Born of the ashes of Baltimore punk-influenced, political rockers The Soma Solution, Savory James formed with the intention of placing the focus on cathartis.
Boiling down the complicated structures of their previous band, Rob and Chris got back to what matters the most to them, making music that they, themselves, can let go to. Continously molting and evolving, the band has added Fletcher Smith, of genre-defying bands Jumping Off Point and Other Moments of Grace and The Same Damn Thing.
Based on the tumultuous psyche of a world too rotten for the 'nice guys,' Savory James invites the listener into the continuously coping and molting mind of someone trying to escape the world that doesn't care that he cares too much.
Neurosis, catharsis, healing, and near-misses for bliss and self-destruction pour over noisy guitars, haunting melodies, and destructive drums that bring the spectacle of self-sadism and uber-masochism to life. Public soul-cleansing, self-exorcism.
The songs included are part of the band's first full length LP, "The Surgeon," formally released July 28th, 2007.
"They're pretty sweet. Savory James plays power pop/punk rock.no.punk rock/angry folk/indie power pop rock.no.music.yeah that's the one. Think Superdrag meets White Stripes meets The Clash meets.um.Savory James.it's a solid showing of energized and emotional rock.They have the emotion, grit, and enough pop sensibility to attract a wide audience. Next up.world domination, of course."
-Laurent, Pasta Primavera
"Gentlemen with a heart for the sweat beneath the music."
-Mark Redding, lead singer of The Shackeltons
"Elvis Costello and the Attractions without the keys. I think it was all the happy bouncy bits."
- Billy Jack Mast - ex. MisEuphoria, Not Quite Tipsy
