Rarely do Cleveland bars set the scene for a band’s destiny, but SomeKindaWonderful has a different story to tell.

The Cleveland alternative-rock band came together in January 2013 when singer-songwriter Jordy Towers met drummer Ben Schigel and guitarist Matt Gibson at a bar in Cleveland while visiting his family. Prior to arriving in Cleveland, Towers was signed to Interscope and decided it was time to move on. Call it destinythat this fateful trip led them to their hit single “Reverse,” written the same night they befriended each other. Soon after, they had a signed record deal with Downtown Records and White Clover Records.

If you’ve listened to the radio in the past months, the chances are good that you have heard their first hit single, “Reverse.” Their music might be hard to put into one category, considering it’s a mixture of indie-rock and R&B, but that’s what sets them apart from the rest.

“We’re not cookie cutter; we’re not like your normal top 40 band,” Jordy Towers said. “We’re gonna push boundaries.”

“Reverse” has opened the doorway for people to be aware of their self-titled album. This creative band name represents more than just a name; it represents who they are as people and how they want to be remembered.

“Wonderful is the rare beautiful moment of life that you know, we wanted to be a part of,” Matt Gibson said. “We wanted that to hopefully remind people of us.”

You might think their album cover is simple and just a creative design of a shape of a butterfly filled with multiple smaller, colorful butterflies, but there’s more than what meets the eye.

“In a whole it represents us blooming, it’s what we were going to be,” Towers said. “I think we were all at our own stages before we made this album, and we were all getting ready to grow into the butterfly. That’s what this album is: it’s our metamorphosis; it’s our bloom.”

Even though they are still earning their freedom as artists throughout their songs, they know within themselves and their songs that they will end being triumphant and coming on top.

“’Police’ is kind of like the resistance against being different and us fighting that,” Tower said. “And finally we get into the deeper stuff toward the end of the album and then at the end we come out triumphant.”

If you’re ready for some new kind of music that has actual meaning, I suggest you hurry and buy tickets to go see SomeKindaWonderful perform this Thursday, Oct. 30, at the House of Blues.
