SOUTH OF EDEN
South of Eden (formerly Black Coffee) are: Ehab Omran [lead vocals, acoustic guitar], Justin Young [lead guitar, vocals], Tom McCullough [drums], and Nick Frantianne [bass]. The Columbus, OH quartet have already performed alongside everyone from the Foo Fighters to System of a Down, and invite you to join them on their journey of looking at rock ‘n’ roll through a modern lens.
“We want to open up the doors for rock in the modern era,” exclaims Ehab. “We want to sound the way we hear rock in our heads—vintage with a sprinkle of today. We try to give listeners the feeling of discovering the genre for the first time. We think now is the moment to be a rock band.”
The above quote truly speaks to what the Rock My Soul playlist is all about; opening up doors for new rock that pays homage to the classics. After including their work as Black Coffee and now with their new music under a new name, it was about TIME to make South of Eden the stars of Rock My Soul.
This year under Republic Records, the band released The Talk EP as well as The Talk Sessions featuring acoustic and studio performances. South of Eden took the bold move to cover Audioslave’s ‘Show Me How To Live’ and received a stamp of approval from Tom Morello himself.
