Influences
about every damn thing we've ever heard
Sounds Like
white trash R&B, northern culture on the sauce, celebrating living on the wrong side of the tracks
Started in late 2004 as a way to get the jonesing to play some old tunes out of their system. Billybob Jethro and Big Frank decided to go full on with a band play some of the old classic tunes , some songs that you've never heard, and some songs that they have written.
We're writing and drinking, or is that drinking and writing? songs about, love, booze, food, religion, and of course bowling and redemption in the bottom of a bottle.
