Loudflower was a Christian alternative rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. Loudflower was noted for being one of the few non-ska bands in the 1990s to feature a horn line, leading to their sound being described as "The Clash meets Earth, Wind and Fire".[1] The band was formed in 1994 by vocalist Rob Groover as a three-piece band, but later expanded the lineup to include horns. The expanded lineup also added Drivin N Cryin guitarist Malcolm "Mac" Carter, who had previously played with Groover in The Shadow Puppets.[1] The band was signed by Grey Dot Records in 1996 [2] and released an EP and a sampler album later that year, with their only full-length album, entitled Happy Now, coming in 1997. The band sued their label, Grey Dot Records, in 1997, and the subsequent two years of litigation led to the band breaking up without recording any additional albums.[3][4]
