Artist History
Conceived as a result of a couple of songs written on a computer, bass, guitar and caffiene, guitarist Chuck Davis (Circus of the Sun), drummer Dave Becknell (Circus of the Sun) and bassist Matt Parmenter (piano w/ Hi-Fi and the Roadburners) were soon joined by guitarist Sean Saatkamp (of Kid Valance) and vocalist/guitarist John Lancaster (of Chum).
Bringing influences from a wide variety of stylistic backgrounds, Semi-Automatic has melded their diverse influences into a coherent whole and created a debut release that any national act would be proud of.
With a live show that consistently blows audiences away, Semi-Automatic has quickly found a sizeable group of fans locally and regionally. As they expand to new areas, Semi-Automatic is finding an audience that's eager to hear more of their top-notch performances and intense songwriting in action. |

Press Reviews
Larry Nager of the Cincinnati Enquirer calls Semi-Automatic "one of the best new bands on the scene".
Mike Breen of Cincinnati CityBeat says, "if you're into well-played, song-based Hard Rock, you can't do much better" and "it's easy to imagine nearly any of the memorable tracks on their debut being played on current Rock radio (though their songwriting is far smarter than your average Creed-y band)" |
