Straightfork ( Live with Podunk 4/26)

Outlaw Rock & Roll

About Me


Straightfork is a four piece rock machine from Houston Texas that is all about pure rock and roll. Straightfork was formed in October of 2004 and since then the quartet has been steadily growing and progressing in the Houston rock scene and throughout Texas in general. Straightfork strives to put out a hard driving classic/southern rock sound that seems to be missing in much of today’s music. With so many influences behind them such as AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Guns N’ Roses and ZZ Top, it’s hard to place this fresh new act into one genre of rock. They like to refer to it as real rock and roll with a Texas attitude. Many are curious about the name, which the band adopted from a street sign in one of their local neighborhoods. The members had passed the street countless times on their way to practice and knew that was the name that would represent their unique style of rock. Just like their name, Straightfork sounds a little different and has that good old southern flair that helps them stand out in a modern music scene filled with generic “cookie cutter” bands. Straightfork is not only about the south, but about honest, hard driving, big riff American rock and roll in general; the type of music that has withstood various fads and trends throughout the years and helped set the foundation of rock music today. This is the kind of music that each member of the band has grown up listening to and is the kind of music that rings true in their hearts. Rock and roll never died. It’s alive and well in a little place called Texas.

"Straightfork is the ultimate hard rock revival band, conjuring up the sounds of two rock and roll eras - the heavy AC/DC, Motley Crue sound of the early ’80s, mixed with the Southern-fried rock of bands ike ’70s great Lynyrd Skynyrd, to form a sound that is distinctly Southern and undeniably Texan. Young, energetic, and charismatic, these guys are in absolute control of the stage and the crowd. Their new EP, "Living", captures all of the elements of the band perfectly, and - if the gods of rock ever get their shit together - should get airplay on every rock station in America."
Jay Bourgeois - myspace.com/rocknhouston

"Stomping out Of Texas comes a 4-piece called Straightfork whose members are all in their early twenties and grew up listening to bad ass rock and blues bands such as Kiss, Black Sabbath, Bad Company, Motley Crue, Led Zeppelin, CCR, AC/DC and The Allman Brothers. But in spite of their young age these guys deliver a hefty kick in the balls."
Peter Schoonooghe -RockReport.be

"First of all, this band is not Jed Clampett and the fucking hillbillies they are down-home boys from Texas with a flare for traditional rock, busting strings and having a good ole time. I feel the vibe that could make Straightfork a special project, and thats what I like to hear!"
-Brian Rademacher- Rockeyez.com
