On their Reverbnation page, "Buying Trouble," https://www.reverbnation.com/buyingtrouble a young hard rock band from Chicago claim that they play so loud that they have hearing damage and they play so hard that they bleed sometimes. And that they play with so much emotion that the stage usually isn't big enough. "We freak out to promote freedom. And we hate hip hop. Long live Hard Loud Rock N' Roll!"
This seems to be the creed of band members Derek Vaden, Mike Dooley and Andy Modaff. Patty and I met the band and their parents when they came down to Bowling Green to attend the Starry Nights Music + Arts Festival at the end of September. They are big fans of Bowling Green's indie rock bands "Cage The Elephant" and "Sleeper Agent." They were really nice kids and their parents were super nice people too. We really enjoyed meeting them when we all had a late lunch at Cheddar's Restaurant in Bowling Green. The band autographed an EP which they gave to our son, Tony Smith who is the lead song writer and guitar player as well as a singer for Sleeper Agent, a copy of their EP called "Ok, Whatever" They also autographed it for Alex Kandel, lead singer for Sleeper Agent.
A couple of weeks ago, Tony and I listened to the EP on the way to the store. We listened to three hard rock pounding songs on the EP called, "Shakin'," "Christian Ears & Atheist Tongues" and "Novel America." Tony said that the band "is really good and they need to keep at it." I thought that they sounded like a combination of the classic rock bands "Kiss," "Rush" and "The Black Crows" and that they have a lot of potential for the future. With much practice and persistence, I think they might have a chance of getting a record deal one day. Please check out this young rock band. Who knows, one day in the future, you may be seeing them on MTV, VH1 and other music video channels. And you might one day be able to purchase their music at your local record store as well as from other other internet stores such as Amazon.com, eBay, iTunes and MP3.

Biography
Buying Trouble is a three piece rock band, hell bent on rocking your brains out. Mike Dooleys full, loud, metal inspired drum beats, routinely resulting in blood, lay out an industrial foundation for the heavy, gut rocking, shell shock of Andy Modaffs blistering bass lines. Derek Vaden screams and wails over it all, and so does his guitar, while trying to thrash around like a shark or something in an attempt to hurt himself. Together their covers, originals, and the occasional one-off songs they improvise on the spot, are a full on assault of the temporal lobe. They just released a 3 song EP and will be recording more soon so enjoy it. Or tell us we suck this is America so it's ok.Description
