Aptly described as “Kentucky fried alt-rock,” The Greatest of These draw from their roots planted firmly in the Appalachian foothills. The Greatest of These are a 4-piece alternative rock band from Eastern Kentucky now based in the Lexington, KY area. Influenced by both blues and the Seattle sound of the mid-90s, TGOT often add 3-part harmonies and atypical time signatures to add polish to their otherwise gritty sound.

Todd Melton’s vocal style, clearly influenced by The Doors and Pearl Jam, forms a unique bond with the melodic and classic hard rock-influenced guitar riffs written by Steve Jones. Dustin Tennill and Trent Garrison form a rhythm section that is the perfect backdrop for these sounds, rooted in alternative rock as well as blues and jazz. Each member of the band brings a unique musical perspective, being influenced by different avenues of rock and roll.
