Erica Sellers met Angela Lese in Louisville, KY in 2011 to form CatFight. After gaining notoriety, the girls moved to Nashville in 2012 and 2013, where they formed another band called The Dead Deads with three other girls in the Fall of 2013.  Having recently left the DDs, Erica and Angie have gone back to their roots, morphing their love for old school rock 'n roll and dance music into one, creating Taco Mouth (formerly CatFight). The music is produced by the master himself, Michael Wagener (Dokken, Metallica, Skid Row, etc.). Our new 5-song EP "W.G.A.F." will be out February 23rd, with plans to record a full-length album this summer with Wagener.

With the unlikely home base of Nashville, Tennessee, one might wonder just how Dark Hound managed to achieve a heavy metal sound that seems so distinct and distant from the country music heroes spun off of Music Row. "Though we live in the capital of Country music, Nashville really is Music City, USA. There is such a rich and diverse musical community in this town, you don't have to go too far off Broadway to escape the honky-tonks filled with tourists in boots and cowboy hats and find amazingly talented musicians from all walks of life playing all sorts of great music. I think where we're from is an important factor as to why we don't sound like your typical modern-day metal group", says ET Brown, vocalist and bassist of the decidedly different Nashville act. Formed in 2009, Dark Hound is comprised of ET Brown, Josh Brown (Enfold Darkness, Nashvillbilly) and Evan Hensley (Nightfall). Both the band and their sound were forged out of mutual friendship and respect for the musicianship and song-craft that define top-tier heavy metal music. “We’ve all been friends for years”, says guitarists Evan Hensley. “Something special happens when you create music with people you have a real history with – it’s just very natural. I think it’s also safe to say that we’d all love to help put Nashville on the map for metal!” With a finely-tuned focus and a rock-solid debut record, Dark Hound is poised to become the bright star to watch as it peaks from Nashville's horizon.
