LI's VOXhound Wins 'Bandslam' Contest, Rocks Our Morning

bandslam.jpg

WPIX held a contest for one lucky band to receive the opportunity to perform live on the PIX Morning News show. You voted and VOXhound won the spot! They came to the studio and performed "Changes" off their album Another Victim.

VOXhound is John Ruddy, Adam Dunn, Charlie Grimm, Frank Scheno and Lou Mancuso. This native Long Island band was formed in 2004 and they describe their music as "modern, driven rock that will saturate your ears' needs for a sonorous thrill-ride! Tight, punchy rhythms brilliantly complement an array of colorful melodies. [...] Each song energetically radiates themes of pain, love and longing desire." They cite Audioslave, Led Zeppelin, Velvet Revolver and Guns N' Roses as some of their major influences.

VOXhound recently won the 2009 NYPD Battle of the Bands, a competition which pitted seven bands against each other for a shot at stardom, while raising money for the NYPD Widow's and Children's Fund. The band's winning song was their interpretation of "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel.

VOXhound is working on their second album. For more information on VOXhound, visit www.myspace.com/VOXhound.
