A young, talented, and charismatic five-piece band from the Washington DC area,The Speaks are completely redefining the global image of rock music - shatteringstereotypes, making believers out of naysayers, destroying everything in theirpath, and acquiring legions of new fans every single step along the way.

If you had to try and characterize these “rockstars-in-training”take the explosive live stage show of Velvet Revolver, add the eternalrock/anthemic appeal of Pearl Jam, and throw in the raw & emotional lyricalintensity of the Foo Fighters for good measure.

Much like Jimi Hendrix, Living Color, Sevendust and Hootie and the Blowfish(c’mon admit it, when you first heard their music, you thought Hootie was awhite dude!) have all changed the face of rock – and Eminem and The BeastieBoys have changed the face of rap – The Speaks are opening people’s minds andbroaden peoples’ horizons with their driving, emotion-filled music in a unique,unprecedented package.
