Win/So One-Stop artist You Scream I Scream has been up to exciting things lately. They recently released their latest album “Zookeeper” and performed it to a packed club in their local home of Hartford, Connecticut.
You Scream I Scream (Nantucket/NYC/Connecticut) is at its core a three-piece band with distorted bass guitar and vocals (Floyd Kellogg), Rhodes and synth (Jake Vohs), along with floor tom-driven drums and big cymbals (Audrey Sterk). The music’s unique fingerprint is part Talking Heads in its beats and the lyrics’ sometimes dark playfulness, and Floyd’s vocal stylings—baritone singing and yelling contrasted with “bitchy girl” backing vocals—and stripped-down instrumentation can be reminiscent of Morphine or Soul Coughing. You Scream I Scream plays high-energy, loud, electro-grunge shows around New England and New York.
They have a limited first pressing of the new album “Zookeeper” and you check it out on their Bandcamp page:
The CD’s first single “Baby” was Co-Written by Chris Ballews, the lead signer for The Presidents Of The United States Of America.
Selected Press:
“It’s a catchy, quirky album with propulsive basslines powering songs full of cinematic synths and woozy vocal hooks. Opener “Cars” slides past on layers of sweeping keyboards and gruff vocals, a jaunty whistled melody buoys the bobbing, bass-heavy “Baby” and a dance-grunge bass riff thrums beneath the snap of a snare drum on “Oh So Buena,” as drummer Audrey Sterk helps out on backing vocals.”

“You Scream I Scream have just released their new LP Zookeeper and it’s a WEIRD one for sure. If there is one thing I like, it’s music that takes me by surprise…”
-Jimmy Winston (of CTIndie.com)
“‘Baby’ funks up the room with its synthy bass line and rhythm. It sounds like it could in part be a Fake Babies song. This one must be a crowd pleaser, for sure! I love the whistles!”
-Jimmy Winston (of CTIndie.com)
You Scream I Scream also just got noted as one of the Best Indie bands in Connecticut by the statewide publication The Advocate for an event they call The Grand Band Slam.
