episode 10: South of Eden
Ehab Omran is already making plans for when he blows out his voice. Right now, he can hit otherworldly notes as frontman for South Of Eden, a rock band (like, a real, unhyphenated rock in the tradition of Guns N' Roses) from Columbus, Ohio. But when he can't sing in that whistle register anymore? "If I end up sounding like Johnny Cash, then it is what it is."
Previously known as Black Coffee, South Of Eden play loud and fast and have a great time doing it. Their latest EP, The Talk, was produced by Greg Wells, whose other clients include Carrie Underwood, Twenty One Pilots and Katy Perry.
On this episode, we talk with Ehab and bassist Nick Frantianne to learn their origin story and find out how they write songs. These two have a kind of rapport that leads to jabs like Ehab accusing Nick of having "stoned thoughts even when he's not stoned," but it's underscored with heaps of respect earned during those hours in the studio.
