When I got home from the American Slang show in the early morning, I texted and messaged about five people and said, “I just witnessed greatness.” Only one person was still awake — my sister — and I told her all about the amazing show I’d just seen.

One bio for American Slang reads in part:

American Slang is a rapidly rising teenage rock band based out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They have quickly gained a reputation for their electrifying on stage performances and are consistently packing out rooms throughout the state and moving beyond. It’s rare to come across a generational talent. American Slang has 5 of them.

In this case, electrifying and generational are understated adjectives.

Preston Reeves and JC Farmer, American Slang

American Slang is a five-piece rock band that consists of vocalist Miller Wilke, bassist Siggy West, drummer Boston Davis, and guitarists JC Farmer and Preston Reeves and based on what I saw, if they stay on track, they are absolutely going to be famous.
