"Drive" is the kind of song that just begs for about 20 listens in a row every time I put it on, and I can only imagine that it's even better live. I also love that they describe their genre as "fun rock n roll," because amidst the sea of young rock bands that are either taking themselves way too seriously or trying way too hard to convince you that they're not taking themselves seriously, it's refreshing to see some dudes making good rock music that's fun to listen to...and having a great time doing it." - Nasvhille NOObsauce

"I don't have much to say about these guys that I didn't already say last time, but let me reiterate the highlights: they're roots rock, they're brand spankin' new, and they're good. Having formed this past summer, these guys have just four tracks, none of which stray far from their distinctly breezy, OAR-type vibe. All four are great, though "Drive" is definitely the strongest of the bunch (followed closely by "Already Dreaming"). My only complaint is that there isn't more material to listen to. - Nasvhille NOObsauce

"brand-spankin'-new indie/roots rockers The Cultivation. Really - these guys just arrived on the scene; they formed last summer and have just four tracks, one upcoming show, and 93 likes on their facebook page (one of them is me). Having consulted my all-seeing crystal eye that every blogger gets when they sign up, though, I predict that it won't be long before these guys start to win some notice. The band describes their brand of music as "fun rock n' roll," and I'd say that's pretty spot on."
"Their song "Drive," is about as bouncy, hooky, and fun as they come, and, as the name suggests, it also makes a top-notch driving song." - Nashville NOObsauce

Bio
As a band we try to make music that plays to the honesty of our songs. Blues, rock and a retro vibe are standards to the music we have created so far. We are always searching for new influences into fresh genres and opportunities to grow musically as a band.
THE CULTIVATION
The Cultivation is a Nashville based pop-rock sensation comprised of Emerson Wells, Kevin Martin, Tony Thompson and Jay Averitt. Their feel-good, melodically intricate tunes, driven by the flawless vocals of Wells have drawn attention from Nashville's very own Lightning 100, putting them in the heat of the fire with some of Nashville's most established bands in the Indie Radio's Music City Mayhem Contest. Their radio debut has drawn attention, practically over night, from local and national press and industry, pushing them into the ranks with the best.
Their recently released, self-titled EP, is grounded, yet progressive (Think Fleetwood Mac meets F.U.N.) With hook-driven songs that are as perfect for a road-trip or cranking at a party as they are for mulling over the lyrics and pondering the delicate arrangements, The Cultivation's unpretentious tunes give a little something for everyone. And, their live show is something not to be missed. At the root of it all, these boys like to have fun and make sure to entertain. They play from the heart, and love what they do. They're tight, well-rehearsed, and have a plethora of catchy originals. This fresh band is beaming with talent and vigor. They hype has begun, and it's only a matter of time before the rest of the world catches on.
