Artist History ROOTED in the genres of country, punk, and alternative, and WATERED in a downpour of heavy metal attitude, Rexway is sprouting to stand among the big trees in this musically cloned society. Unique in their approach and appearance, this band is opening the doors for a new breed of sound...cross Charlie Daniels and AC/DC and you might come close, smash Johnny Cash into Motley Crue and you might come even closer. With their high-energy live shows, guitar-driven metal licks, and melodic choruses that'll stick in your head long after show is over, Rexway is poised on the launch pad... Founded in the spring of 1999 by vocalist Mike Mitchell, guitarist Skot Lain, and guitarist Chris Dockter, Rexway was born. With their appreciation of "Stadium Rock" and a tried-and-true grasp on their Wyoming country music roots, this trio set out to create something beyond the typical genres we see in music today. After snatching up accomplished drummer Craig Dubin from the bowels of the musical education industry, they launched a search for the perfect bassist... Susan Phelan was just the fit. Her seductive look, her musical talent (reminiscent of Les Claypool), her stage presence and performance... Rexway was complete. Following the distribution of their self-produced "County 10" CD in 2001, Rexway spread like a hot summer wildfire. Word-of-mouth fueled what would become an absolutely rabid fan-base across the Midwest...after scores of packed shows and features on two international x-sport videos currently being distributed by Fox Racing, the band was ready for the next big step- HBO Reverb. It was in July of 2001, at Alice Cooper's "Cooperstown" Bar in Denver...HBO Reverb recorded Rexway's scorching 45-minute performance, as Billboard live witnessed. Billboard Live was looking for "something spectacular", and they got it. The news of their performance laid the path for an assortment of fan-crazed shows throughout Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming and Nebraska. People came from as far away as California and South Dakota to catch their Las Vegas performance at the "Boston"! Their opening slots for national acts have included Tesla, Firehouse, and The Amazing Crowns...as either an opener or a headliner; Rexway continues to burn up every stage they hit. Spectrum Magazine compared their attraction of new fans to a "food truck in a famine". They have been nominated as the Best Hard Rock Band in Colorado, by the Westword 2002 Music Showcase (voting to be concluded June 18th 2002)- and were voted "Most Likely to Succeed" by Denver area voters in GoGo Magazine, another Colorado publication. Currently working on their second full-length CD, with constant live appearances throughout the Rocky Mountain region- this band is unstoppable. Continuously on the rise, Rexway is causing a stir in the music scene unlike anything since the explosion of the "grunge" movement with Nirvana in Seattle. The band is now seeking professional management and a major label support for distribution and national touring. With the proper backing and management support, Rexway has the potential not only to make it to the top, but also to stay there as groundbreaking kings of the hill...long after other bands have come to mimic their sound, style, and originality!"

Press Reviews Most Likely to Succeed: REXWAY Lots of people try to label Rexway's music. Some try very hard. With a lot of hyphens, we could call it country-punk-metal-psychobilly-rock music. But that really doesn't do it justice. Rexway's three original members hail from our good ol' neighbor to the north, Wyoming. And they are not afraid to show it, use it, and bring it up on stage. In a musical and cultural atmosphere where appearing slick, shiny, and completely devoid of originality seems to be the norm, Rexway ignites the stale air and forces fire down your throat. In the past year, with the addition of magnetic bassist Susan Phelan and drummer Craig Dubin, the band's energy has gone from high voltage to absolutely nutso. During the first song at a recent live show, a packed house at Herman's Hideaway went berserk before singer Mike Mitchell had belted out the first chorus. The band plays often in the Rocky Mountain region, and just kicked ass at a recent jaunt to Las Vegas as a featured band from Localmusicscenes.com. The cowboy hats, the leather chaps, the whiskey, the heavy-metal guitar licks and the sheer sexiness of this band should remind us Denver can get a little bit country sometimes and still hold tightly to our hipster credibility. It's gutsy, it's confident, and it's a good time. - Pearl Go-Go Magazine
