Syrup. The word itself evokes images of sweetness, but the band that bears the name rouse any sugary fantasies to incomparable aural and visual heights with a thick and sticky blend of southern ghetto-fried boogie steeped in bad ass backwoods rock'n'roll.

Hailin' from the rolling hills and spring-fed swimming' holes of Tallahassee, Florida, Syrup has rocked full houses in hotspots such as Austin, New Orleans, Atlanta, Nashville, New York City and Tampa.

Even with a relentless touring schedule, in the winter of 2000, Syrup found time to record a self-titles album in Athens, Ga., with David Barbe of Chase Park Transduction Studios. Though never officially released, Syrup made the rounds among underground rock fanatics before finally finding a home at Feedback Symphony Music. Every track on Syrup reflects the band's original style, a phenomenon drawn from a cauldron of epic influences - Exile-era Stones to early ZZ Top and Skynyrd, from Gram Parsons to Grand Funk, from punk rock to funk rock. Syrup mixes it all together in its own unique way to keep the tradition of hard southern soul alive and well.
