The Great Western Lie

About Me

Formed in the Badlands of Southern England on the shit strewn streets of Hastings Rumiko Jr are kings of barfly country rock. A collision between the rawness of Crazy Horse and the sweetness of West Coast harmony singing their sound cohered on the bands debut Lp Broken down Whiskey sound. 2005 saw the album released by Spanish label Rock Indiana and lead to the band touring Spain.Returning to the UK the band began recording the notorious "difficult" second album, to be entitled The Great Western Lie. Rocking harder than the previous album The Great Western Lie is finished and will be released theough the usual digital channels later this year. You can listen to 4 tracks here.
