Bible Belt Sinners
If you're looking for a traditional rock band with a sweet female vocal, keep looking.

Bible Belt Sinners have never been typical. Bringing to the table the raw power of a growling blues vocal with all the grittiness of a punk rock band, BBS combines influences for an original sound. The drummer of BBS, Grotto Kozieja, plays standing up, and makes it look easy. One of the best dressed members of the band, he serves as a second front man and often ends a song from three feet in the air. Front Woman Miss Molly Simms joined the band in 2010, after her local win of the River Front Time's "Best Female Vocalist". Aside from her powerhouse vocals, Molly plays clean warm tone lead licks, reminiscent of her roots in blues music.

Doghouse bass player Johnny Murdock hails from Dallas, Texas, and his love of country music is evident in the band's original songs. The muddy, distorted and sometimes twangy lead guitar of Andrew Bono has been said to make the band sound larger than it actually is, creating a smoke in mirror effect where you can hear horns and harmonicas that aren't there. Opening for Chuck Berry in 2010, BBS has been enjoying radio and television spots and a loyal and growing fan base of thousands.

The Sinners have taken stages across the USA, from LA to Alabama, playing to audiences ranging from 6 people to thousands. (Like the Big Muddy Blues Festival which has reached 60,000 in previous years)

Original tunes are of course the band's focus, with most songs being co-written by the entire group, and some songs written solely by Ms. Simms. BBS has a new album due out before 2014.
