My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 19/10/2007
Band Website: www.pushinrope.com
Band Members:

JR: Guitar, shoutin' into a tin can

Sierra: Stand up bass, hootin'

Shawn: Banging elk skins and blow up dolls

George: violin player and stick fiddler

Brent: Banjo, hippie ass no shoe havin

Hard Whiskey, Loud guns, and the Devil.

These are the things that fuel the music of Pushin Rope, a five piece hailing from the dusty hills and empty wastelands of San Diego, California. Combining the best of traditional outlaw country, old time bluegrass, delta blues, and a manic dash of DIY punk and rock & roll, these five gentlemen have created something quite unheard of in Southern California: a foot stompin', head boppin', hootin' and hollerin' tour de force of Americana.

Murderous Songs Of Despair is an album that will kick you in the teeth, hold you down with a boot heel to the throat, center that shotgun right between your eyes, and demand your strict undivided attention.


Influences: Budweiser, good ol' Pabst, cheap tequila, even cheaper whiskey, card shufflin', reds, long-cut wintergreen or mint, dead outlaws, jars a 'shine, that corner seat at the bar, Southern belles, Hank Williams, a pissed off and pilled up Johnny Cash, David Allan Coe, Scott Biram, Skip James, and the depressing backdrop of rural Americana.
Sounds Like:

Sounds like five guys, a guitar, a banjo, a stand up bass, a violin, and some drums.

Sounds like a shotgun wedding at the trailer park.

Sounds like an empty 12 pack of Pabst, only one smoke left, and the whiskey has gone sour.

Sounds like low flying police helicopters about to descend upon your make-shift crystal meth shack out in the middle of the desert.

Sounds like the constant buzzing clatter of a homemade tattoo machine.
