Details:
This established Boston-based original five-piece has made its name performing progressive and classic rock informed originals that resonate with familiarity, but impress with fiery solos, military tightness, and creative melodies.

Medina Sod's sound has drawn comparisons to Phish, Wilco, and Tom Petty, and is defined as much by the stylistic breadth of the songs as by the technical proficiency of the players. With imaginative, thought-provoking lyrics, and down-to-earth personalities, the band is able to build a strong connection with audiences at every show.

Offstage, the professionalism of the bands wins over fans as well; club managers, bookers, and bartenders agree this band is a pleasure to deal with, and fans enjoy how easily they are able to connect with the band through its first-rate website and myspace page.

The buzz is building around Medina Sod's 2007 CD "Trace Back the Lines" which has received airplay on WBCN-Boston, garnered numerous awards on websites such as garageband.com, and earned positive reviews in magazines such as The Noise and Wormtown.org.
