1220 bring echos of the seventies style of rock, but with a good dose of their own swaggering style. With the rock-solid rhythm section of Bill Van Vleet and Michael Cover anchoring the twin guitar attack of Nick Kurtz and Ricky Dover, Jr. this band has the power to back up vocalist Jacob Gibson's soaring vocal lines. Take the unpredictability of early Aerosmith, and mix a little bit of Led Zeppelin and T. Rex, and add a little Motley spice, and you've got a band that sounds a bit like 1220. ...
1220 bring echos of the seventies style of rock, but with a good dose of their own swaggering style. With the rock-solid rhythm section of Bill Van Vleet and Michael Cover anchoring the twin guitar attack of Nick Kurtz and Ricky Dover, Jr. this band has the power to back up vocalist Jacob Gibson's soaring vocal lines. Take the unpredictability of early Aerosmith, and mix a little bit of Led Zeppelin and T. Rex, and add a little Motley spice, and you've got a band that sounds a bit like 1220. Formed in Knoxville in 2001, the band released a their first self-titled CD in 2005. After going through a lineup change in 2006, the band recorded their latest E.P. "Miss Legendary," with former Superdrag drummer turned recording uber-god Don Coffey, Jr. at the controls. With every show, in every city, 1220 keeps turning heads with their infectious high-energy shows. Once you see the band live, you'll never forget it. And there's no better time than now.
