Six years and six CD's later, Abby SomeOne has endured a fire, tornado, flood, 3 car wrecks, a penitentiary, and a heart attack. A&R guys no longer scare them.

Their latest CD, Schizosonic is available from the ASO Store and from CD Baby.
Bruce Von Stiers of BVS Reviews comments: “AbbySomeOne is one of those bands that you'd swear you heard before but just can't place. They have a sound that is a mixture of
Americana and hard hitting rock…Bitz and the other members of Abby SomeOne are definitely keeping it real. You won't find a song on the album that doesn't touch upon some element of human drama. They do it with a style that should move them from the college and club date gigs to capacity filled arenas in the near future.”
ASO has appeared with Styx, Live, Johnny Winter, Sheryl Crow, the Georgia Satellites, and Kentucky Headhunters, and is road tested, radio friendly, and ready to reach the next level. The band has taken its music all over the country, but the theme they hear often from the industry is "boys, we love your music, but you're from the wrong part of the country. South Dakota music just doesn't count." Well, Abby SomeOne plays South Dakota Rock & Roll.....and it counts!
