about
"This Portland, Ore., garage-folk hybrid trio shuffles up and down the AM radio dial circa 1965, alternating between slightly dissonant snorts of rock, R&B, and country. Their new sophomore LP, Rain & Blood (Starcleaner), is chock-full of left-field hooks and strange energy." – Greg Beets- AUSTIN CHRONICLE THEE HEADLINERS, PURE COUNTRY GOLD, THE FAST TAKERS, RIGHT ON JOHN (Rotture, 315 SE 3rd) Celebrating the release of their sloppy, soulful second record, Rain & Blood, the record dredges up the darkest corners of American music, coming up with something that I could call gothi-blues-abilly but won't, because that would sound ridiculous. Still, when you've got a punk mentality mining the depths of garage, country, and R&B with very blunt instruments, it becomes clear how all these different musical genres are intertwined. It also becomes clear that overthinking this music is a total waste of time. How 'bout cracking a beer and kicking the dirt instead? NED LANNAMANN-Portland Mercury 3/5/2009 “Wearing its influences proudly, from pre-rock Americana’s folk and country roots to ’60s soul; from jazz and murder ballads to garage rock, the band’s sound is like a snowball effect of the past 90 years of American music—all rolled into one distortion-heavy package.”-AP KRYZA - WILLAMETTE WEEK [November 14th, 2007] User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
