"Exactly what Modern Rock radio needs!"
Jack DeVoss - CD101
"We’re not playing The Follow because they’re
a Regional band. For us, it’s because their music
stands up to all of the Major Label music coming
across my desk." Ruth Choate - KNSX
"Power Pop tends to be an overused term to describe many bands, but with their mix of excellent melodies, great songwriting, guitar driven hooks and great bass lines, The Follow fit the description." Simon Rose - KBXR
The Follow have played venues from Colorado to New York. The band has recently shared stages with Zwan (ft. Billy Corgan), Gravity Kills, gODHEAD, & Pigface. Their music is sometimes compared to that of U2, Pink Floyd, Radiohead & Stone Temple Pilots. The band feels that their music is a blend of those bands along with R.E.M., The Church, The Cult, The Cure, Peter Gabriel, Simple Minds, Tears for Fears, Coldplay, Remy Zero, and more.
