In 1999, the band released their self-titled debut on the indie label Fuse Records, and began marketing efforts on the Web, using their Web site at http://home.earthlink.net/~uncletoms digital music outlets, internet radio, and on-line record merchants to help spread the word. The band calls themselves a cross between the Sex Pistols and The Monkees, combining guitar rock with a pop sound and catchy tunes. Their album opens surprisingly with a classic guitar intro to "I'm In Love With My Gun," that reminds me of Lynyrd Skynyrd "Tuesday's Gone" and then takes a turn and never goes back. With tracks like "Nice Guys" and "Your Mother Told Me," this band strikingly resembles the glammed-out sleaze rock band Star Star, who, as you may recall, had an album out years ago called The Love Drag Years. Their tunes are catchy, in the vein of the Escape Club (thinking back to the eighties) and more recently, the Marvelous 3 or even D Generation. They are sure to catch the attention of college radio listeners and those who enjoy bands with a punk flavor and lots of vocal attitude. With more than 25,000 downloads at MP3.com, an award winning Web site, and radio play around the world, it seems that Uncle Tom has created enough buzz to attract some attention. They have recently been approached by several labels, including the majors like Sony and Elektra, as well as several indie companies.
