“We accept every rejection within the tight slope of ideas,” says Matthew Wascovich, 3:AM editor and frontman of Cleveland-based music group, Scarcity Of Tanks. Wascovich founded SOT during the summer of 2004 after stints in a bunch of unheard-of Cleveland bands. Scarcity Of Tanks have toured throughout the U.S. and released two acclaimed records for Total Life Society (Cleveland, USA) and Textile (Paris, FR).
They claim to be “anti-heroes with no message”. “We exist so that you don’t have to. We create rock music playing the form as we play the form — and that’s by our own rules. Distortion. Bass and drums that make you move. Guitars that make you feel sick or alive. Vocals that you cannot relate to most of the time. This would partially describe the SOT experience; a living response,” says Wascovich. The current line-up features top notch Clevelanders: Andrew Klimeyk, Jeff Deasy, Theodore Wiggs, Null Flynn The Younger, and Brent Gemmill.
Their new album, Sensational Grade, is out on May 1st.
