The Salamanders

Hailing from Bozeman Montana the Salamanders represent the real punk ethic of originality and individualism...not the bullshit fashion show of the mainstream and its candy coated excrement that is just a corporate- money making insult to true rock and roll. Just here to move you and support the present times. The time has come to speak of better things.SALLY'S REVIEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!If you missed the boat on getting a wristband for tonight's Scion Garage Fest—whether by accident, or with the idea that the fest had nothing to offer you—have no fear, the Salamanders are here. Straight out of Bozeman, Montana, with a more legitimate rock 'n' roll sound than half the bands on the Scion fest roster. No offense to those guys, but with the over-saturation of the "garage" sound these days, the real thing can be hard to determine. What's the real thing? Unassuming sincerity, balls-out energy, and the fearlessness to borrow from other bands and sounds with the intent of making original, interesting music rather than a carbon copy of what people already like to hear. Bringing Dead Milkmen-type punk agitation, twangy surf style, and even a slight bit of classic country at the edges, the Salamanders are sure to stomp and shred the place into a frenzy. Yeah, these guys are it. MB-THE PORTLAND MERCURY
