Reigning Sound is an American garage punk band that was originally based out of Memphis, Tennessee and is now located in Asheville, North Carolina. Known for their raw and energetic sound, they have gained a loyal following over the years.
In June 2022, the band announced that they were splitting up, marking the end of an era for their fans. Despite this news, Reigning Sound's impact on the music scene will not be forgotten.
If you enjoy *The Dirtbombs*, *The Gories*, or *Oblivians*, then Reigning Sound's music is sure to resonate with you. Their unique blend of garage rock and punk influences sets them apart from other bands in the genre.

'Shattered' will be Reigning Sound's first album for Merge and the first full LP by the group since 2009's 'Love and Curses'. The band's principal songwriter/member is Greg Cartwright, who's been leading the shifting cast of characters since 2001. You may be familiar with some of the band's work, as this album is preceded by five studio efforts as well as numerous EPs and live records. Or perhaps some of Greg's other projects have been on your musical radar: The Oblivians, Parting Gifts, Compulsive Gamblers, 68 Comeback, Deadly Snakes, Detroit Cobras. Regardless, as far as Reigning Sound is concerned, this is as good a place to start as any because through many line-up changes and mood swings, the central, constant feature is the way Greg writes songs. This particular embodiment of the band includes longtime keyboardist Dave Amels, who joined the band seven years ago when Reigning Sound recorded an album, consisting mostly of Cartwright's songs, with former Shangri-Las lead singer Mary Weiss.LP with Download.
