Sounds Like: YD, Kris, Will & Greg....“Resplandor is like your favorite bar stool. Comfortable background support for your whiskey soaked life..†– Kord Davis, Whiskey Dick Records.“Resplandor is a harvest feast of American music. Loosen up your Bible belt and save your fork.†– Jimmy “Speedball†Tucker, Rock God.“On “Resplandor†the Moonshine Hangover gang has mellowed. Less the caustic punch of 100 proof grain alcohol and more the sweet fire of an aged Kentucky whisky. It will warm your gullet as the boys swap tall tales of downfall and redemption. Join them in a toast to feuds long simmering, outlaws on the run and the inevitable entanglements of the heart. Cheers!†– Lisa Lepine, Promotion Queen."Mining that territory where bands like the Bottle Rockets and the Drive-By Truckers hang out, these guys are bellying up to the bar with them. The sound is raw and theres as much energy on this studio album as any live stuff youre likely to hear."--Village Records"A shot of twang, hold the glitz... Grits-and-gravy... Southern-fried... Formed out of reverence of and proclivity for a beat-up hardwood dance floor, a Saturday night and long sets of sweaty guitar riffs and gravelly harmonies. They're as tight as the Skoal in your jeans back pocket, forged after many nights where success is measured in broken guitar strings and the empties on the amps."-- The Oregonian"Hard-rockin', twang-laden sincerity, smart songs and simpatico playing push Portlands' Moonshine Hangover past the alt-country also rans on the bands' sophomore disc, Thicket. If the bands songwriting continues to improve along these lines, we'll soon have our own local Drive-By Trucking franchise."-- Willamette Week"Moonshine Hangover power on with more twang-jacked Southern rock for the bold at heart. You'd never guess that this quartet was from as far North as Portland, but they seem to have Georgia on their mind and some blazing guitars to power the thought."-- Miles of Music"The beer-drinkers and hell-raisers in Moonshine Hangover take their debt to the authentic outlaw country seriously. This Portland quartets turbo-twang barn-burners scorch the stage like a flaming tractor careening trough crops, slapping off any sissy ironic trucker hats within a cornfields radius."-- Portland Mercury
