THEM GUYS: A Journey Through Music, Friendship, and Passion

In the heart of South Louisiana, four lifelong friends united by a shared musical vision came together to form THEM GUYS in 2019. What initially started as a tribute band project dedicated to the iconic Chevelle took an unexpected turn when the global pandemic forced a shift in their creative focus. In the face of adversity, THEM GUYS emerged stronger than ever, embracing the opportunity to write and produce their own music.

The Studio Journey: "All A Dream" "Insomnious" and “Delusions”

With the country in lockdown during 2020, THEM GUYS delved into songwriting, and the result was their debut studio album, "All A Dream," brought to life with the expertise of OCD Recording and Productions. The album marked a significant chapter in their musical journey, showcasing their versatility and passion for creating original content.

In 2022, THEM GUYS returned to the studio for their second studio album, "Insomnious," continuing their partnership with OCD. This release solidified their commitment to artistic growth and cemented their presence in the rock music scene.

In their latest sonic odyssey, THEM GUYS, unleash the powerhouse that is "Delusions." This album, bursting at the seams with unadulterated rock'n'roll energy, catapults beyond the boundaries of regional expectations. Picture this: "I'm Home" kicks things off with an explosive homage to Tool's intricate openings, setting the stage for a wild ride. "Only Drug I Need" emerges as a lyrical rollercoaster, ingeniously navigating the realms of irony and musical mastery. Brace yourself for "Push Away," a revelation featuring a riff that pays homage to the glory days of metal music. "Sick Of Misery" introduces a fresh sonic palette, and the eponymous track, "Delusions," serves up a sonic feast of guitar wizardry. No Beuno my friends!

Shifting Focus to Fans

However, for THEM GUYS, it's not just about the music; it's about the fans. Recognizing the vital role their supporters play, the band redirected their energy towards providing an unparalleled live music experience. Their dedication to the audience has become a cornerstone of their identity, making every performance an unforgettable event.
