its desperate, full-on stage presence
within the confines of the releases 12 tracks. The Death of the Self-Preservation Society
pauses momentarily in the slow-burn reverb of Mantle in 56, where Schnabel claims to
dream in punchlines and sweet tragedies. It recoils quickly into a swirl of sonic landscape
that gives both power and persona to the notion that we are the only ones who can forgive
ourselves. Hard-fought and short-lived, this forgiveness is fueled by the fact that--as the
title track states--the house is on fire. Thundering bass riffs, distorted guitars, and crisp
drum tracks work nicely with a penchant for multi-instrumentalism that makes space for
nicely-timed trumpet flourishes and well-situated piano and organ tones. This release proves
to further the arc of the bands development and blur the lines between rock, Americana, and
punk.
As one of the most consistently-touring indie bands today, TCG continues to captivate
audiences with live shows that serve up manic stage energy, gritty chord changes, and subtle
lyric-mindedness. The bands intense, fiery persona conjures authentic tunes that would be as
at home in a Raymond Carver story as they are on a car stereo in the dead heat of an August,
midwestern night.
