Originally from rural Charleston, WV, the guys in American Minor relocated to the college town of Champaign, IL, around 2002. The young quintet made a quick impression locally with its blend of stinging hard rock, old Faces records, and shades of blues and Southern rock, and soon a buzz was afoot. Eventually Rob McCutcheon (vocals), Bud Carroll (guitar), Bruno (bass), Josh Knox (drums), and Josh Gragg (guitar) hooked up with David Lowery, who helped them record a demo. ~South by Southwest followed in 2004, and American Minor caught the ear of ex-Blind Melon members Christopher Thorn and Brad Smith, who brought the band to Jive Records.
