Sawmill rakes through the trash of lost american culture and feeds the hungry savages of the 21st century with their brand of acoustic western stompabilly.Similar interests in destruction and filth led four slipshod mongrels to form the band in Worcester, Massachusetts. These highly energetic, highly motivated young men draw their strengths from a long history of working class pride. They celebrate a heritage of blacksmiths, lumberjacks, and mill workers among others, and put forth the energy of those who worked every finger to the bone to earn a living.
Leading the stampede, Ryan Misner and Joe Leone perform double duties, both sharing lead vocals and guitar work. The combination of Leone’s cannon roar and Misner’s psychotic howl destroys any notion of what acoustic music should sound like. The gatling gun beats of Shaun McAuliffe pump lead into the crowd while Jonny Williams draws blood with his bludgeoning bass lines.
The next time you imagine yourself in the midst of a 19th century bank heist getaway, picture what kind of music should be playing in the background... SAWMILL
