Hailing from Portland, Ore., The Troglodytes combine the raw crunch of unfettered rock and roll with an adrenaline that at times carves with a punk-rock edge.
Thats not to say this power trio is lacking in musical touch, as exquisitely displayed in the anthems Elephants and Oxygen Tents, Bell in the Dandelions and the popular-music favorite, Monday Morning Alcoholic Nihilists. With Jesus Doesnt Love Me, the range and creativity of Jason James Olsons songwriting explores an emotional outpouring reminiscent of such legendary performers as Hank Williams Sr.
This is blue-collar rock and roll that transcends contemporary clichés and genres. It is, quite simply put, pure and honest music played with a foot-stomping, fist-in-the-air spirit that is certain to keep any audience screaming for more.
