I Rock – The Bites

When it came time to name their second album, The Bites didn’t need to brainstorm for very long. They went the self-titled route because The Bites is exactly who they are, and it’s exactly how they want to be seen and heard. The album is an evolution, a bold step forward from a band who made it fun to celebrate rock and roll again. And while there is still plenty of cause to celebrate, there’s also so much more. No longer inspired solely by the bright lights of the storied big city they call home, The Bites now speak a universal language that transcends Los Angeles. The writing process was a journey of discovery – nothing was off limits, and no inspiration was left unturned. They weren’t afraid to stretch beyond their comfort zone, and blues, pop and acoustic all leave their mark on the sophomore release. Their debut album cracked the Top 40 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, priming the airwaves for new single “Aftertaste,” a modern rock explosion that flips the thrill of the chase upside down and leaves it turned around. In one form or another, we can all relate. If their debut album was about the Squeeze, The Bites will leave us all enjoying the juice. “We couldn’t be prouder of this album, and we wouldn’t change a thing about it if we could,” says vocalist Jordan Tyler. “When it came time to give it a name, The Bites was the only name that made sense. This is who we are, and we can’t wait for people to join us on the ride!” The Bites
