About Me


Above are new songs being that we've just released for 2009. Here's what some critics had to say about Slowtrain's previous independently recorded and released record."Four out of Five Stars!" Arsenio Orteza, The Times of Acadiana "They're probably new to you, but those that have discovered them have that smug feeling of being onto something good." Jeffrey Overstreet, Promontory Artists "Call it what you will - simply put, this is some good stuff." Brian A. Smith Phantom Tollbooth
