A Wayward Sound Floods the Streets

Energetic. Raw. Powerful. Melodic. Intense. Rock.

　　These are words that have been used to describe Algren, a fresh rock band from

　　Chicago that has burst onto the local music scene with their unique blend of

　　introspective lyrics, searing guitar riffs, grooving rhythms and dynamic

　　songwriting.

　　Algren formed in late 2006 and hit the ground running, quickly building a strong

　　repertoire of alternative/indie rock songs. Known for their inspiringly

　　energetic sets, Algren played gigs at numerous Chicagoland bars and clubs

　　throughout 2007 and 2008, including highlight performances at Double Door, Cubby

　　Bear, Elbo Room, and the Downers Grove Heritage Fest. The band is quickly

　　building up a devoted fan base with the help of various media outlets, such as

　　Q101, 97.9 The Loop, Fearless Radio, the Red Eye, Rock Chicago on CANTV-19, and

　　The Local Tourist. Algren is also a member of Chicago Noise Machine, the

　　consortium of local bands that also includes A Birdsong Valentine, Bullet Called

　　Life, Echoson, Heavy the Fall, Lucid Ground, Reverie, 72 Hours, and Simplistic

　　Urge.

　　All four members are dedicated and driven musicians, performers, and promoters

　　looking to make a name for themselves in the regional and national market while

　　performing the music they love. The group just finished recording their first

　　full-length album, "A Wayward Sound Floods the Streets," and will release it in

　　early May 2009
