That opened doors, but so did steady work. The rock quartet had left its hometown of Orangeburg, S.C.
, to do open mic nights in Columbia, S.C., and then Atlanta, where it scored frequent gigs at Eddie's Attic and Smith's Olde Bar.
The group recorded a live EP, burned copies and circulated it before getting signed to J Records. The Sony BMG label is putting out the group's studio debut, "Heavy Weighs the King," early next year, led by the single "Seven Days of Lonely" which bowed at No. 32 on the Adult Top 40 chart last week.
