Cage the Elephant's raucous live show - which made this red-hot Kentucky-bred band the talk of last year's South-by-Southwest music festival, and led USA Today to single them out as a band not to miss at 2009's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival - is the perfect showcase for their buzzed-about self-titled debut album for Jive Records. Recorded over 10 days with Grammy Award-winning producer Jay Joyce, and a huge summer anthem (Ain't No Rest For The Wicked), the album is a genre-defying blend of rock n roll and raw youthful punk energy all propelled by Matt Shultz's taunting, Dylan-esque rhythmic vocal delivery, Brad Shultz and Lincoln Parish's furious twin guitar assault, and bassist Daniel Tichenor and drummer Jared Champion's rock-steady funk grooves.
