Cars & Trucks

About Me



Here it is. Your first taste of the new musical brew from musicians you know and trust -- guys who've done time bringing you the Dames, Farewell Tour, Seed Math, and Words to a Film Score. This is Cars & Trucks. This is music to smile like the cheshire cat to. Just sit back, relax, and think: the Beatles, the Monkees, the Who, the Kinks. Dream of Brendan Benson and Matthew Sweet. Have visions of Cheap Trick or Guided by Voices. If you're into music that is more filled with hooks than Babe Winkelman's tackle box, this band is for you.
