DragStrip Riot

YOU’RE FUCKIN’ WELL RIGHT IT’S ROCK N ROLL!

About Me

May 30 @ The Anchor, Everett

"It makes more sense than you'd think for this Seattle group to list both the Misfits and Bo Diddley as influences. DragStrip's frenzied tracks play punk not as reductionist rock but as fired-up noir-blues, with lyrics yowling out an exorcism, and the old riffs following every seamy urge"
