    As far as I can tell, this is the most fabulous example of what music is supposed to be. Ranging from country flavors to trip-hop swinging, this group from Cleveland, TN has the talent it takes to change music and the ways we listen to it. Sighting influences from Costello, Ramones, Talking Heads, and score writers Rodgers & Hammerstein, this guild of players will certainly be a top spot on your indie list as soon as you stop listening to that other crap you call music. With a song soon to be placed on a VBM unsigned bands compilation, JRW & The Biz will soon be noticed by all, but don't count on any selling out with these honest boys who don't rent out their hearts.
