Self-Released [2009]
Fire Drill Review:
The Medders are a band of three brothers (Cheyenne, Carson, Will) and piano player Joshua Stauter, that have just released their self-titled debut record. The album is a solid slice of roots rock and Americana, which is a product of being raised by musical parents that exposed them consistently to Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Elton John and Johnny Horton. The Medders passion for music emotes track after track and their straightforward sound still holds surprises, like in the building orchestrated closing of "Bee Free Honey". The band sounds well beyond their debut, which could be from the helpful oversight they received from Robin Eaton (Spinto Band) and Lij Shaw (Autumn Defense), while all the mixing was done by lead singer and songwriter Cheyenne Medders, who just so happens to have a day job as a sound engineer. The Medders debut is an album that gets better with every spin and definitely puts them on the list of new bands to keep an eye on!
