“There is no peace for the wicked” –God Defying gods and expectations in equal measure are Lexington, KY-based southern power pop-rockers Wicked Peace. , Wicked Peace draws from a range of influences as seemingly disparate as the band members themselves to create a singular sound that hints at their Appalachian roots without being beholden to them. The group is just as at home unplugged in an intimate folky setting letting their natural harmonies fly as they are in a boozy nightclub cranked to 11 letting their instruments do their persuading. College is a natural breeding ground for many unsavory things, but for Wicked Peace, all that was spreading was creative synchronicity. In 2013, frontman Tanner Blevins and guitarist Patrick Brumback shared a Morehead State dorm room hallway and musical dreams, and their combined ambitions birthed the band in earnest. With Tanner’s older sister/songwriter Amanda and drummer Logan Fields on board, the band quickly self-released 2014’s charmingly-DIY debut Conclusions, featuring personal, scornful laments of love lost, softened only by the abundant loose, acousti-pop catchiness at play that would become their template moving forward. Cutting their teeth with their earliest live gigs, they followed this up with 2015’s self-effacingly titled Growing Pain, which found their sound and focus sharpening as their ambitions grew (sometimes faster than they could afford). “There WAS no peace for the wicked, but man, what a record! I was wrong.” –God, again
