Description:
According to Hoyle is a band dedicated to satisfying lovers of quality rock music. Drawing from numerous and varied sources, they have developed a style of original music which could be desribed as modern rock with the melodic sense of pop, the heavy guitar of metal and the upbeat catch of punk.
Band Members:
William Steinmetz – Lead Vocals. William’s strong voice and pronounced vocal style, which blends elements of rock, funk and soul, are effective as the leading voice of According to Hoyle.
Joseph Bloom – Lead Guitar. Equally content to pound out a chunky metal riff, strum through a ballad or to let loose a blazing or weeping solo, Joseph’s dedication to complementing the song is an obvious and integral part of According to Hoyle’s original style.
Ricky Batka – Rhythm Guitar. Ricky’s full tone and biting rhythmic passages serve as a large building block in According to Hoyle’s pyramid of sound, while his sense of melody and supple approach round out the mix on lighter pieces.
Ryan Gaal – Bass. With the occasional soulful lead or pounding slap-bass venture, Ryan completes the rhythm section picture and sets his bass playing apart from the “root-notes-only” crowd.
Chris Bloom – Drums. Never hesitant to stutter-step his double-bass through a heavy section or back off and lay down a tight bass/snare groove for some good old rock ‘n roll, the versatility of Chris’ drumming lays the foundation for According to Hoyle’s eclectic approach to modern rock.
