The Bloody Tears

About Me

Dig the rock/soul vibe from the Pharoahs of Nouveau Soul, The Bloody Tears. Swing with their Southern boogie, Garage, Gospel, Mo-Stax and dirty R-n-B sound of 60's covers and solid originals. The BT's rip it up with guitar,baritone sax, bass, drums and screaming vocals. Their first full length "Downhanded" on Licorice Tree records was a solid hit and for those who wanna dance, check out the free mp3's from licorice Tree....Free for the Tree.
