Fake Ugly

'Vince Scheuerman has a voice that can swoop and soar like one of his idols, Jeff Buckley, bend a melody like Thom Yorke and carry a boxcar of emotion like Morrissey. Scheuerman has the goods to take it to that proverbial next level. In fact, he may already be there, and it's the rest of the world that's catching up.' - The Washington Post Washington DC's music scene isn't just hardcore and 'post-' everything else. Enter Army of Me and their potent modern rock sound... equal parts Brit Pop and the much missed bravado of the late Jeff Buckley. Melodic hooks abound with singer Vince Scheuerman's singular delivery. THE SCIENTIST AT WORK Most people are surprised to find out that Army of Me's singer and songwriter Vince Scheuerman is a scientist. His songs are so human -- filled with characters, imagery and dialogue more akin to a dreamer than a scientist. But Vince already has a degree from University of Maryland in Mechanical Engineering. Because Army of Me is now touring almost full-time, Scheuerman had to quit the day job looking at atoms with a high powered microscope. But, he hasn't given up his scientific mind, or his quest for knowledge. In many ways, he has approached his songwriting as a scientist would, observing, hypothesizing, dissecting, and experimenting. All the while, he's maintained an awareness that songwriting should not be formulaic, but rather come from the heart and the soul. So scientist or dreamer, the songs pour out of Vince, touching on friendship, betrayal, war, religion, and love. They're universal themes expressed in a distinctive voice. And they're spoken with conviction... that Army of Me is a great band, and that they have something to say.
