At the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, amongst the mobile homes, mail pouch barns, and satellite dishes lies Athens, Ohio. 175 miles south of Akron and 135 miles east of Dayton, caught somewhere between the notions of the mid-west and the heartland but with a soul that's closer to Austin, another city that's an oasis for modern creative folks, Athens, Ohio is an offbeat and curious little town. For Southeast Engine, it's home.
The band, with singer/guitarist Adam Remnant and drummer/percussionist Leo DeLuca at its core, have been kicking around Athens for years, making records and releasing them DIY or through friends, opening any decent show that comes through town (which lead to a friendship with the Wrens, which led them to us and us to them). The locals just call 'em The Engine. They're somehow at the heart of Athens. At the heart of Southeast Engine is the voice of Adam Remnant, a young, married middle school teacher who's just lost his job. But don't worry about Adam. He's written one of the best records in years.
Southeast Engine’s newest album “A Wheel Within A Wheel” is available from Misra Records.
