Artist History Formed in early '97, bonded by an unapologetic love for power, volume and bombastic,screaming rock music, the Spreaders managed to remain almost completely ignored in their hometown of Chicago, while bands playing Dave Matthews covers pack clubs on a nightly basis. Not only have they resisted the urge to go on a killing spree, these four very reasonable young men have managed to release two rocking CDs.

Group Members Brothers Joe and James Fossett handle twin Les Paul duties, while bassist Joel Hatje and drummer Tim Lydon power the engine room. Everybody sings.

Instruments Two guitars, bass, drums and lots of smoke and sweat.

Press Reviews Unable to garner any substantial press coverage themselves, the Spreaders enjoy reading lengthy articles about other bands and trying not to cry.
