Whiskey Boots

About Me



"Inside, I was walloped again - this time by the furious sound of Whiskey Boots... and boys, they will make you their bitch. Lofflin runs her devilish SG through a bass and guitar amp, channeling a sound that would rip Jack White’s underwear right through his fly. As for Farrand, well, to quote the Stone Roses, she bangs the drums, baby." ---Jason Harper, Pitch Weekly, Music Editor
"Whiskey Boots is a grimy, bare-knuckled classic-rock/blues duo in the vein of the Black Keys, among others. Heather Lofflin’s guitar is loud, hard, heavy and nimble - thunder, hail and lighting all in one - and her voice evokes alpha-female singers like Janis Joplin, Wendy Case (Paybacks) and P.J.Harvey. You could add the White Stripes to the list of comparisons but for one big difference: Amy Farrand, a man’s drummer who bangs and bashes with the abandon of John Bonham. An impressive debut." ---Tim Finn, Kansas City Star, Pop Music Critic
"Let’s get this straight right away. Whiskey Boots will rock your chromosomes. The two members, Amy Farrand (American Catastrophe, E.I.O., Shotgun Idols, and Sister Mary Rotten Crotch) and Heather Lofflin (The Diamond Heart Club, Black Calvin, Honeybaby), have an impressive music pedigree that spans rock, punk, blues, and Americana. Together as a two-piece outfit, Whiskey Boots dispenses tuneful, hard-pounding rock with a snarling blues undercurrent using rough-and-tumble guitar, fierce drum work, and primal vocals. Hands down, they are a must-see band for sheer energy and bravado." –-–Pete Dulin, Present Magazine, Editor

Influences: Really? Seriously? Name it.
Sounds Like: For a two-piece, Whiskey Boots brings more ferocity and energy to the stage than most full-sized combos, a result of the natural intensity of the two women who bring-it with guitar, drums and vocals (and the occasional lap steel). When experiencing WB live, resist the urge to take a few steps back; the closer you get, the more you will understand the soothing power of head-on rock-n-roll.The music is aggressive, yet tuneful, with notable, strong vocal flourishes. As a function of the instrumentation, the music is stripped-down to the essentials, yet never dull. What they do is constantly evolving, but will surely never stray far from its solid, no-frills, rock-n-roll foundation.
