Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Blame It On Cain formed in the outskirts of Milwaukee in January 2007. The all-original quartet's straight-forward hard rock and pop songs have been compared to acts like Stone Temple Pilots and The Smithereens.
The band cut it's 'live' musical teeth playing opening slots for local favorites Fadeback, but really caught attention during an acoustic gig with Brian Vander Ark of the Verve Pipe, during summer 2007. 'Cain' even sat in on a couple of songs with the multi-platinum selling artist.
BIOC released two singles on the Australian-based mp3.com.au in the fall of 2007. The song, "Yesterday's Happy", peaked at #16 on the Top 100 Pop & Rock Track charts. That same week, 'Cain' reached #12 on the Top 100 Pop & Rock Artist charts. Also, "Yesterday's Happy" was picked for inclusion on a CD sampler, that appeared with the debut issue of the nationally-circulated, "Sex, Drugs, and Rock And Roll" magazine.
Original members, Sam Boettcher (vocals) and Steve Draganchuk (guitar) recently recruited bass player Greg Gibbs and drummer Al Sumner to join 'Cain'. The foursome will wrap up 2007 playing local shows before a planned trip into the studio to record a full-length CD in early 2008.
