But we need more power -



So I am currently in Pennsylvania with the Mrs. and the Baby. My wife was a bridesmaid in her good friend's wedding last night. Congrats Becki & Troy!! It was a blast and it was great to see everyone. The music of this next band is the perfect soundtrack for driving through the Allegheny Mountains and sippin' on a Straub.

By viewing the resume of the musicians that make up the Colorado band Drag The River, you might expect a pop-punk supergroup of sorts. Around since the late 90's with various lineups, their current one includes former members of Armchair Martian, ALL, The Nobodys, Pinhead Circus, and Hot Rod Circuit. Heck, their first record came out on a label run by the ALL/Descendents crew. (Un)fortunately or not, punk is something this band ain't.

If Lucero played a little slower and with a litte more twang, you might get something close to Drag The River. This is alt-country played by punks, but with an emphasis on the country. This is music that you can either line dance to, or (if you perfer) just sit at the bar and cry in your beer. Their latest album It's Crazy came out this summer on Suburban Home Records. Drink up!
