Bio - taken from [1]

The drive to make and perform memorable pop music is a walk of faith and intoxication across a thin beam over a pit of nightmares. In this case a songwriter, Dennis Sheridan, competes to be heard over the drunken voices of his peers. Quietly, a phenomenon grows outside of the music itself as three friends, Andy Hurt soon followed by Bill Green and Angela Skimmerhorn, join in with no agenda other than their shared love of good song. This collective force, combined with the soul of Louisville, KY, gave birth to the experience that is Follow the Train.

Several elements/influences come together to create the music of Follow the Train. Most notably and most often noted, are REM, The Church, The Flaming Lips and The Cure. The drums are delivered with solid precision, the bass is driving and powerful, and the keys provide a beautiful and comfortable atmosphere that swims through the thick, sparkling guitar as the vocals rise and fall with the tides of sound.

The band's 7-song Ep, "The Great Disturbance (2004, Debauchery Records)," was recorded over the course of three full nights plus a few additional hours for final touches. Kevin Ratterman (Louisville Producer/Recordist extraordinaire, Elliott drummer) did the entire recording in his studio located in one of the family funeral homes. The Ep's first single, "Wake Up" has enjoyed a flattering amount of play on local public radio….But this feels like a beginning. Follow the Train have taken their first steps across the thin beam, hoping to elude the nightmares and infiltrate your memory.
