"One of the most intense stage shows in the country."
The Unsatisfied from Chattanooga, Tennessee Have experienced 20 years of rock star ambition and hard as nails reality. They are one of the only truly genuine punk rock glam thrash metal rock bands left, if there ever was one to match. The only comparable show would be Iggy Pop and the Stooges, but no one anywhere performs with more passion channeled into serious art form than Eric Scealf, front man of the Unsatisfied. Eric delivers one of the most athletic and artistically impassioned stage shows ever to be experienced. There is no fakery or put on at all with The Unsatisfied. Being a glam rock god in southeast Tennessee isn't easy and You've got to be ready and able to kick ass consistently and genuinely at every performance to get away with this kind of over the top trauma-drama onstage and still come out as graciously as any artist in any medium. Classic underground recordings such as "Seven Inch rock Scar" named after an injury Eric received onstage opening for The Misfits as well as a stage show that always gives it their uncompromising sweat 'n blood has given The Unsatisfied one of the most loyal and impassioned fan bases of any under-rated, underplayed, too far out for radio rock band ever to creep out of the sweaty south. No audience ever forgets a show by The Unsatisfied. Be prepared for loud, high energy rock 'n roll ecstasy.

Hard-driving wild-as-a-bat southern punk rock by the greatest band you've never heard of"... Joe Bob Brigg's,
"Eric is like a rock 'n roll messiah, sacrificing himself onstage for his audience."

The Unsatisfied Bio's
Having been known as underground icons in the punk and gothic scenes for many years, the Unsatisfied began to enjoy wide U.S. and European distribution with their third full-length album, "The Way To The Crumbs" on Antidote Records, which was released November 2006. The Unsatisfied are one of those genuine rarities of raw rock and roll, live band energy and precision, and dangerous punk rock. Not only are they one of the most authentic, genuine American rock and roll punk bands in the south, they are also appreciated by such names as David Bowie, the New York Dolls, and Little Steven. Since the album's release, the band has received airplay on many Clear Channel & other rock format stations across the US. When a review and article appeared in the February 2007 edition of the British magazine "Classic Rock", European distribution increased significantly and Japan and Germany also reported a boost in CD sales. They eventually reached 48th on the Friday morning QB radio requested play listings in the US during this time period.
