The Players: Damion Ross, lead vocals; Matti Jade, lead guitar; Damii Leroy, bass; Vinny Brando, drums.

A.M. Obscene is a current blend of Buckcherry and Mötley Crüe with a dash of Lenny Kravitz. A.M.’s powerful and driving guitar riffs over hook infested choruses display front man Damion Ross’s vocal ability in songs like “4am Hollywood” and “Can’t Slow Down”. The band shines as all four members sing in “Freak Show” and “Control” driving their message loud into the audience. A.M. Obscene’s sound is appealing for radio and demonstrates enough pop to crank-it-up.

Damion Ross exhibits a strong yet soulful vocal style while lead guitarist Matti Jade’s rock riffs flow from pounding verses and epic choruses to well-timed solos. Bassist Damii Leroy and drummer Vinny Brando combine to provide a solid foundation for A.M. Obscene’s songs to build in to a modern version of classic Sunset Strip rock.

A.M. Obscene is not lacking in showmanship, with four musicians all presenting their own flare on their respective instruments. A singer with stage presence reminiscent of Scott Weiland, a drummer that fills time by twirling his drumsticks in to cymbal hits, a bassist that plays with authority and a lead guitarist that solos behind his head and manages to catch every note.

A.M. Obscene is a band that knows who they are and the audience they are looking to find. The band has excellent stage presence and musicianship while writing radio-friendly rock anthems that echo in your head long after the show. They can be found playing shows all around Los Angeles and more specifically, the Sunset Strip.
