If anyone thought mainstream rock went out of style, they haven't heard Whiskey Sin. Their goal is simple: take a stand against manufactured sound of pop-punk and angst-ridden emo, and bring back the intensity and musicianship that is missing in today's music. How do they plan on doing this? With influences like Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Led Zeppelin. Reviewers of their debut album "suggest cranking up the volume full blast to enjoy all of its thundering guitar rock sound your ears (and neighbors) can possibly handle. This 13-track album is full of intense, head banging music..." Whiskey Sin's blend of edgy, hook-laden rock has been captivating Chicago audiences for 6 years, including opening for Taproot. They are currently working on their second album with plans to release it in mid-2013. "Whiskey Sin's performance literally set the stage on fire with excitement. This was raw sound pulsating through the monitors...the kind which kept this reviewer excited for more."
