about
This is americana, roots, folk music but not as you have ever heard it before. The band have deepened and darkened their sound, whilst sticking to their focus on acoustic instruments predominating, some of these tracks are well... damned heavy!
If There's A God Out Here is a brooding, almost cinematic, depiction of a forgotten and abandoned part of America (Appalachia), despite its heart-breaking beauty. Based on Steve's trek on foot through the region, it focuses on a world where, no longer is it moonshine whiskey that is distilled in the backwoods, but 'Hillbilly Heroin', also known as crack cocaine. A place where corporate greed has created a painkiller dependency that effects, more or less, every family. Steve and Kev shore the vocals in a haunting and moving song.

A swampy brew of styles mixed from both sides of the ocean, characterised by sharp lyrics, great melodies and the fab sound of acoustic instruments being played with passion and purpose. It’s a kind of music that appeals to the renegade and outlaw in us all. ... more
