About Me

The Slack-Jawed Yokels have been rocking the corn country of rural Ohio since they were old enough to do burnouts. Caution: seeing them live may cause your face to be rocked off! That's all I can think of in third person... Oh and They don't take themselves too seriously!
Rocknroll Purgatory says "Captured in the wild forests outside of Medina, The Slack Jawed Yokels will serve up a hillbilly brow-beatin' with their savage sound sandwiched tightly between Nashville Pussy and The Rev. in a perverse act of irreverance that will leave you grinning like your weird uncle at Fredrick's of Hollywood."
