Take That Road - Sampler Take That Road - Sampler
Take That Road introduces you to a young woman, on her own, against the odds, and searching for the answers to question burning in her mind. It’s a question we all ask: how do we become our own person when it’s so easy to become someone else?
Numb - Sampler Numb - Sampler
Numb is about being betrayed. It’s about truly falling in love and putting your faith in someone you thought you knew, only to find out they were not who they appeared to be.
Down - Sampler Down - Sampler
At the heart of this song is the question of forgiveness. What does he do when he knows he gave his best, only to see her give her worst? Look inside, time to choose, So hard to forgive.
Disturbed, but HopefulBand/artist history
When Steven Cox met bassist Scotty B. and drummer Enrique Platas, they were an unlikely group to form a band. The singers Midwestern gospel roots were far-flung from the bassists inner-city groove and the drummers Latin experience.
But Cox was not fazed. He was looking for top-quality musicians, and their distinctive sounds caught his attention. Likewise, Scotty B. and Platas were intrigued by the music the three formed even in their first sessions. Across the Room was born.
The bands job, says Cox, is to make people question and to make them feel. Throughout San Diego, thats just what Across the Room has done for its rapidly-growing fan base. Says one woman who saw them at Canes: I feel a connection with this group. They sing the thoughts I wish I could say.
Their songs have been described as "Disturbed, but Hopeful". The songs speak of true life relationships, current political issues, disappointment, and sometimes hope. In the song Walls, for example, Cox sings: Ive been trying to feel my feeling, to drop the shield and let you come inside. Dont walk away before the walls fall down. Dont run away before I find my ground. In another, Cox sings: Hold up your protest signs while your brothers give their lives, speaking obviously of the current military action overseas.
In addition to playing top San Diego venues such as Qualcomm Stadium, Canes, The Cannibal Bar, and Hard Rock, the first Saturday of every month, Across the Room showcases other Artists at Café Crema in Pacific Beach, lending some of their stage time to other San Diego up-and-coming artists. The idea is to unite Artists and create a musical community thats stronger and more enjoyable for both musicians and listeners.
Their debut self-titled CD was released in October 03 and has been receiving great reviews. Live shows are booked and on the calendar at this web site. Dont miss the experience that is Across the Room.Have you performed in front of an audience?We play out all the time and love it. It's our way of communicating.
