Independent Idols are a Milwaukee, Wisconsin based all-original power-pop and hard rock outfit featuring vocalist RYAN BERARD, guitarist TODD MICHEAL, drummer TONY MYERS, and bassist DAN MORRISSEY. Together, Independent Idols craft tasty, hook-laden rock-and-roll, reminiscent of acts such as The Smithereens, Foo Fighters, Goo Goo Dolls, and Collective Soul, to name a few. Forming in 2000 and formerly known as “Childhood”, INDEPENDENT IDOLS emerged new and improved in 2005, with two new members (Myers and Berard) and featuring Ryan's strong vocal tenor soaring over the band’s new, harder-edged sound provided by Michael’s sizzling guitar work, the rock-steady, driving drums of Myers, and Morrissey’s memorable and melodic bass lines.
The band’s music is very familiar to the listener, even though all of the music is written and composed by the band members. Hooks and familiarity make the Idols’ music easy to grab on to, and has mass appeal across a variety of fans tastes.
