"Really gorgeous stuff from Chapel-Rock - sweet as honey to pounding rap-like riffs"-(Raymond M. Lane, Washington Times) SAM'S HOUSE IS ON FIRE!...with a high energy alternative funk sound that is electrifying audiences everywhere. Guitarist Alan Scott, bassist Steve Sidley and drummer Teddy Ray combine their rock and soul influences to bring jaw-dropping musicianship, booty-shaking grooves, tight harmonies and an undeniably melodic approach to their well-crafted songs. College Music Journal Weekly says, "The band's songs are smart and tight...heaping scoops of soulful rock evoke images of early Red Hot Chili Peppers and Truth and Soul - era Fishbone."
