BETTER OFF BOUND
BETTER OFF BOUND is a Greensboro, NC-based hard rock band. With influences ranging from Led Zeppelin, Tool, Black Label Society and Radiohead, BOB is a eclectic mix of hard rock groove music...with lyrics that actually have a meaning!
With the release of last year's 3 song demo, the band was not satisfied with a mere glimpse at the band. So, in January of 2004, BETTER OFF BOUND entered their "studio" (their rehearsal room armed with a TASCAM Portastudio) and hammered out their debut CD with DISSENT RECORDS, "Just Forgotten". CHock full of high-octane guita rriffs, emotional lyrics and big fuckin' grooves, "Just Forgotten" is proof that 2004 is a year to be BETTER OFF BOUND!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Formed from the ashes of several local bands, BETTER OFF BOUND takes the hard rock guitar sound of Kevin Hemphill, the ocean sized grooves laid down by drummer Rob Wojnar and bassist Matt Asbury and adds the highly political, deeply intense, introspective lyrics of Benji Hebner to give the listener a smack in the head that they never forget!
