Rebel Country Music!

About Me

Their music is born out of workin' hard and livin' harder. Beard grew up working on his Grandfather's farm and his Dad's construction company throwin' hay bales, bricks and firewood; drivin' old tractors, old trucks and old motorcycles. Then spent three years workin' on trains... livin' on one of them! Scot brings in the hard edge sound, influenced by a healthy dose of skate punk during his "formative" years! Greg's a motorcycle maniac and a heavy duty mechanic. Fixin' big diesel engines by day and playin' a big upright by night! Then there's Chris Martel. Keepin' the rest of the boys in in time and out of line! These boys sweat for a livin' and it comes through in their music.Drop by their official site!

Our EP, Whisky River, is now in stock at Red Cat Records!

Behind the song...Whisky River

Seems every time that I go back home for a spell, the urban sprawl keeps closin' in. I've noticed that each time I take that blacktop up from the city to my old country home, the farmland that separa...
